Rating:  - The Soul Of Healing Meditations by Deepak Chopra
This is a gentle meditation that anyone can do to start out... stating with a smile... (on the back of the CD) that No experience is necessary. Requires no incense,no concentration, no painful sitting positions, no saffron robes, chanting optional. Requires only your Self. Enquire within. I smiled...the perfect place...the inner space...the Self. Being alone with no distractions will bring the most awareness and enhance the quided meditations. On a soft rug, like a flying carpet, (smile) in a softly lighted room. Concentrating on breathing seemed easy to do this evening as the days energy slowly winds down. You must have enough time so you can relax through this first 5 minutes which seemed like it was going to be forever...but it wasn't. The heart awareness was gentle and pleasing. Body awareness...mostly I was non-existent except for one small area that insisted on being present the whole time. The heart sutras were relaxing and made me smile. Evoking the gods of Healing...the first time I wasn't so sure about this part...this time is was ok and I had read the liner notes that explained that these gods and goddesses were aspects of our own souls that connect to the collective soul...always only going inside to find my answers I embraced this meditaion this time. Inviting the Spirit of Healing..of course, we all want to be a part of the healing process and this was pleasant. Banishing disease everywhere...this was great...I really believe its possible. All but one area responded and I'll have to dig deep inside my psyche to see what's going on here. Knowing without a doubt that our mind/body connection is absolutely interconnected. Ode to Solomon was beautiful and always we want to be filled to overflowing with love to share. I became one with the meditation and the experience was intense.
Impossible to open your eyes slowly after only a few moments...I wish to remain in bliss.
Rating: - Deeply relaxing
This is a beautiful CD that it deeply relaxing to listen to. it begins with breathing meditation, moves on to gratitude and forgiveness, and then total body awareness. After you are very relaxed Deepok begins some healing hymns from his Eastern tradition which I believe is Hindu but I am not sure. It is very haunting and restful, invoking healing in all parts of the body. The cd ends with the Song of Solomon which is one of the most beautiful passages in the Old Testament. I cannot recommend this more highly for someone who wants to relax in a very positive way at the end of the day or someone coping with pain either physical or spiritual.
Rating:  - Relaxing and Useful
I'm new to the area of meditation, so when I picked up this CD I was skeptical. To my pleasent surprise, this CD was not only helpful, but has become extremely useful in my daily meditation ritual. The CD playing time is around 45 minutes and takes you from listening to you breathing to listening to your heart to forgiving others to healing yourself. It is very relaxing and if you concentrate and work at it you can heal youself of all your troubles and problems. It is truly amazing what the body can do given the proper chance to do it. If your new into meditation, or just looking for a change in your daily routine, try this one. I'm glad I did and use it on a daily basis.
