Review
A friend who is bed-bound with severe back pain told me that these CDs were "the best." -- Marlene Eltschig, Germany

Product Description
The Mindfulness of Breathing practice helps us develop awareness of our experience in greater detail. By resting in a responsive space between suppressing our experience of pain or illness on the one hand, and over-identifying with it on the other, we can learn to make choices as to how we respond to our moment-by-moment experience.

The CD introduces two different approaches to this practice, helping us to develop "moments of awareness" which help free us from stress.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mindfulness of Breathing Meditation, December 13, 2005

By	Jan Sadler "Jan Sadler, www.painsupport.co.uk" (UK) - See all my reviews

The Mindfulness of Breathing recording uses focusing on the breath to bring peace and stillness to the body, releasing pain and tension. It helps us to 'come into the present moment', thus releasing the past and the future. I found Vidyamala's voice, in particular, full of compassion, gentleness and understanding, helping to enter a deep state of wellbeing and relaxation. The speed she moves throughout the meditation is just right, not too fast, not too slow. The recording shows what a great and deep understanding the speakers have of the body and the mind. I am sure this recording will help many others, from complete beginners to those with more experience, to make profound differences to their lives. I strongly recommend this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars This really works, January 19, 2006

By	John Fletcher (Merseyside UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a long standing back injury and have tried many many treatments from all sorts of disciplines. This mindfulness approach is the most effective thing I have ever done for my back pain. It is somehow ironic that switching from trying to treat or fix the pain to just living with it and managing it is what has worked, but there you are.... I really enjoy the slowing down that this CD brings for me. I got the benefits by using the CD over time so this is not a quick fix. But it does work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST, January 8, 2006

By	A. Plummer (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CD has really helped me develop more awareness in my life. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a stressful job, as it can help you bring more spaciousness and calmness into the way you relate to the demands of the job. I know this from experience having worked as nurse, and now as a psychologist for a number of years. At the same time I can recommend this CD to both those who are new to meditation as well as those who are more experienced. Highly recommended!
