Yoga Nidra: The Meditative Heart of Yoga

I really love this book. I teach Yoga Nidra and find Richard Miller's book to be very informative, particularly the part of the book which allows you to streamline your practice to your own needs. The CD in the back is a definite plus and so very helpful to the practitioner. I recommend it to my students for times whn they can't make it to class.

Eh?

I fell asleep each time I tried to use this. I think it would be better to take a workshop or class. I donated it to the public library book sale.

Amazing

I have tried a couple of meditation CDs including Jack Kornfield who I still admire very much. However, this one to date is my favorite. This DVD is like a good yoga practice, turning inward, sensing the body, and creating relaxation by balancing both sides of the brain. His voice is very peaceful, lulling you into a deep relaxation. Helpful for those nights you need help falling asleep.

A helpful guide and teaching for a novice like me...

I find the guided exercise CD to be a key benefit of this product... it allows the listener to be in the body with a kind of awareness that can only be transformative (with practice), and Miller's insights on first-hand experience and knowing are skillful confirmation of authentic spiritual learning rooted in personal presence...
