Fourteen free meditations! "Debbie's first three books, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Spiritual Divorce and The Secret of the Shadow, are still known as groundbreaking, pioneering work in emotional and spiritual education. They take the reader on amazing journeys into the internal world, laying out the blueprint of the human psyche. They are honest, straightforward and practical."

Nature Sounds on Serenity Cafe

Stumbled across this site and I am very impressed by the nature sounds; they seem to last at least 10 minutes, but I have yet to time them in their entirety!

Eckhart Tolle Meditative Talk for Forty Minutes!


 

Eckhart Tolle Meditation

The genius of Tolle is very apparent in this talk; it lasts about 40 minutes, and there is dialog throughout, but it makes for a good meditation none-the-less. He is "pointing" to spaciousness and stillness that you can embrace in your practice...

Vipassana Meditation as Taught by S.N. Goenka

http://diydharma.org/vipassana-meditation-track-3-sn-goenka



I have just completed my first 10-day Vipassana Meditation course in Sweden; see www.dhamma.org for a schedule of "workshops" - the meditation technique of Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha.

It is doubtful that I will be posting additional meditation links in the future - I have shopped around for 8 years now, utilizing the below listed meditations on a daily basis, but I will be dedicating myself to this practice (one hour in the morning and one in the evening, as recommended).

The technique must be learned at one of the 10-day courses, or the meditator will not come close to the benefits, knowledge and/or "results" of this wonderful and deep practice.

All the best to you and I hope you find a practice that suits you and brings bliss. Be happy, be happy... May all beings share my merits, my peace, my harmony and my liberation.
