Music reviews of The Ease of Being: Guided Meditations for Centering and Healing
Music Review: This Really Works
Rating: 5 Stars
As a person diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and after many years of trying many approaches to getting healed, I am very grateful to Mary for creating the Ease of Being CD. It has been a wonderful aid to getting more calm and feeling like my old "self" again.
The words and music on this CD work together in a synergistic way to create a feeling of comfort, peace, and reassurance that has been very effective for me in reducing the anxious thoughts and increasing the joy and well being. Other guided meditation CDs I have listened rely mostly on guided imagery which is OK but require a certain amount of "work" on the listener's part. For me, this effort to follow a guided imagery process is counter-productive since it keeps my mind too busy to really relax and let go. Mary's CD, on the other hand, is not guided imagery, but instead a very gentle encouragement to settle down and just "be", without trying to do anything. Her voice and the music are very soothing and comforting and the process takes the listener to a very deep meditative state. Sometimes I fall asleep while listening and wake up very refreshed and revitalized.
Usually I prefer guided meditation audios without music, because, being a devoted music lover, I find that the music which is found on most meditation tapes can be distracting and sometimes just not appropriate. Here, though, the music is very far in the background and very amorphous and soothing as well as non-rhythmic so it provides enhancement rather than interference to the process.
I enjoy all three tracks, but my favorite is "Flowing Freely: an Emotional Healing Meditation". This meditation is great for dealing with negative emotions and the feeling of being "stuck" in a down or depressed state of mind. Mary guides the listener to experience the deeper level of awareness which is beyond the level of emotions and thoughts. This allows the negative emotions and thoughts to dissolve and fade away without trying to deal with them on their terms. This sounds complicated but it is very easy if you just listen easily. The title says it all: the ease of being.
I have recommended Mary's CDs to my friends and many have enjoyed them as well. This may not be the right approach for everyone but I believe many would benefit and have real results.

Description of The Ease of Being: Guided Meditations for Centering and Healing
May 12, 2005 UPDATE: The Ease of Being CD has now been re-mastered for improved audio quality.The soothing voice and deeply relaxing music on the Ease of Being restore a centered state of awareness and support healing. The meditations encourage trust in the natural flow of life, leading to greater physical, mental and emotional ease. The instructions suggest that you "?simply allow the words and music to wash over you? It is not necessary to understand, or even hear, all the words". Instead of asking you to focus on specific instructions or images, these meditations gently guide the mind to relax completely. In this relaxed state, healing can happen naturally and effortlessly.
Once referred to as "meditations without borders", the Ease of Being does not represent any particular tradition. It gives you the freedom to relax into your own, unique healing journey. One customer stated, "These meditations are unique ? you can just float with them". If you listen with an open mind and heart, The Ease of Being can take you straight to the "heart of healing"!
