I began with meditation tapes by Jon Kabat-Zinn that still are hearty perennials to which I enjoy returning. We have used these tapes on occasion in our Mindful Teacher seminars in Boston. I recommend these to anyone who is just beginning.
Thich Nhat Hanh
This is another wonderful introduction to the theory and practice of meditation.
