Love it!

I have really enjoyed this journey so far. I have not finished the book yet but the teachings reitorate much of what I have learned in other forums recently. I love that in the first meditation on the CD, Sharon tells us that getting distracted and coming back IS the practice. We have all struggled with the wandering mind during meditation and I like that she tells us it's OK...

This book has struck a chord with me in many ways. Lesson one talks of being "disconnected" with the world having been "lost in the shadow of our conditioning." How often do we feel like we are just going through the motions or living in a dream instead of actually experiencing life and feeling awake? I also like that they encourage all people to meditate- although it derives from Asia; Christians, Atheists, and Wiccans can get just as much out of this as Buddhists and Hindus.

Stop judging others, stop judging ourselves, just experience the moment and connect with it, be a part of it.

A good, simple and very comprehensive introduction to Meditation.

This kit, a book, 2 CDs and 3 "reminder cards" is almost perfect for someone who wants to learn or try meditating. I have bought this for at least 5 different people as a gift. Those who use it have had major changes in their lives from learning meditation. I teach a small meditation class and recommend this to all people who attend. Beginners and experienced alike. I have bought 100 or more "self help" books, programs, tapes, CDs, etc. This is the most effective of them all and incredibly inexpensive. This has been my experience.

Great Value

I highly recommend this! Why? The information is first rate and accessible. The packaging is of high quality, great care was made in its presentation. The CDs are a great added feature which can be downloaded into an iPod for easy use. All for $19.00, I bought it at Borders for $30, buy it here and save.

A good introductory meditation series

There are many things I liked about this guided meditation series. I particularly liked the way the walking meditation was presented. I haven't heard this explained very well on other audio resources, so this was a value add for me.

While I think the whole overall presentation is good and worth owning, especially at the price it is being offered, I do think there are a few shortcomings. For example, while the authors are well versed in their topic, they don't necessarily have the greatest voices for this type of recording. That may sound superficial, but this does make a difference for many people. Some of the volume control at different points in the recording were a bit jarring to me as well.

If you are new to Insight Meditation, you will find this a useful guide. If you are looking for a bit more depth, then consider reading Breath by Breath by Rosenberg. This helps flesh out some of the detail of what is presented in this series.

I gave this a four rather than a five larely because of the icing and not the cake. In other words, I think they could have presented their material better. However, this is solid and I think you can buy it with confidence for an introduction to meditation.
