Summary

Join in meditations developed at one of the world's great meditation centers and gain ideal support for a daily mindfulness practice. Here are 4 authentic meditations from Plum Village, the celebrated Zen sanctuary and peace center founded by Thich Nhat Hanh in southern France. Hanh is a meditation master who Thomas Merton has described as "the Zen monk who sees beyond life and death." These inspiring guided meditations teach conscious breathing for calming the mind and cultivating joy, body appreciation and attunement practice, and how to transform your anger into seeds of kindness.

Perfect

This is perfect for those wanting guided meditation inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. There are some with just the mindfulness bells and some gently guided. I loved the sound of the bell and I think the reviewer who felt it was distorted was actually hearing the resonance of the bell which I like a very large bowl in real life. The recording seems to my ears quite accurate.
The guided meditations are quite beautiful and I found the one on learning to love my parents and myself very powerful and helpful. I will be keeping this "book" on my phone to use every day and look forward to using it over and over again. Wonderful!

Beautifully simple

Just as taking care of ourselves, others and the world should be. Let's sit down and listen and feel.

Good for relaxing, a realistic meditation guide

What made the experience of listening to Plum Village Meditations the most enjoyable?

Thich Nhat Hahn

If you’ve listened to books by Thich Nhat Hanh and Sister Jina van Hengel before, how does this one compare?

This is less guided than the others

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This promotes a sense of calm and relaxation.

Any additional comments?

Thich Nhat Hahn is a great buy if you want to meditate and relax. This particular session is predominantly Thich Nhat Hahn ringing a bell, it makes it more realistic way to actually meditate because there is less interruption or gimmicky sounds. It is it's simplicity that makes is one of the better meditation audios that I have used.

Four short meditations

Each meditation starts with a brief introduction followed by the exercise. The first meditation is a free-form meditation of about 30 minutes with a bell chime in the background to help synchronise breathing. The remaining three meditations are guided and based on breath work. The last one is a short exercise focused on releasing anger or resentment towards one’s parents. Overall, a very useful meditation aid with simple and clear instructions. There is no elaborate imagery or music but these are very effective nonetheless.

Audio distorted

Quite disappointed by the sound quality on this audiobook. The gong/bell comes across very distorted - very annoying as a newcomer to meditation - I probably wouldn't mind if I was totally chilled after a year's meditating !! But as the bell is the point focus for the meditation - the central part and point of this audiobook - I'm disappointed at having shelled out money for this - even with the special offer.
