I got this book after reading "Many Lives, Many Masters" by Brian Weiss. This is a very short book. It contains some discussion related to "Many Lives, Many Masters" and then goes on to describe some of the author's experiences with meditation and the general benefits of meditation. The best part of the book is a CD that contains a 20 minute guided relaxation/meditation exercise. I have used that CD fairly regularly for almost 10 months now. It's been a very effective relaxation tool.

If you enjoyed the book "Many Lives, Many Masters" then you will welcome this book with open arms. Brian Weiss gives an insightful look at a meditation and how it can improve our daily lives. Meditating keeps one calm and focused, giving us the ability to handle our daily challenges with ease and comfort. If you would like your life to be smoother and healthier, then pick this book up and start meditating!

This is an excellent book for beginners as it gives so much help in obtaining a relaxed state of mind and this in turn helps to achieve a good meditation. After using the CD in conjunction with the book I have already seen a vast difference in my Meditation Group for beginners and so I would certainly recommend it.

I am not quite sure how to rate this item. Probably I expected too much out of this little book, based on the positive reviews posted here.
I agree with the majority of the reviewers that the cd accompanying the book is a wonderfully guided meditation. However, the content of the book disappoints me a bit. Basically, it can be summed up in one sentence: "To meditate, just sit and close your eyes, focus on your breathing and relax". I was expecting a bit more, but maybe meditation just is that simple. For me it is just too simplistic. It includes some references to past life memories and meditation experiences of the author but I didn't find it very practical but rather too general.

But then again, as I said earlier, it all depends where you come from, what your experience with spirituality and/or meditation is and what your expectations are.

I was probably expecting too much from this small book. It's not bad, especially the cd is helpful, but don't expect too much. I guess there are better books on meditation out there.

After having trouble falling asleep for quite some time, I started listening to this CD. Now, I generally fall asleep before it's even over.

This cd is perfect for the beginning meditator. He takes you to your inner space brillantly. I look forward to my 20 minutes a day with myself!

Very good for beginners trying to learn good meditation practices.

It was wonderful. It teaches you how to meditate. I tell my patients about it to help reduce stress.

This is a winning combination! The book is beautiful and insightful while the CD is very relaxing. I listen to it very often.

i found the book to be good, but the best part is the cd...its a 20 minute meditation guided by Brian Weiss...i hear it everyday and its made a big difference for me....once again, it is, at least for me, the cd that makes the book worth buying
