This cd to my mind is extremely well put together and is easily one of the best cd's of it's kind that I have purchased in a long time. Essentially it starts you off very gently, (Laynes' voice is very calm and soothing) and evently leads you into a full walking and breathing meditation combined with the accompliments of drums to syncronise your breath to. It is very powerful. It takes a little bit of practice to sucessfully combine both walking, breathing and visualizing the chakras simultaneously but it is well worth persuing. I really love this cd as it really does unify both breath, body and mind. Would highly recommend it.
Layne Redmond offers good instruction on breathing techniques. She goes through how to breathe using diaphragm and lower lungs, then ribcage and middle lungs and the listener practices each briefly to get the feel of the breathing technique. Then she instructs the listener on how to combine the 3 breathing techniques into the full yogic breath. She moves the listener into a sitting then a standing and walking breathing technique using a relaxing trance-like rhythm. There are 2 rhythm sections at the end of the CD that are each about 20 minutes long, the first with instruction over the rhythm and the second with just the rhythm so you can do the breathing practice without any distractions. I like to do moving meditations so this CD was thumbs up for me. The CD has a nice progression of techniques. Everything is clearly instructed and easy to do. A well planned program great for beginner where nothing is too long, drawn out and tedious. CD is 74 minutes long.
I bought this after one of my friends brought it to my church class. It is wonderful! The heart beat is on of my favorite sounds. The mediation is amazing. Love fact that it is in two CD's.
