Calming and educational

I felt like I learned so much listening to this. I practiced by sitting quietly through each section, about twenty minutes a night, listening to what she said then following her guided meditations (each one ending with a chime).

Such a great instructional book

This book is teaching me to meditate and that is amazing to me. I love her voice and her methods.

Completely healing

This was amazing and I will use many more times. She is soothing and kind and I felt better- more open- after each practice.

I NEED THIS

I keep coming back to this to bring my mind and heart back to structure and practice. Without this I am bumbling in the wilderness of life. This brings me back to what really matters and my heart and head are now open to give and receive in love and appreciation.

Fucking gorgeous.

This audio book is so comforting, thoughtful, wise. Tara has a beautiful soul. I recommend.

mindfulness a blessing

Tara's calm voice and lovingkindness helped me be more mindful of my own needs, joys, sorrows, and those of others. Learning mindfulness has enriched my life. Tara is skillful in leading meditation.

Wonderful meditations

If you could sum up Mindfulness Meditation in three words, what would they be?

Compassionate, wise, heartful

What did you like best about this story?

Tara Brach has obviously dealt with both meditation and with people who have need of her counseling. The meditations are heartfull as well as mindfull.

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This is a bit silly, as this is not a story but a set of guided meditations, which need someone to read them, which Ms. Brach does well.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The meditations are a comfort and a reminder that mindfulness can change most experiences.

Any additional comments?

For those who found that they couldn't chose a specific meditation, they weren't using the Audible app. The music app on Apple iOS devices is pretty crappy because it doesn't show chapters. The iPod Nano is fine as is iTunes on a computer, but iPhones/Pods/Pads/Touches are lousy that way.

The Audible app not only lets you navigate to specific chapters but place "bookmarks" at any location. As the audiobook separates the different meditations into chapters, this works well. Get the app. I also use the app on my Nexus 5 phone and it works well for that, too.

Relaxes me

Tara Brach addresses every kind of feeling one might have and with her soothing voice and understanding way of speaking enables the listener to let go of any longstanding tension one might have in any part of the body. You are left with a spacious feeling of relaxation.

great!!!

excellent!!!! easy to follow instructions, and great
preface to each meditation. would recommend to beginners as well as long time meditators.

Other meditation books teach you how to meditate, this one walks you through.

Really good. She ends the last few chapters guiding you through different meditations to change different behaviors. I found it calming, therapeutic.
