One of the easiest ways of starting to meditate is to buy a
pre-recorded meditation tape. Normally, these will have a couple of
meditation tracks that are either designed to help you to meditate
in general or, maybe, to provide a guided meditation for a specific
purpose.

The specific guided meditation topic could be almost anything.
Often it is to do with healing your body. The relaxed state that
you will achieve when you meditate will help your body to heal
itself. Add in the various directions within the guided meditation
tape and you'll be well on your way to helping your body to heal
itself.

There are many places online where you can buy a meditation tape.
These range from general web sites like Amazon, which provides an
excellent range to help you start, through to specialist websites
that only deal in meditation tapes and downloads.

Which you choose is up to you and will depend to a large extent on
whether you prefer to have a physical tape or CD that you can
handle or if you prefer the immediate satisfaction of downloading a
track that you can instantly transfer to your iPod and start to
use, rather than waiting for the postal system to deliver your
eagerly awaited meditation session.

Another advantage of using a specialist website for your meditation
tracks is that quite a few of them will offer bonuses if you buy
more than one session at once.

This, coupled with the laser precision of buying exactly the track
you want, is leading more and more people to do away with
meditation tapes and purchase their guided meditations online
instead.
