This CD is very effective, and easy to follow. I found it soothing and relaxing, through the use of very simple and yet effective instructions. Robin's warm and very comforting voice make even the most impatient beginner, settle down and quickly open up to her. It certainly has been the perfect answer to my long and stressful day, even more so than 2 hours exercise in the gym. For the first time I'm learning how to breath properly, clensing my mind and body at the same time. The music is also very relaxing, helping to quickly create and maintain the perfect atmosphere for meditation from beginning to end. A great weapon in my battle against stress!
