MEDITATION FOR CHILDREN

Patrice Thomas

This delightful, easy to use CD gives parents, teachers and carers a simple and effective way to introduce the regular pratice of relaxation to children by resting, calming and rejuvenating their bodies, minds and spirits.

The meditation stories have been successfully used in day care centres, preschools and primary schools as the imagery and fantasy on each track appeals to children’s sense of wonder. Using the breath and lying still whilst listening to a meditation story accompanied by gentle music, children from 3 years through to early teens can learn how to soothe and calm themselves. These benefits can be transferred when they feel upset, angry or “out of sorts”. Perfect to use at home, school or in childcare settings to help children become more resilient, competent, calm and positive in facing the challenges of an increasingly stressful world.

Guided Meditations for Busy People Bodhipaksha CD

If you feel the need to learn meditation but the idea of finding 30 or 40 minutes to meditate is itself stressful, this CD is for you. Short "power meditations" such as these - between three and nine minutes in length - can be highly beneficial for busy people.

Each practice teaches a specific and powerful technique for quickly transforming the mind, encouraging the rapid development of calmness, spaciousness, and relaxation.

Guided Meditations for Stress Reduction - Bodhipaksha CD

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. Mindfulness is a form of awareness which emphasizes equanimous acceptance and a sense of kindly curiosity.

This exercise is a meditation on acceptance, where we practice the art of welcoming, rather than resisting, uncomfortable experiences in order to change our relationship to them and become freer of our usual habitual reactions of avoidance, fear, stress, and depression.

Mindfulness of Breathing

Managing Pain, Illness, & Stress with Guided Mindfulness Meditation

by Vidyamala

"Mindfulness of Breathing," uses the dynamic of the breath to help us become aware of the physical sensations of the breathing as the air flows in and out of the body. With this practice the mind gradually becomes quieter and the listener experiences greater contentment.

In 2001, Vidyamala began teaching mindfulness-based approaches to others living with physical pain and illness. She first produced her CD’s, which she co-leads with her partner and fellow meditation teacher Sona, as a support for the students attending her pain-management classes. One former pain-reduction student, writer and journalist Olga Kenyon, says that Vidyamala’s teaching has helped her through years of chronic pain, and has allowed her to transform her thinking so that she can now face life and even be cheerful in the face of her debilitating bone condition. Jan Sadler, the founder of PainSupport and author of Natural Pain Relief, says that the recordings “Show what a great and deep understanding of chronic pain, and stress” Vidyamala and Sona have.

Vidyamala's approach to pain management is based on the central skill of mindfulness – an ability to be aware, in the moment, and nonjudgmentally, of what you are actually experiencing – and learning to respond creatively. Pain and illness are innately unpleasant experiences and inevitably many of us develop unhelpful habits in reaction such as aversion, avoidance and tension. This just adds to the overall experience of suffering. "Mindfulness can help us break this cycle of reactivity and regain a sense of initiative, confidence and control," says Vidyamala.

We can arrive eventually at a deep acceptance of reality that is the fullness of the heart's wisdom. .

"Four Shakuhachi Meditations" by Andrew MacGregor CD

1. IMAYO (14:36) This origins of this music are rooted in the ancient traditions of Japan and it is today still used in a religious context. This melody is also reminiscent of the Japanese folk song Kuroda Bushi.

2. GRATITUDE (11:09) The arrangement of the Zen shakuhachi piece expressing gratitude, is combined with the sustained sounds of didgeridoo, harmonic singing.

3. BEGINNING (20:29 Two versions of the Zen piece "Shirabe", "Beginning", are combined with a lullaby from Shimabara and cello improvisations to create a scene of deep meditation.

4. MOUNTAIN PASS (18:11) Travellers crossing the mountain pass offered a prayer to the god of the pass for their safe journey. The rich sounds of the clarinet, the earth-rhythms of the clapping stones, and the Japanese lullaby (Itsuki no komoriuta) provide a hypnotic backing to this shakuhachi ceremonial music.
