New Age Guided Meditations: For Calmness, Awareness, and Love Stress relief in a jewel box
 
Review Date: January 8, 2003
Reviewer: Daffy Du, Del Mar, CA United States
This is hands-down the best meditation CD I've come across. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. It's not tarted up with hokey sound effects and New Age music but is simply the teacher's (very pleasant) voice, guiding you to calm and relaxation. His approach is highly accessible for Westerners and really taught me how to meditate. I'm such a big fan of this CD, in fact, that I've bought at least four to give as gifts to stressed-out friends and family members. (One of the recipients was a voice teacher who said she could listen to him all night.) If you like what you hear, you should also check out the outstanding online meditation courses he offers on www.wildmind.org. I can't recommend the CD or the courses highly enough.

If you would like an introduction to Buddhist Meditation, this is the cd for you! The cd contains three lead meditations, 1) The Mindfulness of breathing practice. 2) The Metta Bhavana Practice (Loving Kindness) 3) Walking Mediation.

I found Bodhipaksa�s cd to be a breath of fresh air. His soft clear voice is perfect to lead meditations. He carefully sets up each meditation in easy to follow steps. This kind of clarity is only found with someone who has been doing something for a long time. It is easy to tell that Bodhipaksa is passionate about what he does. (Bodhipaksa is a member of the Western Buddhist Order, and has been a practicing Buddhist for eighteen years, and teaching meditation for more than a decade)

Relevant to today�s society, where the pace of life is way too fast, and stress is at an all time high. Relax and Rejuvenate with Bodhipaksa and this is guided meditation CD, it is like having your own private meditation teacher.
I can't wait for the book!!!

New Age Guided Meditations: For Calmness, Awareness, and Love Great introduction to "classical" Buddhist meditation
 
Review Date: September 1, 2004
Reviewer: Paula Tillen, Milwaukee, WI USA
I'm a semi-experienced meditator in the "classical" (for want of a better term) tradition of mindfulness or Vipassana meditation. I've found Bodhipaksa's disc to be a wonderful way for beginners to learn to meditate, and for those who are experienced to become refocussed and more skilled. It's not necessary to be a Buddhist practitioner to enjoy and benefit from working with this disc, though. Anyone who is interested in establishing or deepening a practice will find it useful. It's very no-frills, gentle but austere. I would recommend it not for one who wants something nice and "relaxing" (in a new-agey kind of way), but for one who is serious about establishing a solid practice... which is not, after all, about relaxing and feeling good (although those are sometimes pleasant by-products), but about sharpening mental discipline and awareness.

I cannot say enough about this meditation CD. Bodhipaksa has the most soothing voice. I have listened to the Development of Lovingkindness meditation many times and each time I get more out of it. I bought this CD to help me deal with anxiety and panic attacks and it really works. I settle into a comfortable chair and let his voice drop over me and the worries and fears seam to fade away. He guides me to remember that that I can also have a more gentle inner voice that is not filled with anxiety. Highly Recommended!

First, let me comment on some of the poor reviews. If you are looking for soothing new age/classical music to meditate to, this CD is not for you. A matter of fact, it has no music! Most Buddhist meditations may have some chanting, but generally do not have an orchestra in the shrine room!

Second, if you want something to sleep to, I do not know why you would be buying a CD with "awareness" in the title! It difficult being aware when we are "awake" much less asleep ! Try chamomile tea...it helps me sleep very well!

Finally, meditation is not always relaxing. At times it can bring up issues we may find unpleasant. However, it can be a helpful tool in learning about ourselves and our inner most workings. Meditation can be a lot of work ! However, I find that this CD and the speakers calm voice help guide me through my difficult meditations when I was significantly distracted.

If you are looking a a pragmatic meditation CD that is based in traditional Buddhist meditation practices, like mindfulness and Metta Bhavna (loving kindness), and will help you learn and guide you through them, then I recommend this one.
