If you have Yoga Nidra (The Meditative Heart Of yoga) by the same author (it comes with a CD) you have all that he can give you at a much reduced cost. This CD set is the same stuff diluted in water to make it go longer and longer...

I work with Soldiers who suffer from PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury and chronic pain (singularly and in combination). I picked up this CD set coming from a yoga perspective (on a personal level) and a clinical perspective (on a professional level). The soldiers I have met who have experience with Yoga Nidra as therapy in their formal PTSD groups swear by it in helping them reduce their stress and anxiety and heal emtional wounds. I have found it exceptionally helpful on a personal level with stress and anxiety (which comes mostly from working with patients who are medically and psychologically complex and in need of positive and effective treatment).

I have listened through the 2nd CD thus far ( I find it difficult to NOT have a visual image of what I am sensing but I am getting there) and use it on those nights when I wake up "refreshed" at 2 in the morning and can't fall back asleep. My husband is a pilot and finds it helps him also when he is having issues with stress which are effecting his sleep. When I sleep following a session of Yoga Nidra, I sleep HARD! as if I am a cinder block placed on the bed.

In addition, our 7 year old loves to meditate with mom and dad and there is nothing quicker for enforcing bedtimes! Anecdotally, I can say it helps with his mild to moderate case of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.

As to the sound quality, it is excellent and Dr. Miller has a beautiful voice. Without a doubt and based on my personal experience, there is nothing better out there for easing stress. Because of this, I don't see any reason why it would not be effective in healing trauma (and you don't have to be a combat veteran to have that) and awakening your timeless presence.

excellent work and great content. at times i wish the audio quality of the recording were better, but you can still hear him speaking just fine.

Richard Miller is an expert in his field. His instructions are clear and genuine. I highly recommend his book and CD's. Yoga Nidra is a life altering and enhancing experience.
