Meditation for Starters

The first half of Meditation for Starters is a lecture about meditation by J. Donald Walters, also known as Kriyananda. Walters' gentle lecture takes the mystery and the "have to" out of the process of meditating; his lecture offers both practical advice (which way to sit, don't eat a heavy meal beforehand, etc.) and encouragement that we are more than our schedules and to-do lists. The second half of the album, "Land of Mystery," is a colorful guided meditation with a delightful musical score (with nature sounds) that follows the flow of the narration. Walters will lead your imagination to soar on breezes, land in a forest glade, walk on a cool mossy floor, etc. Just enough "silence" is included to encourage the beginning meditator to be alone with their mind. Walters radiates trust and love, and it won't be hard for the listener to stay seated in the presence of such a friendly master. The music is among Walters' most colorful compositions.
