Reviews

"Whether you're looking for deep relaxation, stress reduction, or spiritual transformation, you're in good hands with yoga master and nondual psychotherapist Richard Miller, whose wise, warmhearted, accessible instruction in the time-honored practice of Yoga Nidra has the power to guide you all the way home!" --Stephan Bodian, former editor in chief of Yoga Journal, author of Meditation For Dummies, coauthor of Buddhism For Dummies "In this collection, Richard brings us the practice of Yoga Nidra with a sophistication and power that it has not previously known in the West. Yoga Nidra is in so many ways the perfect tool for his nondual teachings, and his practices are absolutely delicious--simple, deep, and transformative. Like all authentic spiritual work, these practices produce fruit from the very beginning. They require only presence, and as such represent both the path and the goal of nondual practice." --Stephen Cope, author of Yoga and the Quest for the True Self and The Wisdom of Yoga "Dr. Richard Miller is the ultimate teacher of teachers. In Yoga Nidra he shares from his personal experience the clear, concise path to our essential nature. Highly recommended for teachers and students on the spiritual path." --Larry Payne, PhD, founder of Yoga Therapy Rx, coauthor of Yoga For Dummies and Yoga Rx, author of Yoga After 50 For Dummies "Richard Miller's book on Yoga Nidra makes an enormous contribution to our understanding of this most ancient practice. In a sea of new and often empty publications, this book deserves a place on the bookshelf of every yoga practitioner, be they beginner or teacher. Richard's warmth and radiant presence, so familiar to his students and colleagues, ring through on every page." --Donna Farhi, author of Yoga Mind, Body & Spirit and Bringing Yoga to Life "Richard Miller eloquently invites everyone, from all pathways and spiritual traditions, to join him in this most powerful practice of Yoga Nidra. His wise guidance is clear and inspiring. This book is a must for everyone who hears the call and feels the inner longing for enlightenment." --Lilias Folan, author of Lilias! Yoga Gets Better with Age "Gratitude filled my heart as I turned each page of this book. It was gratitude, of course, for the deep teaching it offers. But gratitude also for the clear and gentle way Richard guides us on a most personal journey--the journey home to ourselves. This is a book to read slowly and ingest on the deepest levels." --Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, author of Yogabody "Whether your goal is peace of mind or the secret of enlightenment, your journey begins here. Richard Miller leads you on a journey (which you can repeat every day for the rest of your life) to discover, beneath your current mood, beneath your body's aches and pains, and beneath your mind's self-limiting beliefs, the 'vastness' of who you really are." --Amy Weintraub, author of Yoga for Depression
