Customer Reviews

Excellent Guided Meditation
Rivka's Creating Calm is simply one of the best guided meditation CD's available. Rivka's voice, her material and the pacing of her meditation is perfect for doing just what this CD says it will do -- create calm in your life. Unencumbered and undistracted by the usual new-age background music (tinkly bells, soft choruses or sitar riffs) Rivka leads you simply and directly to that calm, still point that is the door to your true self. I especially liked the tracks "Short, Simple Meditations" and "Excellent for Beginners." The first removes the barrier of "I don't have enough time" and the second dissolves the problems of "It's too complicated or scary to be with myself." Very nice, refreshing and different, work.

You've got to be kidding!
I bought this CD based on these reviews. These must have been friends of this author because this CD has to be the worst meditation CD I have ever had. The first half is repetitious basically talking about watching your breathe and following it. Nothing else! The second part is no better. Let me just say, I don't write reviews and for me to write this review means it was a terrible CD.

meditation is deeply personal
i read the conflicting reviews of this CD and realized that different people want different things from a meditation CD. i chose this one. i personally find music distracting, so the fact that i can focus solely on a calm voice helps me get into that really relaxed place. i've also done plenty of meditation in yoga and writing classes where i was guided into a forest or cave or whatever... i really like that in these meditations i'm focusing on relaxing my mind and body without traveling all over. these are simple, straight-forward, short trips to a deeply relaxed place. works for me!!!
