The Secret Is There Are No Secrets An Introduction to Zen Meditation
Product Description
Meditation shows us that nothing is hidden. Sitting down, being still and paying attention reveals much that seems unknowable and inaccessible. This introductory program teaches you what meditation is, how to do it, how to be successful at sustaining a practice, and where that practice might lead you.

I’ve seen much better meditation CD’s. Just felt a little short changed with this one though.
5 Stars BUT IT’S AUTHENTIC ZEN!!
Zen is not exciting, nor is it glamorous.
And yes, to many folks it is rather boring. But oddly, real enlightenment can come from just plain “sitting”. Not easy for everyone, I agree.
The whole appeal of zen meditation is its simplicity. Yes, the techniques on this video SHOULD take only 3 minutes to learn. The remainder consists of — well — more sitting!
But if you want to experience no-nonsense zen meditation, this is the real thing.
1 Star There is one secret……
This DVD has very little to offer and even at its attractive price, it’s a waste of money. Granted, I have done reading on meditation for years and have practiced sporadically. Still, I don’t believe you could get much less from a DVD than is available on this one. There are detailed instructions on posture, hand position and the like. That takes about three minutes. I was very disappointed in the lack of in-depth instruction I would have expected from a DVD on meditation.
5 Stars Simple, clear, and relaxing
A simple and clear instructional DVD. This is the very best meditation insructional DVD out there, and it is very relaxing. I highly recommend it to everyone.
5 Stars wonderful
Exactly what a Zen DVD should be. Informative, calming and beautiful to watch and to see. I love the “follow along” sitting session at the end.
