Recommended CD set: Learn meditation in less than 1 hour with this CD!

Many of us think of meditation and mindfulness as a long and complex art that involves hours of sitting down and doing nothing!  Nothing can be farther from the truth - John Kabat Zinn and Andrew Weil give a great introduction to meditation in this two part CD. Here are two testimonials from Amazon.com for this CD set. This CD set is only $16.47 now (regular price is $25.00)

This is a solid introduction to the practice of meditation. The first disc features Weil and Kabat-Zinn giving background information about meditation. The second disc features guided meditations. Like any spiritual practice, the more information an individual gets, the better he or she becomes at that practice. This set of discs is a good starting point that will get a person going into meditation immediately, which might lead the listener to pursue additional materials about spirituality.

Anyone who is looking for a way to relax, and to just get the basic rundown of what meditation is all about, this recording will give you just that. Sit for awhile and listen to Dr. Weil’s kind voice and that alone will have you feeling relaxed. John Kabat-Zinn is a little odd, I really respect his vast knowledge and practical advice, but his take on things seems a bit surreal. I recommend this for anyone who is in need of a practical, if basic guide to meditation.
