Product Description
From AudioFile
This set is an excellent introduction to meditation. The four meditations can be practiced at any level of intensity the listener chooses. Zinn encourages the listener to be flexible to make the meditations restful and relaxing. He has a gentle, quiet style, guiding the listener through each meditation to focus attention and increase mindfulness. He provides clear directions and offers suggestions throughout each aspect of the program. His encouragement and observations will be particularly useful for beginners, and this set of four provides a core of meditations that can be used in various orders and intensities.

oldie but goodie,

This review is from: Guided Mindfulness Meditation (Audio CD)
Jon Kabat-Zinn has a great series of books and guided meditations. This product has great sound, good background music and a nice relaxing pace. Jon's voice is soothing yet compelling and after a 40 minute session of listening and meditating, you cannot help but feel lighter, more relaxed and calmer. I am glad that the original tapes were dubbed onto CD's as there are a few parts to this CD that are nice to do separately (like the yoga sections).

Not what I was looking for,

This review is from: Guided Mindfulness Meditation (Audio CD)
It would be great if one could hear a sample of the CD or if the contents were described in more detail.To be fair, I just listened 2 of the 4 CDs - the body scan and the sitting meditation. I was looking for something else when I bought this collection, that is the reason for the 3 stars. The body scan meditation CD guides you through each part of the body. It is NOT based on muscle relaxation (press and release of muscles with breathing); you are supposed to bring your mind to an specific part of the body and observe and be aware of it. It is a way of focusing your mind. My problem is that I have not been away to stay awake for more than 10 minutes (the CD is 45 minutes long). I did not buy it to fall asleep but to deal with anxiety, so that CD did not work for me. The sitting meditation has long pauses and silence, I was also looking for a more guided meditation CD.

This review is from: Guided Mindfulness Meditation (Audio CD)
I had to laugh at the various coments on these CD's. People falling asleep, or simply not getting it.There should be a disclaimer however. The CD's are meant to be used in conjunction with the book "Full Catastrophe Living" by the same author. Without the book, which outlines a plan on how to use the CD's, the CD's would be all but useless. One fellow comlained about Zin mentioning an itch they might feel. The point isn't the itch, cramp, or random thought, it's about how to deal with those things during the meditation process. You are training your brain to be "in the moment" and aware of your inner dialogue so that you can better handle the situations you find yourself in without reacting blindly.
