Summary: Tape conversion to CD leaves something to be desired
Review: Anyone with experience in meditation will need to wade through Dr. Siegal's longwinded explanation of the process for a long while to get to the "morning" segment. The biggest problem, apparently caused from the translation of a tape version to a CD version is that there is no track 1 (Morning) and track 2 (Evening). As such, if you miss pausing track 1 upon completion (ie: fall back asleep), the tape runs all the way through to completion of the "evening" version. So if you want to pick up on "Evening", which should be track 2, you need to hold the fast forward button for about 10 minutes to get there. Not much thought given to this aspect. Other than the major inconvenience of this not being thought through very well by the CD fabricators, the tape seems fine. Not as good as some guided meditations I've listened to, but OK. The inconvenience, however, gets in the way of me making any kind of reasonable review. You have no choice but to "tape" the CD onto a cassette tape, which may cause some loss of sound quality. Should have been better thought out - a mere track 2 for "Evening" would have easily solved the problem.

Summary: It can't get better than this!
Review: If you are looking for some relaxation and centering in your life, this is where to find it. Bernie has a soothing voice and guides you to a deep place within yourself. The music is just right. I have rarely failed to fall into a deep sleep when listening to this tape. Bernie feels like a good friend to me. His spirit comes through loud and clear and is always uplifting and hopeful.

Summary: Best Meditation Tape, Not just for cancer patients
Review: This is just about the best meditation tape I have ever found. I have been using guided meditation for about 10 years now and it is awesome for picking you up out of a depressing time to steeling anxieties to relieving you from or preparing you for a stressful day. Bernie's soothing voice glides at just the right speed to bring you onto some of the deepest meditations I have ever been in. Some of the visuals he helps you create makes you want to stay forever. Bernie uses so many different visualizations everyone is bound to have a favorite part and find something they truly love. While Bernie's tapes are normally made for cancer patients this one is truly for everyone. Buy this and I promis you will not be sorry.
