PERSONAL MEDITATIONS

This collection of six meditations is standard fare. Rick Kleit's narration is deep and soothing, almost as if it's in slow motion at times. The simple directions for meditation are very basic. Each segment is relatively short, and the narration moves between them smoothly, for the most part, but periodically makes an abrupt shift that is disruptive. The musical accompaniment, pedestrian new age music, is much the same throughout. The final track is music only with no narration. For those who are looking for an audio presentation on basic meditation, this is adequate, but not inspiring. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2008]
