- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very Simple and useful meditation for beginners as well as intermediaries.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5good place to start for beginners, learn some new technique that I didn't knew. goodluck everyone, hope you all taste blissful after this.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5waow a great book for those who want to learn how to meditate.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A nice, short treatment of mindfulness and a little guided meditation.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I use this audiobook frequently and to significant effect for help with my head, neck and facial pain. Particularly the first two meditations. The slow(ish) body scan, with particular attention to detail with the head, is very helpful. I only wish it were even slower so I wouldn't need to rewind and play catchup.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I knew I was in for a treat, thank you for a very pleasant experience.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Varieties of Meditative Experience was published by Daniel Goleman in 1977, and repackaged in 1996 as The Meditative Mind: The Varieties of Meditative Experience. An updated and expanded digital version was published in 2012, adding a new 4th section on The Psychology of Meditation, but removing chapters on Gurdjieff and Krishnamurti. I’d suggest reading both the initial edition (Varieties) and the updated ebook version of The Meditative Mind. An excellent compendium either way.
