Guided Meditations for Stress Reduction

Guided Meditations for Stress Reduction

• The first of these gentle exercises is a deep relaxation meditation called a “body scan”, where the attention is systematically guided around the body in order to bring about progressive relaxation.
• The second meditation emphasizes developing a mindful attitude towards our experience.
• The practices are guided by Bodhipaksa, a highly experienced meditation teacher with a soothing Scottish lilt.

Product Description: Mindfulness has been shown in clinical trials to be an effective way of reducing stress. It is a form of focused awareness that helps to prevent the runaway thinking that gives rise to physical and emotional hyper-arousal. The two meditations on this CD help us to develop this transformative quality of mindfulness, by means of which we practice acceptance of our present-moment experience in a non-judgmental way. <P>Although the meditations on this CD are Buddhist in origin, they can be practiced by people who follow any spiritual tradition or none at all.
