Having experienced the moving changes resulting in the journey of Sarah Ingerman's book, AWAKENING TO THE SPIRIT WORLD, it seemed the next step would be to share the audio format of her two CD set SHAMANIC MEDITATIONS. But there is a difference in quality between the two, which are supposedly meant to be purchased as a set. Where Ingerman soars in her book, she wears on the patience of the listener. The quality of sound is spotty, and the entire guide feels, well, used. There are too many distractions technically speaking to submit to the journeys she guides: perhaps wearing earphones would help. There is considerable repetition in these 2 1/4 hours of listening and while that is part of the meditation practice (repetition, that is), it takes great patience to endure the distractions of the physical recording. Stick to the book and wait for Version 2. Grady Harp, June 10
