Product Description
One of the most telling signs that we are creating what Eckhart Tolle calls a new earth is the increasing interest in meditation. Once a practice intended for monks and ascetics, meditation is now open to everyone as a powerful pathway to awakened consciousness. On Meditations for a New Earth, Eckhart's teaching partner Kim Eng presents eight guided practices that let you go deeper into the formless awareness that has already awakened within you. Whether you are an experienced meditator or just starting out, Kim Eng brings you two CDs of valuable insights and techniques, including: How to structure your practice so you are not doing meditation, but instead allowing it to give rise to presence; Eight guided meditations, including practices for dissolving the pain-body, breathing, meditating in nature, and more. Ten mini-meditations to turn your daily routine into an opportunity for awakening; How to experience the true purpose of meditation--opening to a life of spacious awareness. If you're like millions of readers, you may wonder how you can participate in the transformation of consciousness that Eckhart Tolle describes in A New Earth. Now with Meditations for a New Earth, you can discover a series of powerful and time-honored practices for liberating your awareness from the labyrinth of thought--and opening to a state of pure presence.

Beyond the Wake-Up call December 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Kim Eng's excellent two-CD set is a fine compliment to Eckhart Tolle's written or televised teachings. Eckhart seems to cover a great deal in his works, including the subjects on this CD set, but in a literary manner that I often interpret in my own, comfortable way. Kim can take me right to my pain-body in her meditation on that subject. Her voice really suits this work, as others have noted. There is a selection called 'A meditation for entering sleep consciously' which is truly wonderfull; I emerge from sleep feeling refreshed and more aware after listening to this the night before.
This is very usefull stuff: a dozen guided meditations plus informative introductions by Eckhart Tolle and Kim Eng. If you've been reading a lot and have a lot of words buzzing arround in your head, take a break and catch this buzz - you'll bee here now!!
 Good Basic Meditation Info December 12, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I did enjoy this two CD set, but maybe I was expecting something else. For one thing, when I imported it into iTunes, I cannot find it. The tracks were not named, so I am struggling to find it on my iPod. That really took me for a loop. I am contacting Sounds True to see if they have any suggestions. I know that sounds a bit whiney, but if I cannot find the selections, then how can I enjoy them fully?
When I did listen to it through my computer, I truly enjoyed Kim Eng's voice and she has a lovely way of guiding you through the basics of meditation. There was no music, just her voice as it guided you. Just so you know :-D
Overall, I was left wanting a bit more. Maybe if they had tied it in with Eckhart's info from A New Earth and then had each meditation go along with it tighter it would have flowed together more. Maybe it is MY not understanding how it worked together, but I can only review what I got from the CDs.
Experience the STillness December 12, 2008
Excellent introduction by Eckhart Tolle, really spends 10-15 minutes breaking down his concept of meditation that sets the tone for Kim Eng.
She has a voice that is soft yet easy to follow. The meditations promote stillness and the variety allows me to select different types of meditations to experience a freshness that produces great quality. The first of many to follow.
Good for Beginning Meditators...and Others October 13, 2008
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Although I have been practicing meditation for decades, I still find it helpful to listen to guided meditations occassionally, and have a number of instructive CDs by various teachers. This CD set is an excellent addition to my library, one I will return to often.
First of all, Kim Eng has the perfect voice for guided meditation. It is smooth, calm yet alert; she articulates each word with fluidity, effortlessly, and uses pauses naturally with perfect timing. Often meditation speakers attempt to be too slow or too relaxed; not so here. Ms. Eng is a gifted speaker.
The material presented is extensive. The "meditation on the breath" is the foundation of Ms. Eng's meditation techniques and is a common meditative method. Preceded by brief introductions by Ms. Eng and Eckhart Tolle, this is the first one on CD #1. This guided meditation is mostly helpful for 'beginner level' meditators, or those who have been using a different meditative technique (such as mantra, conceptual, chanting, etc.). Next, Kim guides one effectively and thoroughly through an "inner body meditation," which will be helpful to beginners as well as more experienced meditators. Unique to Eckhart Tolle's teaching is Ms. Eng's "a meditation for dissolving the pain body." As Tolle readers know, the pain body is a unique and important concept of his teachings and something that many have grappled with for understanding. My only criticism with Ms. Eng's presentation is here, where she attempts to explain Tolle's teaching on this subject; her attempt feels slightly awkward. But that doesn't impact or spoil the meditation in any major way, and listeners/meditators will no doubt find this meditation useful in expanding upon their understanding of the concept.
There are ten mini-meditations that one can use on the fly day in and day out and are extremely helpful. The meditation on nature is wonderful, and will help the listener/meditator experience the outdoors in new ways.
This is a very worthwhile CD set, especially for the beginning meditator, and those who are Eckhart Tolle devotees. Even the experienced meditator will find material of value herein.
A Huge Aid for Staying Present October 13, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
The two CDs are great. Kim's voice is smooth and calm- very enjoyable to listen to. I think the mini-meditations have helped me the most - just to remember to stay present in all things. Also, the meditation that deals with the pain-body is very good. I highly recommend Meditations for a New Earth for anyone who needs help in accessing the NOW.
