"What an offering Richard C. Miller has given us! The iRest Program
for Healing PTSD presents ancient wisdom in an engaging,
user-friendly way, and shows how to return to wholeness after being
traumatized. This book is the perfect guide to help readers
effectively release trauma and recover from PTSD. I highly
recommend it."
--James Baraz, coauthor of Awakening Joy and cofounder of Spirit
Rock Meditation Center
"For six years, I taught iRest meditation at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center with active duty service members suffering from
acute post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite my students'
initial skepticism about a meditation-based approach, I witnessed
enormous, life changing improvements in their mental and physical
health as they practiced the iRest protocol during their three-week
treatment program. Miller's book clearly articulates the
fascinating theory and powerful methodology of iRest meditation for
healing PTSD. iRest is a culture-neutral, trauma-sensitive, and
evidence-based modality that I can't recommend highly enough for
treating trauma-related conditions."
--Robin Carnes, MBA, certified yoga and iRest meditation
instructor
"I am grateful for the wisdom of this work and the depth of its
practical application. There are useable tools and resources to act
as a resilience inoculation to better prepare our military for the
challenges they will face, as well as proven and researched
practices to assist veterans and their families through the trials
and phases of transition from military service. Thank you Richard
C. Miller, for your generosity of spirit and for showing us a way
forward."

mind for those experiencing PTSD. Miller opens the way for health,

healing yourself--what a gift."

healing."

"Richard's teachings and the practice of iRest offer practitioners
the heart of true healing. iRest uncovers the part of you that is
untouched by trauma, the part of you that is whole, healthy, and
complete--just as it is. I have personally witnessed iRest help
thousands of service members, veterans, and military families
discover meaning in their traumatic experiences."
--Molly Birkholm, cofounder of Warriors at Ease and founder of
Healing River Yoga
"This is a very important book, to say the least. More and more, we
are learning in the West that meditative practices from the East
have a deep and profound ability to heal the darkest and most
painful aspects of our human experience. Richard Miller is leading
the way in bringing these practices into the mainstream in an
easy-to-understand and experiential way. Very highly
recommended."
--Scott Kiloby, author of Natural Rest for Addiction
