Book Reviews of Yoga Nidra Meditation CD: Extreme Relaxation of Conscious Deep Sleep
Book Review: Delivers the goods
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend recommended this CD. I do not know the author, either. I have used it daily for the past month and love it. I like the fact that there is only a voice directing me through the meditation, it helps to focus. If I use it a night, I fall asleep immediately and sleep without interruption until morning (unless my cat wants to be let out early). Alternatively, I use it in the late afternoon to relax from the stress of the day, before beginning evening chores. I am a yoga practitioner and have also felt its benefits in my asana practice.Book Review: Worked for me!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had only taken 2 yoga classes and listened to one other relaxation cd before buying this. I am not a friend of the author. I had jetlag from an 11 hour flight and couldn't relax to sleep. I gave my undevoted attention to this CD start to finish wearing noise reduction headphones. I did not fall asleep during the meditation like some reviewers. I DID completely relax, clear my mind of distraction, refresh my body, and experience a physical release of tension that let me fall into sleep 15 minutes later. NO LIE! Be a good listener with desire to learn and you will get something from this meditation.Book Review: Well it must not be too bad...
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got this cd a few days ago. I've listened to it twice already. The second time I fell asleep before Bharati got through the breathing segment and woke myself up snoring. That tells me something. Swami Bharati doesn't try to seduce you with his voice. He simply guides you through the Yoga Nidra experience. I liked that part about it a lot. I don't know much about Yoga Nidra, I am learning. I have practiced some meditaton exercises, like the candlelight meditation, but as in any practice, be it meditation, or pole vaulting, you need that coaching and reading it from a book, doesn't always help. I tried that with Hatha Yoga and I gave it up after just a several months.
It is helpful to be able to focus on the physical self for that period of time he guides you through the 61 points of the body. The empty, empty part of the 5th segment was a little troubling for me as it is not specific enough, like empty negative thoughts? If I were going to write or be a writer this would be the drug of choice for me. I think it is a very helpful tool and I like the idea that there is no music. It is simple and straight forward, no thrills, no frills, no chills. Very, very relaxing. Thanks to Swami Bharati for sharing this experience.
I also want to take the time to just say how much I appreciate Amazon's efficient service. I have been ordering from Amazon for the past three years and I have yet to have a problem with receiving an order even from the Market Place and I have ordered from the Market Place three or four times. I have only had to return one item and it was a breeze. Thanks Amazon.
Book Review: Soothing CD
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this cd! The voice is smooth, the volume doesn't suddenly get louder which is unlike many other meditation cds I have purchased in the past. Couples can do this one together. It's great!Book Review: I am just stunned!
Summary: 1 Stars
This CD is so bad I am actually mad. There is no way that these reviews are from regular customers. Trust me, these reviews are from the creator of the CD and his friends. It's sad because Amazon reviews used to be a great way to cut through the nonsense and get the real 411 from other "regular" customers. But these reviews are lies. I have a friend (who will remain nameless) and he published a book and had everyone he knew write in 5 star reviews before it was even out. He also made over 20 logins with Amazon himself just for this purpose. Sad. Seriously, this CD is all talking and for over an hour the man names off body parts. Now I have done meditations where a body part is named off and the listener relaxes it. But this is literally a man just saying the names of body parts. No direction, no relaxation techniques, no music, nothing! Do you want to pay for a CD like this? Honestly, anyone could have made this. You could make this yourself easily. What a rip off. Please do not buy this. "You have toes...and toenails...and toes. You have toenails...and toes. Toes and toenails. Toes."
