This CD has an attractive cover. There is a brief introduction about Kim and her many skills. This is followed by an explanation of the benefits of meditation. There are 2 meditations.

The first "Journey to the stars" lasts for about 30 minutes. Kim's voice soothes over you, allowing you to relax. Her voice is very expressive - you can tell she's smiling as she speaks. She starts by grounding you, and then performing an exercise designed to open your chakras. This tape is fine for novices, as she guides you step by step along the way. The music in the background is quietly spacey. Then the journey begins. Kim leads you from a meadow up a mountain. She peacefully brings you to a stream. This journey involves all the senses. You feel refreshed by a waterfall you come to - you can feel all your tensions being released from you. The journey leads on up the mountain to its top where you become immersed in Light and become one with it. A feeling of peace and safety descends upon you. You continue on your journey to your own special star. You then enter a Temple there where you're balanced and receive any guidance and healing that you need. The return is gradual, coming out of the Temple, then through the stars and to the mountain, passing the waterfall and eventually back to the meadow. Your chakras are closed just the right amount for you, and you are grounded. All in all, a refreshing and uplifting journey - a truly cosmic experience.

The second meditation is entitled "A Self Healing Meditation". Again, it lasts for around half an hour. This meditation is more relaxing than the first. You start enveloped in white light. Kim then travels down the chakra system, expanding them as she goes. Her voice is very expressive, yet warm. Music gently lulls you in the background. She leads you, balanced and attuned with your higher essence. She then grounds you with golden roots all the way down to the core of Mother Earth. Your journey begins in a peaceful garden, full of flowers. The light flows into any areas of your body where its needed in order to heal your physical body, then on to the emotional level, and on to the mental and finally spiritual levels. You can request guidance in any healing you need. The meditation has the feeling of a country garden with birds twittering around in the background. There is less of Kim's voice in this meditation, giving you more time for reflection. Gently, awareness is returned to your body, You come back to the garden and its flowers surrounded again by the Light. Harmony, healing and balance are brought into your body. Your chakras are slowed, closed just the right amount for you, and brought into alignment from the base chakra upwards. You are grounded and then your awareness is brought back into the room and your surroundings. I felt very cherished and cared for after this meditation.

So, in conclusion, these meditations are great for anyone - you are guided through them both, so they are fine for novice and the more advanced alike. "Journey to the stars" is a more uplifting meditation, leaving you refreshed and ready for the day. The second, "A Self Healing Mediation" is quieter and more reflective in nature, leaving you feeling relaxed and nurtured. All in all, great value at $15.99 (£12.95).
