Praise for this book
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
