This reviewer simply cannot praise Lisa Guyman’s Journey into Meditation enough. But don’t take my word for it; it has had a top ranking on Amazon’s bestseller list for over 2288 days (5 years and counting) straight – no. 1 as of writing/review – and in the process beating even Enya’s most recent albums! It just might be the best guided meditation album released. – – – BT Fasmer — New Age Music
Full Review from New Age Music:
We love meditation albums here at New Age Music.nu. We recently reviewed the widely popular The Sphinx of Imagination by Hypnotica – which is a meditation treasure chest, like a gateway to a strange but wonderful world. We also told you about the Miracle Mantra Guru Ram Das as taught by Yogi Bhajan.
Another album that isn’t that otherworldly and enigmatic, but focuses more on the earthly magic of meditation, is Lisa Guyman’s Journey into Meditation: Guided Meditations for Healing, Insight and Manifestation (2004). It just might be the best guided meditation album released, and this reviewer simply cannot praise it enough.
But don’t take my word for it; it has had a top ranking on Amazon’s bestseller list for over 1312 days straight – no. 1 as of writing – and in the process beating even Enya’s most recent albums!
Guided meditation albums are a bit hard to review because they generally are so massive, so filled with expressions and emotions. Journey into Meditation: Guided Meditations for Healing, Insight and Manifestation, hereafter simply called Journey, is like a self help audiobook AND a new age music album all in one. It must be said that Lisa Guyman is a world class meditation instructor – and her soothing voice has an angelic quality that will help even the most stressed-out mind relax. Indeed, I have no problem calling her voice control for perfection.
The album consists of three 20 minute long parts.
They are called:
- Mystic Waterfall – Chakra Balancing Meditation,
- Inner Wisdom – Meditation for Accessing Your Inner Wisdom and
- Life Visualization – Manifesting Meditation
You could listen to them all at once and get a powerful meditation. But I find that the different parts have different functions, and you can choose to do one quick but effective, 20 minute meditation, all based on what you need in the moment. I recommend part 1 for general relaxation, part 2 when you need to focus on feelings and relations, and part 3 to locate energy and creativity inside you. I did say that Journey was a true find, didn’t I?
Apart from Lisa Guyman’s voice you will get to enjoy Rob Wallace’s pleasant sound design on Journey. His nature sound mix and ambient melodies are simply irresistible. The whole arrangement is first rate – in an uncomplicated, calming way.
I can only say that I’m so happy that I found Journey – it has given me so much joy and comfort. I’m equally happy that it has become a massive bestseller, because I know that this is just what the world needs right now; a journey into meditation.

Hi Lisa! What a wonderful review. I enjoy each and every one of your meditations. I just finished giving myself a Reiki self treatment listening to your Ultimate Reiki Self-Treatment CD. I feel wonderful! Thank you so much for all that you do. I am hoping to take your Primordial Sound Meditation class in the near future. ANGIE
