Mindfulness for Beginners by Jon Kabat-Zinn Ph.d CD Perhaps no other person in America has done more to bring mindfulness meditation into the mainstream than Jon Kabat-Zinn.

Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn Ph.d Amazon Review: Kabat-Zinn, founder of the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, is perhaps the best-known proponent of using meditation to help patients deal with illness. (The somewhat confusing title is from a line in Zorba the Greek in which the title character refers to the ups and downs of family life as "the full catastrophe.") But this book is also a terrific introduction for anyone who has considered meditating but was afraid it would be too difficult or would include religious practices they found foreign. Kabat-Zinn focuses on "mindfulness," a concept that involves living in the moment, paying attention, and simply "being" rather than "doing." While you can practice anything "mindfully," from taking a walk to cleaning your house, Kabat-Zinn presents several meditation techniques that focus the attention most clearly, whether it's on a simple phrase, your breathing, or various parts of your body. The book goes into detail about how hospital patients have either improved their health or simply come to feel better despite their illness by using these techniques, but these meditations can help anyone deal with stress and gain a calmer outlook on life. "When we use the word healing to describe the experiences of people in the stress clinic, what we mean above all is that they are undergoing a profound transformation of view," Kabat-Zinn writes. "Out of this shift in perspective comes an ability to act with greater balance and inner security in the world." --Ben Kallen

Celtic Harp: The Quiet Path by Paul Baker CD The Quiet Path offers compositions and improvisations by harpist Paul Baker in keys corresponding to the energy centers of the body (chakras). Four of these songs weave together the resonance of the Celtic harp with the sonority of the cello (featuring cellist Peggy Baldwin) in the key related to the heart chakra to evoke the heart energy. The sound of these resonant melodies binds, instructs and guides the unfolding of all the other chakras with the heart as the central guiding theme. The music is played at a slow steady pulse to lead the brain into the alpha state where the mind, body and spirit relax, reorganize and rejuvenate. This peaceful music creates a perfect environment for healing and transformation.
