Meditation: Achieving Inner Peace and Tranquility In Your Life Paperback – January 5, 2015

I've had the book/CD for years. I don't recall what's in the book at all, to be honest, because I've used it primarily for the CD which is a guided meditation/visualization. That said, the meditation is just terrific. In it, Dr Weiss guides the listener into a deep state of relaxation which is very soothing, very healing. The meditation/visualization is free from religious suggestion or implication. Therefore, a person of faith can easily incorporate this into their own tradition because the 'visualization' aspect allows you to envision yourself with another. That other, could, for a Christian, be Jesus or the holy spirit; For a Buddhist it could be Green Tara and so on... it's up to the listener. Likewise for a secular person, there need not be any religious suggestion whatsoever. Unlike some meditations/visualizations which tend to get a little new-agey, this one is generally free from a lot of the new-age hokum. The visualization is primarily on light and breathing. There are no chakras or little green elves, or whatever. So, it's a great meditation for all to use and enjoy.

I am not quite sure how to rate this item. Probably I expected too much out of this little book, based on the positive reviews posted here.I agree with the majority of the reviewers that the cd accompanying the book is a wonderfully guided meditation. However, the content of the book disappoints me a bit. Basically, it can be summed up in one sentence: "To meditate, just sit and close your eyes, focus on your breathing and relax". I was expecting a bit more, but maybe meditation just is that simple. For me it is just too simplistic. It includes some references to past life memories and meditation experiences of the author but I didn't find it very practical but rather too general.But then again, as I said earlier, it all depends where you come from, what your experience with spirituality and/or meditation is and what your expectations are.I was probably expecting too much from this small book. It's not bad, especially the cd is helpful, but don't expect too much. I guess there are better books on meditation out there.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this small book as well as many other by Brian Weiss. This book according to many of the reviews is a beginner introduction into meditation and the CD at the back of the book was very helpful in learning the basic steps on meditation. The books was exactly as described, the shipping was received by the due date indicated and I would recommend and purchase from seller again.

It comes with CD, it's make me calm.

I haven't taken the time to read the book, but absolutely LOVE the digital download. Works great!

Great

Birian weis s Us a good author

Great for a beginner mediator, awesome if you are a Dr. Weiss fan. Easy to read, takes the mystery out of meditation and makes it's easy for the beginner to start immediately. The CD is a little short, could be extended. A must buy for any and all Dr. Weiss fans. He brings true fascinating stories to life and gives meaning to questions many of us have or had.

I have been struggling to get to grips with independent meditation, and was a little dubious about buying a guided one. Well, you never know whose voice is going to be talking to you, and I'm not a fan of those cheesy American ones (sorry if I offend!) Anyway, this is an American one, but it came recommend and with it's very simple language, soothing tones and great guidance, I found it thoroughly relaxing. Was gutted when he began to count me back into reality to be honest. The book is a bonus! Thankyou Mr.W!

Excellent book and CD. Dr Weiss really knows his stuff & as a Professor you know you can trust him 😍

A good product though expensive
