Summary: Good beat to walk to
Review: I listen to the tape when I do my daily treadmill walk. It has a funky rhythm that keeps you moving and, if you follow the beaet with your steps, you get a good workout. As for the peaceful, meditative state promised...I'm not sure. Sure, I feel good after my workout, but I am not sure if it is from the "brainwave" adjustment, or the physical workout itself. I am planning to try another one of her tapes, so while I'm not completely convinced, I admit some satisfaction with this tape. We'll see once I try another of Kelly Howell's tapes.

Summary: Good beat to walk to
Review: Walking Meditation...it sounds intriguing doesn't it? As a practitioner of TM, I was looking forward to a cassette tape I could listen to while walking that would enhance the meditative experience physically. Boy...did I get a surprise. I began my walking with promise enough. I heard tones and a rhythm that sounded as though a deeper, more reflective state of mind was being evoked. Soon however, after some soothing words from the author, a jazzy number began. I was not expecting any music whatsoever, just tones and perhaps a measured, pulsating rhythm. Imagine my surprise when a rap song began...ladies and gentlemen...meditative rap is an oxymoron. I checked the advertisement for the cassette tape and I could find simply no reference to music, jazz, rap or otherwise. I was expecting something completely different. If anyone can combine music, exercise and the true transcendental meditative experience in one fell swoop...I am green with envy. I am served so well by my transcendental meditation, however, I will never again attempt to duplicate it while exercising. I kind of feel like Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz"...except that I kind of live over the rainbow already and if I ever want to search for new adventure, I'll never look further than my own rainbow. You can keep the whole Kansas thing. Hopefully, people who practice TM will kind of understand that last statement. Peace to you all...

Summary: Works for me!
Review: Yes, I too was expecting something more TM, and I can't say I'm too crazy about the muzak. But the boost of positive energy was amazing. Five minutes into my walk, I'm looking around thinking, "I LOVE these woods! Isn't that a BEAUTIFUL house? I am SO READY to go to work tomorrow!" (who, me?) After my walk, I felt relaxed and positive. Usually I just feel exhausted. I think it's well worth trying.
