This 3 disc, 3 ½ hour, 2009 Sounds True program is encased in a cardboard type tri-fold. It is said to draw on 30 years plus of research by neuropsychologist Rick Hanson and neurologist Richard Mendius. The cover states that it will show you how to strengthen your neural circuits that generate happiness, love, and inner peace and includes 7 guided meditations to reshape your brain. (OK. I'm in.) Note that the term "guided meditation" just means that someone is verbally guiding you through the meditation by talking to you and making suggestions.There is a lot of really good information here and this is an excellent program, especially for those who want to learn to meditate but also want to be convinced first that it is worth their time commitment. This material provides how and why to meditate from a medical standpoint and can also be useful to seasoned meditators. The doctors also talk about how getting rid of your emotional baggage can help you. I can attest to that. Meditation has helped me bring up and confront some stuff I had buried inside. Once you bring it to the surface, you can begin to deal with it. This is a program that you can work with over and over, and will likely need to repeat to effectuate a positive change.With the exception of the meditation segments on each CD, you can listen to the other/instructional parts in your car, on your way to work. I have listed the times for each track so you can figure out how everything is laid out and what way to listen best suits you.Disc 1: Using Your Brain to Change Your Mind (total time 71:12)1. Introduction (0:51)2.

I have reviewed many meditation CDs and videos and I must say this is one of the best collections I have found!The Rick and Richard present 7 meditations on this 3-disk set and each meditation includes discussion on the topic before hand. The meditations are well lead with short periods of silence for the meditation practices. Their voices are very soothing and they will help you find a place within yourself to find peace and safety. By using these CD's regularly you will definitely look at the world differently and potentially change the way you perceive the world.I like the lengths of the practices and you can easily mix and match if you have more time. Here are the 7 meditations included on the cds:Appreciating Your Brain, 10 minFoundation Practices, 15 minTaking in the Good, 7 minAntidote to Stress, 9 minHealing Painful Experiences, 9 minSteadying Your Mind, 28 minMosaic Meditation, 22 minThis CD set will definitely help you work on activating your underlying brain states using both modern western sciences of neurology and psychology and traditional practices of Buddhism. The meditations and theories can be used by people of any spiritual background or no spiritual background at all since there is no discussion of god or other religion-based theories.Another reviewer mentioned they had trouble importing into iTunes. I had no problems at all; in fact this is a great way to use the meditations. You can mix the meditations with soft music or nature sounds and continue the meditation on your own after the formal CD practice has completed.I only have one comment on the packaging. The only place to find a listing of the tracks is on the disk its self.
