Jon Kabat-Zinn – Guided Mindfulness Meditation series 2 [4 CDs – MP3s, 2-Text Files, Bitrate: 320 Kbps]The descriptions below are from www.mindfulness.com, which is also where you may purchase his CDs for $30/series.  Series 2 is a set of four CDs of different lengths, designed for people who want a range of shorter guided meditations to help them develop and/or expand and deepen a personal meditation practice based on mindfulness. It gives you programs of varying lengths to use on different days, depending on how much time you can make for formal practice. They are a way for you to make maximum use of the time you do have to develop a strong and enduring daily practice.Series 2 includes a range of mindfulness meditation practices on the different CDs. The first CD (#1) is devoted to three sitting meditations of varying length. The second CD (#2) has the three lying down meditations.Series 2 also includes one CD (#3) with a guided “mountain” and a guided “lake” meditation. These images are used in the service of strengthening one’s understanding of mindfulness practice. They speak to deep aspects of the psyche and support the cultivation of silence, stillness, resolve, and wakefulness.The last CD (#4) is silence with bells.  Track 1 helps in practicing on your own without guidance, yet keeping track of the time without looking at a clock. Track 2 helps in developing calmness and equanimity (non-reactivity), as the bells ring at irregular intervals, sometimes loudly. Series 2 CDs were developed to accompany Dr. Kabat-Zinn’s book, Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life (Hyperion, 1994). Wherever You Go, There You Are encapsulates both the spirit and the details of formal and informal mindfulness practices in an easy-to-read format that suggests some of the infinite ways we might bring mindfulness into our everyday lives.CAUTION:  DO NOT USE THESE PROGRAMS WHILE DRIVING!CD 1 1-01 Sitting Meditations 10 minutes 1-02 Sitting Meditations 20 minutes 1-03 Sitting Meditations 30 minutesCD 2 2-04 Lying Down Meditations 10 minutes 2-05 Lying Down Meditations 20 minutes 2-06 Lying Down Meditations 30 minutesCD 3 3-07 Mountain Meditation 20 minutes 3-08 Lake Meditation 20 minutesCD 4 4-09 Silence with Bells 1 Bells at 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes 4-10 Silence with Bells 2 Bells at irregular intervalsText Files: A Note From Jon Kabat-Zinn How to use your Guided Mindfulness Meditation Practice CDs*******************  To read about the author, Jon Kabat-Zinn, go to: http://www.mindfulnesscds.com/author.html********************If you’re interested in purchasing the book, Wherever You Go, There You Are, it’s available at http://www.amazon.com/Wherever-You-Go-There-Are/dp/B000IO8KB4/ref=ed_oe_hProduct Details    * Paperback: 304 pages    * Publisher: Hyperion; 10 Anv edition (January 5, 2005)    * Language: English    * ISBN-10: 1401307787    * ISBN-13: 978-1401307783    * Product Dimensions: 8.2 x 5.7 x 0.8 inches    * Shipping Weight: 14.4 ouncesNOTE:  This is my first upload…ever.  Please forgive me if I’ve done something incorrectly.  Also, the audio is better if the volume isn’t too low.  I contacted the company selling these CDs with a bunch of complaints about the audio quality and they were told by the manufacturer that everything is as it should be.  I apologize for the not so good audio parts.  They did inform me that I’m the first person to ever complain about the quality!The good news is that I’ve ordered the audiobook to Dr. Kabat-Zinn’s book, Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life.  I’ll upload it when it comes so you’ll have both the book (audio) and his meditations that accompany the book.  The audiobook is located at:
