BEGINNER'S MIND

Whether you are just beginning to meditate, or you want to go further with your meditation practice, something in these tapes will appeal to you. Jack Kornfield introduces us to the basics of breathing, posture, distractions, etc, and then guides us through a basic meditation. Sharon Salzberg introduces us to the classical metta, or loving kindness meditation, and then guides us through a few various forms. Perhaps the most interesting part for those who are athletes or just trying to keep fit is Shinzen Young's "Meditation in the Zone." This ancient art enables those working out to enhance their performance by bringing classic centering practices into their workout. All three presenters are experienced teachers of Buddhist meditation; guided meditations and appropriate music accompany their discussions.
