More About the Author
Product Description
One of the most enjoyable parts of a yoga class comes when we rest in savasana and realize deep serenity, a sense of effortless joy, and a glimpse into our true nature as unqualified presence. How is this so? Master teacher Richard Miller explains that this experience is a manifestation of yoga nidra, the meditative state of mind-body union at the heart of all yoga practice. A powerful integration of book and CD audio learning, Yoga Nidra is an ancient tantric yoga path that leads to inner freedom. Through accessible language appropriate for any level of practice, Miller takes us step-by-step through the traditional techniques of relaxation and meditation to help us move toward the realization of "unqualified presence" - the ultimate aim of yoga - a goal unreachable through posture practice alone. Through his expert guidance, students will experience: - Deep relaxation for relief from day-to-day stress - The development of "one-pointedness"-a key to spiritual awakening - Healing from painful emotions, such as fear, grief, and anger - More effective and energizing sleep, and much more Suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners - but new to most Westerners - Yoga Nidra provides an unmatched way to experience the culmination of the art of yoga, and the deeper physical, emotional, and spiritual rewards that are its promise.

Format:Paperback
The yoga nidra CD is very carefully sequenced and takes one into a very deep relaxation. It is one of the better yoga nidra CDs in my humble opinion as it gently guides you through what yoga nidra (yogic sleep) is all about. Each time you listen to the CD it touches other parts of your psyche. There is always something new to discover and the CD seems to have been designed in this way. So each yoga nidra session takes one into another area of exploration and of course what the participant brings to the session makes each experience different which is why doing it regularly is so compelling. I find it very useful for insomnia but also it can have the effect of making dreams more vivid as the unconscious starts uploading subconscious stuff. This can be both pleasant and unpleasant but this is what yoga nidra is all about. The goal is to accept what is and face the psyche and life with equanimity whatever is thrown at the individual.
The book is very detailed about the theory of yoga nidra which I found very helpful after much reading in the area of yoga, meditation and contemplative prayer. Many things slotted into place when reading this book. I wouldn't say this book is for a beginner as many aspects may seem rather opaque initially. The writer's style is very clear but the concepts are not so easy to accept unless the individual knows something of Patanjali's yoga sutras and yoga philosophy in general.
Yoga nidra can be a helpful guide to bringing oneself into the present moment and encourages exploration into the authentic self. The question Who Am I? is what yoga nidra addresses - it can be a slow unfolding or a sudden realisation.
Useful CD in itself (without reading the book) particularly for those in pain, in stressful circumstances or those who have insomnia.
Anybody can practice yoga nidra and find that their life circumstances seem so much lighter as a result. It is a very useful technique for working out issues in one's life - in the end it is the approach to viewing life that is healed. Highly recommended.

Other than putting me to sleep, when I managed to stay awake I have noticed an improvement in my general being. I felt more centred, calm and responsive to the world around me the next day.
The CD helpfully breaks down practice into separate chunks and also puts the whole practice together in the end. The voice is soft and easy to listen to, allowing you to focus on the experience rather than the noise.

Must-have for yoga students and teachers
27 July 2010
Format:Paperback
Yoga Nidra is one of the most powerful practices in yoga. It is also one of the most accessible, which is why this book is so wonderful for new and experienced students. The author provides a thorough exploration of this deep relaxation practice. Yoga teachers will find a wealth of resources to use in the classroom within this book. The included CD allows students to experience guided yoga nidra sessions. The audio production is first rate, and the author's speaking voice is very nice and relaxing. I highly recommend this book for yoga teachers looking to augment their use of yoga nidra during classes. This book is also perfect for students looking for an easy, accessible way to practice yoga at home. The practice is applicable to everyone, regardless of physical condition. Learn to reduce stress and let go with this wonderful book and CD combination.

yoga awake meditation

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This explanation of Yoga Nidra, the procedure and the benefits, is very comprehensive. The CD can be used 'stand alone' even though the book recommends reading the book first. The CD has sectioned introductions in the first half that can be used a a full session. The last half of the CD is another full Yoga Nidra session. There are many books and CDs out here. This is a good combination to have in your tool box. Excellent for relxation and for assistance in meditation since the CD is so directive in calming the mind. The book is solid, but my personal enjoyment was due to the CD.
