New CD...Opening the Door to Meditation
I am thrilled to announce availablility of my first CD, Opening
the Door to Meditation.
Thank you to my students who have inspired this CD. I have listened to your ideas and requests for some
shorter mindfulness meditations than ones currently available, which tend to run about 45 minutes. Opening
the Door to Meditation includes four meditations that are each approximately 20 minutes:- Breath/Body Awareness (similar to the body scan meditation we use in the mindfulness based stress reduction
program)
- Walking Meditation
- Music Meditation
- Loving Kindness or Metta meditation
The meditations can be combined to increase
meditation time or used as stand alone relaxation/meditations.
What makes this CD so special and unique is my collaboration with musician Louis Arnold. He
is a practicing meditator and an accomplished guitarist. Louis has composed the music specifically
for this CD to allow you to deepen your meditation experience, not distract from it.
On composing the music to accompany spoken meditations, Louis states, "The music that is offered in this collaboration
with Pam is intended to support the experience of meditation which leads to inner calm, strength and happiness. The music
is not meant to have you breathe or walk in tempo; rather it is made to support the meditative state of your breath or walking
motion at any point in time."
Whether you are an "experienced"
meditator (remember, we are all beginners!) or simply want to try meditating for the first time, I hope you will find
a welcome respite from your busy day in Opening the Door to Meditation.
