5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful meditation guide for those starting out., 25 Aug 2006
This review is from: Meditation for Beginners (Hardcover)
This is my favourite of all the meditation audio I've heard. The production of the accompanying book is very good and on the cd Jack's voice is welcoming, friendly and conducive to helping you feel unthreatened and relaxed.

The occasional low sounds from other class members do not distract but actually give you the impression you are in a real meditation class. In particular - as a beginner I like the fact that these meditations are quite short - they don't overwhelm you or make you feel like a failure if you can't complete one - because you *can* easily complete one.

I found it an excellent beginners tool and will definitely use more of Jack Kornfields meditation aids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meditation for Beginners, 23 Oct 2008
By Adam (England) - See all my reviews
I had been doing Shamatha meditation for about 9 months and wanted to learn a little about Vipassana meditation. I bought a number of books and also the expensive "Insight Meditation Kit" by Sharon Salzberg & Joseph Goldstein. But I have to say this book & CD by Jack Kornfield is the very best of them all for me. It is simple, straight-forward and gets you doing Insight meditation quickly. The Insight Kit I mentioned above I found confusing and complicated and, at times, contradictory. It would ask you not to hurl a lot of questions at what you were experiencing. Then in the next sentence it would say things like "How does this experience make you feel? What colour is it? Does it get smaller or bigger as you stay with it?" etc etc But this excellent little book and CD combo is cheaper and in my opinion better, especially if you are, like me, a beginer. I didn't like the CD in the Insight Kit and didn't use it at all after my first attempts. But Jack Kornfield's CD here is very user friendly and together with the book will have you practising Insight Meditation in no time at all. Highly recommended.
