Six Essential Practices to Cultivate Love, Awareness, and Wisdom

Jack Kornfield

As anyone who has tried it knows, meditation looks simple, but at times can be difficult. Whether you are just starting out with meditation or have decided to reconnect with the ground of your practice, this new CD provides concise and gentle training "of the heart and mind" to enjoy the fruits of this centuries-old art.

Offering precise guidance, Kornfield introduces the listener to:

• Basic sitting practice: the essential starting point for nurturing nonjudgmental spaciousness
• The heart-opening techniques of loving kindness and forgiveness meditation to help you discover liberation from suffering
• A visualization exercise for overcoming difficulties—by making direct contact with the voice of your highest wisdom
• The gratitude and joy meditation, which nourishes an innocent rejoicing in life itself
• Mind Like Sky: a practice to enter "original mind," the pure space of awareness that is consciousness itself
