Good for Beginning Meditators...and Others October 13, 2008
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Although I have been practicing meditation for decades, I still find it helpful to listen to guided meditations occassionally, and have a number of instructive CDs by various teachers. This CD set is an excellent addition to my library, one I will return to often.
First of all, Kim Eng has the perfect voice for guided meditation. It is smooth, calm yet alert; she articulates each word with fluidity, effortlessly, and uses pauses naturally with perfect timing. Often meditation speakers attempt to be too slow or too relaxed; not so here. Ms. Eng is a gifted speaker.
The material presented is extensive. The "meditation on the breath" is the foundation of Ms. Eng's meditation techniques and is a common meditative method. Preceded by brief introductions by Ms. Eng and Eckhart Tolle, this is the first one on CD #1. This guided meditation is mostly helpful for 'beginner level' meditators, or those who have been using a different meditative technique (such as mantra, conceptual, chanting, etc.). Next, Kim guides one effectively and thoroughly through an "inner body meditation," which will be helpful to beginners as well as more experienced meditators. Unique to Eckhart Tolle's teaching is Ms. Eng's "a meditation for dissolving the pain body." As Tolle readers know, the pain body is a unique and important concept of his teachings and something that many have grappled with for understanding. My only criticism with Ms. Eng's presentation is here, where she attempts to explain Tolle's teaching on this subject; her attempt feels slightly awkward. But that doesn't impact or spoil the meditation in any major way, and listeners/meditators will no doubt find this meditation useful in expanding upon their understanding of the concept.
There are ten mini-meditations that one can use on the fly day in and day out and are extremely helpful. The meditation on nature is wonderful, and will help the listener/meditator experience the outdoors in new ways.
This is a very worthwhile CD set, especially for the beginning meditator, and those who are Eckhart Tolle devotees. Even the experienced meditator will find material of value herein.
A Huge Aid for Staying Present October 13, 2008

The two CDs are great. Kim's voice is smooth and calm- very enjoyable to listen to. I think the mini-meditations have helped me the most - just to remember to stay present in all things. Also, the meditation that deals with the pain-body is very good. I highly recommend Meditations for a New Earth for anyone who needs help in accessing the NOW.
