It Took Me Into Another World!
This tape was not like other relaxation tapes, at least for me. When I listened to it, I was put into such a state of awareness that the exercises in visualization made me cry. You may think that sounds crazy, and I guess it is. But, the "world" that it put me into is one that felt real enough to touch. So, I would recommend this tape to anyone, as crazy as this review may sound. Get the tape. As a spirit on this Earth, you need it.

A must for your meditation library
This one is great. I love it, and so does my family. We enjoy the sweet monotone of the author as she leads you through the woods, around the streams, etc. The music behind her is especially soothing. I have used it many times to calm babies and put myself to sleep as I suffer from insomnia. I dont think anyone would be disappointed in this purchase, although I dont think I would recommend the second tape as it just didnt have the same effect. If you were to only have 1 meditation tape, this would be the one to have.
I have been using this recording in one form or another for several years. Our latest form has been audible.com which I would recommend as well...check it out!

Relax...
This was the first book/tape I purchased on meditation, and having purchased numerous others since, I keep coming back to this one and wish it were available on CD. It contains 4 15-minute meditations, each building on the one before it, and all are incredibly relaxing, and great for beginners as well as the advanced. Salle Merrill Redfield's voice is very soothing, as are the simple, comforting images she presents. Wonderful after a stress-filled day at work or when trying to relax before bedtime. I would highly recommend The Joy of Meditating to anyone interested in meditation and easing away tension in their life.
