In need of inner calm? Want to feel more at peace with yourself and others? Ideal for beginners to meditation, this audiobook will guide you through the most fundamental Buddhist meditation practices.

This is a practical and yet inspiring guide to working with your mind in order to developing inner and outer harmony. There's no new-age music or nature sounds on this audiobook, which takes a solidly traditional approach to the teaching of these ancient techniques - just Bodhipaksa's gentle voice guiding you as you learn to work creatively with your own mind.

This title teaches three key practices. The Mindfulness of Breathing will help you to develop more calmness and peace of mind through paying attention to the breath; the Development of Loving-kindness will help you to develop a more positive attitude to yourself and others; and the practice of Walking Meditation is a powerful method of bringing awareness into daily life.

Want peace? Get this!

Bodhi Paksa's calming voice transmits such tranquility, serenity and kindness, that I feel deeply affected (in the best way..) every time I listen to it. He has the ability to guide me into deep relaxation, acceptance and peace, and he transmit his message in a way that it appears new and fresh and moving every time. I am so happy I got this!!!! It helps me alot. THANK YOU BODHI PAKSA :D

very peaceful

A geat guided meditation, with the narrator, and no background music, so quite different to other guided meditations. He has a soothing voice and I like the structure of the meditation, as the first one is about loving kindness to yourself, someone you care about, a neutral person, and someone that you are not so fond of, then bringing it all together at the end. I find it quite a powerful meditation, good to not just focus on oneself. The second meditation is a walking meditation, which is also teaching mindfulness and being in the present moment.

Best Guided Meditation I've Heard

The actual guided meditation on this book is wonderful - the program is well thought out and very effective. The narrator's voice works well with the material.

I've used this program before bed and on plane trips, and it's perfect for relaxing in either setting.

LOVE it!

What made the experience of listening to Guided Meditations the most enjoyable?

I like the fact that there is no music to find yourself liking or disliking. The words are clear, the practice is easy and the results are wonderful.

Great for beginners meditation

Use this multiple times per week. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a meditation guide.

NOT RELAXING

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

People who is new to meditation.

What could Bodhipaksa have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Get a softer soothing voice to narrate the book.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

N/A

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Guided Meditations?

I would add some relaxing sound such as wáter.

Not so good ...

This was the first meditation CD I used that didn't have music in the background, and I was excited to begin. However, I was quickly disappointed. It was very dull. I found myself nodding off to sleep even though I was sitting straight up in a chair.
