Reassuring guidance for your own journey into the possible... 2010-09-27

Reviewer: Debra Kalscheur

If you are new to meditation, find it challenging to stay in meditation, or are simply looking for an excellent meditation resource, I would strongly recommend "Journey into Meditation". The cd includes three amazing visual meditations, each different, but each having a distinct purpose. The "Mystic Waterfall" is a great introduction or return journey into the chakras and effectively creates a space of healing/clearing. The second, "Inner Wisdom" reinforces the connection to our inner guidance/teachers and reminds us of this always-accessible resource. Finally, "Life Visualization" sets the stage for calling into your life what your heart/soul most truly desires to experience and/or manifest. All three are around 20 minutes each, perfect for choosing the one needed most that day or listening to all three consecutively. Lisa's calm and reassuring voice is a gentle reminder that we, ourselves hold the key to creating a happy/healthy life.

I started listening to this every morning, before I go to work. I learned to find my inner peace and stay calm throughout the day with it. Lisa's voice is very soothing, and her technique is very effective. Give it a try, I highly recommend this piece.

Lisa has a very soothing voice and a great imagination. The music is great and helps you reach a relaxed state. This set comes with 3 guided meditations, and I like everyone of them.

The first meditation, mystic waterfall, seems to assume you already have a basic grasp of what your Chakras are. If you don't know what Chakras are, you may want to read about them on Wikipedia before you begin. The next meditation is about seeking your own inner wisdom. This is very important because we already know most things we seek answers to. The difficult part is clearing out all the other junk on our minds in order to get that much needed answer. The third meditation, life visualization, helps you see what you truly desire in life. It's hard to set goals for your life if you can't even imagine in your mind what you would like to achieve. Lisa helps you visualize those things that you might not even know you desire.

The only complaint I have is this (and this is just personal preference); I feel the meditations are slightly rushed. Lisa will say something like (I'm paraphrasing here), "you see a bridge" and then immediately after, "and as you cross this bridge". Also, on the "Inner Wisdom" meditation, our spiritual guide hands us an important box, but we're only given a few seconds to look inside and see what wonderful things are in there. Personally, I like to be lead a little slower. On all 3 meditations, the imagery is thrown at you pretty quickly, without giving you much time to prepare.

Also, Lisa does a wonderful job of presenting a magical place; only to have us leave after a short while. I would like to stay in these places much longer. At the very least, I would like to have more time to visualize things and to think about their meaning.

I'm giving it 5 stars anyway, since I still feel that these meditations are great. However, I would only recommend them to folks who are new to meditation. For those who can meditate longer than 20 minutes (or for folks like me who take longer to visualize things...or just want to stay in these special places longer), you may want to look elsewhere. But in reality, considering this set is only $3, I see no reason not to get them anyway.

Peace,
Migzilla

I really enjoy this cd. It is excellent for centering and chakra balancing. I especially like the last meditation where you can create your own life. Many times I have found things that I envision occur very soon after I have meditated on them. Very amazing!

I like the meditations and her voice - I'm not having any amazing revelations with them, though. These days I'm looking for more of a guided journey. There are a few minutes of getting you into a place and then you stay there - nothing new really develops, so that's disappointing - you stand in a waterfall the whole time or you watch a screen the whole time and visualize your life in the future. I would rather things be suggested to me - openings that I can fill in - such as finding a box and opening it - what's inside is what you fill in, that sort of thing. I've listed to so many CDs that they all seem to be the same to me at this point. I'm sure I'll listen to it many times, but probably not on a regular basis.
