MEDITATIONS

Shakti Gawain has published a wide range of written materials, but this really is a superior format in which to encounter her work. The program features smoothly delivered lectures addressing creativity and the inner male and female, but the real draw is the meditations. Gawain's firm but gentle voice guides listeners through a sequence of visualizations. Her pacing is superior; lots of time is left for listeners to explore the images arising from their depths. The closest thing to a weakness in the production is the music, which is louder than need be. Otherwise, those interested in self-exploration will find this useful. G.T.B.
