Mindfulness Meditations for Tranquility and Insight

Thank you. :)

Sorry but this album is not worth the money. there is a background noise of a cat and his voice is not relaxing.

I've been enjoying these guided meditations with Dr. Neale. The practice of mindfulness is a basic aspect of Buddhism that is not always the easiest to put into practice with our hectic lives. These meditations have allowed me to return to the present moment with more frequency and with more attention. Being with the breath, developing compassion and being mindful are some of the many benefits I've experienced from meditating with Dr. Neale.

Every day we experience worry, anxiety, irritation and many other un-peaceful minds. However, the true nature of the mind is clear, peaceful and expansive. I like this album, is beautiful

Inner Splendor presents the first of a series of Guided Buddhist Meditation albums with Dr. Miles Neale, a contemplative psychotherapist and expert on the psychology of meditation. In Mindfulness Meditations for Tranquility and Insight, Dr. Neale introduces the ancient Buddhist practice of mindfulness, used for over millennia to refine awareness and foster introspective learning. Mindfulness has two aims: first, to calm and center the mind from its usual state of distraction and dullness; and second, to develop self-reflective knowledge of negative mental habits including obsession, repulsion and misperception. It is this powerful combination of wakeful tranquility and contemplative insight that leads to lasting freedom and happiness. For those eager to begin a meditation practice of their own, Track 1 offers clear and concise instructions on how to set up and maintain a meditation practice at home. Tracks 2 and 3 provide guided meditations of mindfulness of breathing in brief and longer versions respectively. Track 4 provides ways of transforming difficulties encountered during mindfulness into opportunities for deepening one's practice. Finally, Track 5 offers a guided meditation on the traditional Buddhist framework of the "Four Applications of Mindfulness", to help students further refine the flexibility and precision of their awareness and arrive at new realizations about their own mental processes. This new and exciting album represents years of Dr. Neale's investigation into meditation and psychotherapy and promises to be an important learning tool for those interested in discovering for themselves the transformative power of mindfulness meditation.

I like meditation and I notice that If you keep doing this, eventually thoughts will weaken, your concentration will become stronger and you will have moments of deep mental calm and inner peace. This is very useful practice, This is a lovely album.

This meditation practice is for me very useful for calming and focus the mind, helps the mind become calmer, balanced and positive. The practice of meditation can improve good health and helps to cultivate positive emotional states towards ourselves and others.

Dr. Neale's voice is so calmingly and quietly powerful. This is definitley one of my favorite guided meditation CDs. I also absolutely love the album artwork!! Green Tara is very special.

Having a soothing, guided meditation is paramount to deepen the practice. Dr. Neale's voice is never jarring and allows a calmness to pervade. Thanks for this wonderful resource!

Dr. Neale has created an excellent series of guided mindfulness meditations, extremely well-fitted for both the beginning and intermediate meditators. This series is ideal for the first-time meditator looking for a concise introduction to the millennia-old techniques of classical Tibetan mindfulness, as well as for the more experienced meditators seeking to deepen their practice and refine their discipline. The gentle and deliberate instruction by this knowledgeable teacher is an unusually good contribution to the body of audio meditation guides.
