Not Really Relaxing..........2007-02-21

I really enjoyed some of Kathy Freston's other CDs and thought I would feel the same about this one, but I have to say it is not of the same quality.
She talks really fast and in a very monotone voice which is not at all condusive to meditation. Maybe the producers thought the fast pace would sound more motivational, but it's just annoying.
There is good material here (which is why I rated 2 stars) but the delivery is very poor.

No Magic Here - Save Your Money.......2006-12-21

I bought this CD based on the stellar reviews (and despite the fact that it is HUGELY overpriced - a 20 minute CD should cost no more than $7-8 dollars. Or there better be bonus material!) and was very disappointed for many reasons. Kathy Freston writes a great book, but she doesn't know how to make a meditation CD. I've been listening to meditations for over 10 years now (back when they were on tape!) and so feel that I can comment on what usually works. Firstly, Freston has a lovely voice, but she 1) talks like she's reading from a script - very quickly - and with little or no intonation. Her near monotone is hard to take - especially when she says: "Prepare for a a Miracle" in a very deadpan manner and then rushes into the next idea so you can't take that in. I just couldn't get over the monotone - it was almost rushed, with no enthusiasm. A real surprise. And talking too fast is NOT relaxing; it forces the listener to work harder to keep up. It provides no opportunity for the listener to absorb what's being said and allow their own images and feelings to appear. 2) she also talks through 99% of the CD, which, again, leaves little or no room for silent reflection or for answers to the questions she asks to pop into one's mind. She jumps right in and offers answers of her own, as well as expository information that is best left for the introduction to the meditation, not the meditation itself. The constant chatter stands in for our own Monkey Mind, which we're supposed to be getting away from! In her defense, I'll say that this seems to be a trend these days - those leading the meditations seem to love the sound of their own voice and talk constantly, leaving no gaps for silence, which is very important to have in meditation. Those guiding the meditation seem to forget there is a listener who, as in any 'conversation,' deserves their time to 'speak.' In our case we, as the one being guided, should be given regular pauses to silently fill in our side of the conversation with whatever rises up into our minds to be processed or to inspire us. Otherwise, it's very much one-sided. 3) the music is often SO loud, it starts to eclipse her voice and I had to struggle to pick out what she was saying. Again, not very relaxing. It's too bad, because she has some great ideas and visuals in this meditation, but she doesn't create a quiet, restful, relaxing environment in which to process and experience them. If you want a good meditation, try those by Mary Maddux, who also does ALOT of talking, but has a soothing, quiet voice - she speaks slowly, with inflection, and the music is very much in the background. Otherwise, save your money, or use this as merely an informational CD. Perhaps rerecord the meditation in your own voice, at your own speed, and listen to it that way.

Message keeps you focused.......2005-05-23

Kathy's voice, the music and the script blend together to make a wonderful meditation tape. She speaks throughtout the tape which I have learned to love. This helps keep my ADD mind focused and gives the meditation an intent. Other Meditations attempt to train you to empty your mind. Kathy guides you to relax and then foucs on your spirt and what you truly want and then encourages images that intensify your intention. I feel her method keeps me very focused and it stays with me all day.

Best Meditation CD.......2004-07-27

I've tried quite a few, and though all have something good to offer (any attempt at meditation is a good start), I find Kathy's CDs to be most productive. I don't know what it is ~ her voice, the music mix, carefully chosen words ~ but I respond to Kathy quickly and easily, making the time I set aside for meditation more efficient. She comes across like a spiritual friend, gently guiding your intention to work in your favor. Once you learn to stop sabotaging yourself, you discover how powerful intent truly is.

I try others, yet always come back to Kathy's CDs. That says something.

this keeps me honest.......2002-06-05

I did work from the other cd meditations and keep it fresh with a meditation every day. I think this cd is an excellent way to remain consistent with the important breakthroughs you can achieve with the others. It makes me feel like beginning each day with a smile!

It is a process by which you change energy, first from the inside, thus transforming your entire experience of reality. By giving 20 minutes a day to the process, for 30 days of focused attention on your goal, a shift will occur and a miracle can begin to unfold! Kathy Freston's Transformational Meditation CDs bring results-oriented guided meditations designed for both the newcomer and longtime practitioner. Through step-by-step voice instruction and the powerful tool of Sensory Imaging, Kathy brings the listener to a place of openness from which change can occur.

If we change our deeply held beliefs and thought patterns, we then act accordingly, attracting the positive and healthy attributes and circumstances we want in our lives. In these 20 minute guided meditations, you will begin to manifest success in various areas of your life. When the soul is ready, all obstacles fall away leaving us free to transform ourselves into who we were meant to be.
