Summary: informative.. but not all that
Comment: I liked his explanations, but ever since those severe headaches I got from his guided meditation, I've stopped doing it. Not quite the best book to start with then, I reckon

Summary: A Waste of Time and Money
Comment: Completely disapointing. Don't waste your money or time on this video. Didn't learn anything relevant or helpful that I didn't already know about meditation. A very long diatribe on the benefits of meditation - if you are buying a video to learn how to meditate chances are you don't need to be sold on the benefits of meditation. I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to the reviews now. Live and learn from my mistake.

Summary: An Excellent, One-of-a-Kind Meditation Video
Comment: This is one of the most unique and interesting instructional videos that I have ever seen. Walters begins by giving a great talk on what meditation is, how to do it, and why. He speaks simply, clearly, and practically. I really came away feeling like I could do this!

The second part is a guided visualization, also narrated by Walters. His voice is so soothing and relaxing--its the kind of voice you wish was on every guided meditation tape. Of course, it isn't very easy to create compelling visuals to go with a guided meditation, but I think the video succeeds admirably with its blend of enchanting environmental scenes and images.

I also recently discovered that there is a great companion book for this video also called Meditation for Starters, which I bought. It is the perfect accompaniment and serves as an excellent at-a-glance reference, although the video producers take great pains to emphasize that you do NOT need to buy the book to get a great introduction to meditation from the video alone. They are meant to be separate, stand-alone products. While this is definitely true, if you are really serious about getting a practice going, I would recommend buying the book as well.
