Mindfulness

Deep, wonderful. By an American, who has translated Buddhism across the cultural differences, making meditation practice accessible to westerners. Go see Spirit Rock mediation center.

This is a great tool

I lead a pretty stressful life and it was Jake's books that introduced me to meditation. I would recommend this book to anyone beginner or advanced.

Blown away!

I never realized my personal meditation journey was developing in phases until I came across this perfect tool. Having gone through serious trauma releasing meditations, I was in the what now phase. What now led me to find this gem. Guiding me into allowing loving kindness to flow freely. Everyone’s journey is absolutely unique and this allows just that, the space. Thank you ❤️

These meditations have been extremely beneficial for my own personal practice. I find it so easy to put on these meditations and get to business. I will listen again and again.

A loud tape hiss throughout

Jack Kornfield is, of course, excellent but there is a very loud tape hiss in the recording. It sounds like you’re listening to it in the shower. This could easily be removed using one of several techniques but apparently that would have required work. With a Dolby recording they remove hiss by increasing the volume of the highs and then reducing the volume of that part of the spectrum on playback. This may have been the case but when transferring the recording to digital they neglected to deal with that. Too bad.
