Going Deep Within | It's natural for the mind to go inward when we give it the opportunity. As soon as we close our eyes, awareness starts to settle down. This meditation will help you to discover that natural movement of the mind and allow it to take you deep within.

Emotional Ease | This meditation will help the emotions flow more freely. You can listen to it to it when you feel rough or upset or simply to experience greater ease in life.

Music for Meditation and Relaxation | In response to requests, this episode is a track of music alone, without a guided meditation. This is the last track on our Pure Relaxation CD. You can use this music while you do your own meditation or simply as a background as you work or relax. You can also use the music as a meditation by listening to it with your full attention. Sit or lie down, close your eyes, and bring your attention to the music. Whenever you find your attention has wandered, bring it easily back to the music. As always, don't strain or try to force your mind to follow the music, just be easy about it and "take it as it comes".We love hearing from people listening to our podcasts -- visit www.meditationoasis.com and email us your questions and comments! | 2/2/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sleep, Relaxation, Tension Release... Here I Come.
This podcast is unbelievable. It's actually the first time I've ever tried any type of meditation to calm me down. At night, sometimes, it's hard for me to sleep because it take me forever to calm down and relax. These podcast have rocked me to sleep night after night. I've actually woken up in the morning with the headphones still in my ears. I feel rested I feel relaxed. This is great. Some of the episode sare shorter which is great if you hae a coffee break at the office or something like that... and really need some down time. Amazing. 5 stars.
Simplicity
This podcast is excellent. It jumps right into meditation without without all this talk about nothing. Better then any book or other podcast out there.
Great for sleep!!
I love this podcast! I listen to a meditation every night before I go to sleep. I can't say enough about the benefits to me personally of these meditations. Thank you Mary and Richard and please keep them coming!!
