I am highly disappointed with this CD...not the content, per say, but the set up. Why on earth did they make the whole thing on only one track? My personal CD player does not have a fast forward option (as most personal players do not) so if I want to listen to the Evening Meditation I have to listen through the Introduction and the entitre Morning Meditation first (23 minutes). Another reviewer has said the same thing, if I would have just read the review first I would have spent my money elsewhere. Bernie Siegel is a fine MD, and the content of this CD is fine, but VERY poor design.

This review is from: Meditations for Morning and Evening (Prescriptions for Living) (Audio CD)

Anyone with experience in meditation will need to wade through Dr. Siegal's longwinded explanation of the process for a long while to get to the "morning" segment. The biggest problem, apparently caused from the translation of a tape version to a CD version is that there is no track 1 (Morning) and track 2 (Evening). As such, if you miss pausing track 1 upon completion (ie: fall back asleep), the tape runs all the way through to completion of the "evening" version. So if you want to pick up on "Evening", which should be track 2, you need to hold the fast forward button for about 10 minutes to get there. Not much thought given to this aspect. Other than the major inconvenience of this not being thought through very well by the CD fabricators, the tape seems fine. Not as good as some guided meditations I've listened to, but OK. The inconvenience, however, gets in the way of me making any kind of reasonable review. You have no choice but to "tape" the CD onto a cassette tape, which may cause some loss of sound quality. Should have been better thought out - a mere track 2 for "Evening" would have easily solved the problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Meditation Tape, Not just for cancer patients, December 24, 2003

This is just about the best meditation tape I have ever found. I have been using guided meditation for about 10 years now and it is awesome for picking you up out of a depressing time to steeling anxieties to relieving you from or preparing you for a stressful day. Bernie's soothing voice glides at just the right speed to bring you onto some of the deepest meditations I have ever been in. Some of the visuals he helps you create makes you want to stay forever. Bernie uses so many different visualizations everyone is bound to have a favorite part and find something they truly love. While Bernie's tapes are normally made for cancer patients this one is truly for everyone. Buy this and I promis you will not be sorry.
