CD 1: An Introduction to Christian Meditation is a basic description of the why and how of meditation as well as a survey of the contemplative tradition in which this teaching is firmly rooted.

CD 2 Meditation: The Christian Experience explains the essential Christian theology of meditation in the language of the mystery of the Trinity, presenting it in terms of the experience of change, rather than as an abstract theory.

This, the first set of John Main's recorded teaching on meditation, has become a classic introduction to the tradition and its practice. His presentation is simple yet comprehensive. The talks also form the book, 'Word Into Silence'
