Title: Very annoying voice/incorrect focus
Product review: I can only agree with the other negative reviews regarding Kabat-Zinn's voice. When I listen to a mindfulness tape I don't want to be thinking about the reader's saliva or lack of. I cannot listen to these CDs now due to his voice. There are actually free guided meditations and body scans online that are much better.It is also a GREAT disappointment that he mentions relaxation as a goal of e.g. body scanning which is wrong, wrong, wrong. It is not a goal with mindfulness which he is very well aware of so I cannot understand why he would say in the beginning that we do the body scan to dwell in a deep state of relaxation.Huh?That is not the purpose of mindfulness/meditation/body scanning/yoga and if that is your goal then you are doomed to failure.Otherwise I love Kabat-Zinn and his work, but I am baffled by these CDs.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
