Excellent meditations with explanations for beginners & others.......2006-02-09

I was lucky enough to snap this CD up when it was--briefly--on special somewhere else, and it was a fantastic deal! I give it 5 stars because, for me, it works on every level. The instruction is excellent (each track is followed by a reflection that explores how the meditation went for you), the guidance expertly helps achieve the physical and mental results of serenity, Ali Sharifi's voice is very pleasant, leaving adequate spaces for contemplation, and the gentle acoustic guitar music in the background is also just right--soothing and peaceful without being sappy. Mr. Sharifi gives sessions of four different types of meditations, and all are effective. The breath and heartbeat meditations I found especially useful for slowing down my systems. The inner voice meditation did not resonate as much for me, since it has a computer for the inner voice--using computers in my work, I don't associate them with relaxation--but the narration is conducive to making thoughts appear from your subconscious, and he does also suggest that you use anything you choose for your inner voice (theater screen, chalkboard, spirit guide, etc.). I also appreciated that although he is a Reiki teacher and past-lives therapist (per the description at CD Baby, which also has sound samples), none of these personal beliefs were imposed on these meditation sessions: He focuses on the essential goals and goes straight to the heart of the matter with simple, well-thought-out techniques. The CD is aptly named indeed. Mr. Sharifi states this CD is the first in a series--let's hope he does continue the series! The times of the tracks (each followed by a 2-1/2-to-5-minute reflection or conclusion) are as follows: Focus on Breath: 6:02; Mantra Meditation, 12:29; Focus on Heartbeat, 9:11; Finding Your Inner Voice, 18:45. Thus, you can listen to a single meditation with or without the following reflection for a fairly short session, or listen to several of the meditations for a longer session.

My patients love it. You will too........2002-09-24

"Simple Meditations for Complex Times" is the best meditation CD I have come across in all my years as a Chiropractor. The 4 meditation options to choose from was a pleasant change which appealed to me. According to my mood, I could focus on the 'breath', or 'mantra', 'heartbeat', or 'inner voice' selections. I enjoyed the variation and felt my patients would benefit from this as well. The CD has been extremely helpful in assisting my patients to relax, lower blood pressure, and gain more serenity. I highly recommend this CD to all!

Curious about , or seriously interested in meditation?.......2002-06-23

If you've ever been curious about, or seriously interested in meditation, you'll want to hear this CD.

It's full of valuable and useful meditation information including, breathing techniques, various techniques for focusing, visualization concepts, and not to mention great background music. It discusses how meditation sessions can be short or long, and done at home, work, or just about anywhere else.

The exercises are easy to follow. And as I listened to the CD, I realized more and more how appropriately named it was...Simple Meditations For Complex Times. I can't imagine that anyone who listens to the CD can't get some benefit from it.

Meditations that work.......2002-06-06

I simply had to write a review. This man has a gift for easily guiding you into a meditation smoothly, safely, and effortlessly. Not only are his techniques excellent, but the resonance of his voice was made for guided meditation.I was actually able to meditate and I had all but given up. Thank you Ali Sharifi.

Simply the best CD ever.......2002-06-06

I have a very stressful job in Sales and I am often on the road. There is one thing that I cannot forget when I pack: this Simple Medidations CD is just amazing. After 30 minutes in my hotel room, I feel calm, de-stressed, so relaxed that the following morning, I am serene and I can deal with even the most difficult clients. I highly recommend it.
