The meditations a easy to follow. I've tried other guided meditation CDs and they sometimes have distracting anecdotes in the middle of the meditation. This one doesn't. There is a brief introduction to each meditation that can be skipped once you get the hang of it.

I've meditated over the years, but only recently discovered this CD of guided meditations. I use it often and have given it as a gift because I value its simplicity and straightforward approach. It's a great introduction to meditation as well as a call back to the "beginner's mind" for people who aren't new to the practice.

I really enjoyed this CD. Being new to meditation, I didnt know what to expect. The author is very helpful in guiding you through the practice in a calm manner. Very worth it!

This is a great collection of meditations, includes a variety of practices and Jack Kornfield's voice is very soothing. It is down to earth and simple, not cheesy and new agey. I like to use a variety of guided meditations or I get used to one and don't really listen/do it. Along with Bodhipaksa Guided Meditations: For Calmness, Awareness, and Love and Jon Kabat-Zinn Guided Mindfulness Meditation, this is one of the best cd's in my opinion.

I like the content on this, but find that it is almost impossible to use. I downloaded it onto my ipod to use for meditating. But the recording, which has six meditations, is split into TWO audiofiles, each of which contains three meditations plus introductory matieral -- there is no way to easily find the start of each meditation, so I found that I just got frustrated each time I wanted to use this.

I am going to try to edit out each meditation myself, if i can. But otherwise, a great resource has been made largely unusable.

These practices are a wonderful way to have a great master lead the core meditation practices in the comfort of your own living room. Thank you Jack Kornfield for this and your many other gifts to humanity.

It's okay. It's way beginner level, I thought. Too much talking. I was disappointed. I don't even think I went on to listen to the entire CD.
Oh well. I'll recycle it.
