This MEDITATIONS WITH MUSIC cassette is designed primarily for young people, but may be used by anyone. The introductions, written and narrated by Louis Savary, S. J., focus on themes of self-awareness, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, inner freedom, trust in others, and a sense of the sacred. These are challenges and problems especially prominent among young people, while the main thrust of THE INNER ME is personal growth awareness, the narrations are set in a religious atmosphere (partial introduction from insert).
