Soooo Relaxing
These meditations are short but so powerful. His voice immediately puts you in a complete state of relaxation.

Effective Meditation
This CD was recommended to me by a friend. I was amazed at how effective it was. In just eight minutes, the guided meditation can take you to a place of peace and tranquility.. a perfect way to start and end the day.

Really A Good Buy
I have bought a lot of meditations looking for meditations that I could really use and did not make me feel just plain silly. I love this meditation CD. The meditations are short, but very refreshing. There are a variety to choose from, that I can select based upon my mood or sentiment at the time. His voice is very soothing and evocative. I find that the meditations relax me and are an excellent preparation to a deep and restful sleep.

Just what I was looking for
I have really been enjoying this CD! I put the tracks on my mp3 player, and it's very nice to listen to on hectic subway rides, even if I don't get the full meditative effect at that moment. For real mediation, I also find it to be right on the money for what I am after. As an actor, I have often used guided mediations to warm-up in classes, and the first track, Grounding the Mind, is very similar to what I have done before in different places. I like the familiarity, and the basic approach. Rather than being complex like Qi Gong, it makes meditation accessible, while encouraging one to go further in the meditation practice. As a very busy person with two careers (at least), I frequently find myself living in the future or the past. The track Being in the Moment was a real eye-opener (or closer!!) for me. The advice on how to bring the meditations into daily life is also very helpful. Unlike some other narrow-minded reviewers, I couldn't care less where Bodhipaksa was born or that he changed his name. The fact is, he has made an effort to understand a way of thinking that he was NOT born into, which makes it easier for him to relate to other non-Buddhists who are interested in expanding their minds. I highly recommend this CD for people who want to get started with meditation and lack the time to devote to longer sessions. I also believe that with continued use of the short meditations, one will be able to start finding the time they thought they lacked.

As the commercial says, "life comes at you fast"
Love this CD because the short segments are calming and focusing in bursts of only a few minutes. Then you can get back to dealing with whatever is coming at you fast - better able to cope.
