EVERYDAY MEDITATION A Mini-Retreat to Calm the Mind & Nourish the Soul

Though less than an hour long, this meditation guide not only relaxes, but also creates an enduring residue of calmness, in part through Krs Edstrom's voice. The program guides listeners through muscle relaxation and emotional letting-go, and for that purpose Edstrom’s imagery is both appealing and effective. While being directed to loosen one muscle group after the other, listeners hear enough references to the mind-body connection and the personal change process to satisfy even those who have trouble taming their intellects into submission. Between these ideas, the various counting-down relaxation maneuvers, and the tastefully placed music, this a program that people at all levels of constriction or overactivity will be able to warm up to.
