Enjoyable and insightful

This was a nice easy beginner’s guide to meditation. The narrator had a soothing voice and told relatable stories.

Really great for deepening my understanding of meditation

I’m not a beginner to meditation, but had many old ideas about it that I’ve brought into my practice for years. I had gotten to a place of stagnation and complacency, so I wanted to search for new meaning and ideas of meditation and I found this audio book. It has revolutionized my thoughts and approach to meditation in a very short time.

$15.00 credit for 2 hrs.

Keep that in mind when paying for these books audible charges $15.00 per credit and some of these are only worth $5.00. I think it’s unfair that we don’t get a little more for our money.

LEARN COMPASSION

Jack Kornfield— A truly wonderful teacher. Learning compassion is the only thing that really matters.
