As a newcomer to meditation I found this Audio CD wonderful to say the least. The four meditations are easy to follow, fun and most enjoyable. The author has a very soothing and calming voice which enhances the nice music accompanied on the CD. Being as stressed as I was, this CD has helped me to relax in my daily life, because whenever I feel stresses I remember the breathing exercises from the CD and it makes me relax. Thank you, Salle, for a fine experience, I would recommend this CD to others, I would also buy any new editions. Warm wishes, John

I was looking for a Beginners Meditation DVD for a gift. I knew Salle's voice from the Global Prayer Project (from the Celestine Prophecy with James Redfield) and specifically went looking to see if Salle had done any beginners mediation DVDs.
The Joy of Mediation is definitely a Joy to mediate too.

I bought this as a cassette tape years ago at a time when I was having trouble sleeping, and just bought the cd. It works so well for me that I've never actually gotten to the end of it. Salle Merrill Redfield has such a soothing voice that even the introduction is relaxing. She takes you through a toe-to-head focus on relaxing your body, then takes you through four 15-minute meditations. The music is soft with out being too much or overly corny, and the sound effects (ocean waves are one) are equally subtle but effective. I haven't fit meditation into my life much but this tape I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore meditation, or who just needs a tool during stressful times to relax, reflect, or sleep.
