These audio CDs offer practical help to prepare for and to time your meditation. An instruction on meditation and an opening prayer by John Main remind you of the essential simplicity of the teaching and prepare you for the practice. Contemplative music followed by quiet chimes then lead you into silence. At the end of the timed period of silence chimes again, followed by music, gently lead you out of meditation. You have a choice of twenty, twenty-five, or thirty minutes of silence. All meditators, new or practising, will find these CDs helpful.
