Where's the Guide
I am sorry but it doesn't do what it says on the label. A guided meditation, I felt as tense and uptight at the end as I did before I started. I didn't feel as if the meditation was going anywhere, not to a relaxed state, not to a sense of peace, calm or tranquility, I felt as though I was always hovering on the edge of something about to happen.

Disappointment
After reading the reviews on this CD I couldn't wait to receive it. Alas I was a little dissapointed. If you prefer gentle background music to your meditations, this CD is not the one for you. It is voice only. Unfortunately for me that doesn't work.

A very gentle experience
This CD is really among the best I have tried. It does not try to force "self actualisation" through forceful suggestion like many other very self-centred styles I have heard on "self-hypnosis" cd's I tried: "you are so talented, you have so much potential, let go now, let go...". Most of them advocating that the latest thing is to combine music and hypnotic suggestions. Those are all cheap commercial gimmicks.

Guided mediation is about allowing the person to reach understanding of emotions and feelings as ideas, to examine them equally and in a balanced way and to extrapolate from there into a deeper calm understanding. This is precisely what this CD is doing, particularly with the "Meta" technique.

The voice of the person on the recording is superbly calming and peaceful. It does not force upon the listener anything beyond what they themselves wish to create and to experience. There is no music, no other distractive sounds just a calm voice guiding you and focusing you. No suggestions of what to experience, just what to look for in your own way.

Highly recommended for people new to meditation, or people wishing to experience a good beginning to meditation.
