The Art of Transformational Sleep

By: Kamini Desai PhD

Narrated by: Siiri Scott

Length: 15 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's summary

Yoga nidra is the master key to initiating shifts in conscious sleep states where change happens outside of doing. In yoga nidra, you enter a state of non-doing in which transformation happens from beyond the mind rather than through the mind. In this highly regenerative meditative state, you can restore and rejuvenate your body, heal and recover from illness, and rewire your brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency.

This comprehensive guidebook explores the core of Yogic philosophy and modern applications of yoga nidra backed by scientific research - affirming what Yogis have known for thousands of years. You will receive instruction on the practice of yoga nidra and the use of intention. You will discover how unconscious thinking patterns and resulting biochemical states contribute to ill health, stress, insomnia, depression, anxiety, bad habits, trauma, and addictions and most importantly, how to neutralize them with the six tools of yoga nidra.

Excellent reading and listening!

Highly recommend this wonderful, informative book on Yoga Nidra. Eye opening for further learning on Yoga Nidra meditation technique and underlying principles! Very interesting!

Discovering Yoga Nidra

I was my first encounter with Yoga Nidra. I began to read it for a practice in my yoga classes. It really open my eyes to a different kind of yoga, that I found fascinating . Practicing it help me get into a self relaxation, After any practice I feel renewed
It also has many psychologist explanations and solving problems ideas. Sometimes I found it a bit repetitive but It help me to understand better the philosophy of it. I have already recommended to my yogis friends

Amazingly informative

Enjoyed and was impressively informative. Thank you. Enjoyed and was impressively informative. Thank you again.

Thorough

I really liked how thoroughly she covered the subject. Very professional. It drew me in!

Perfect for learning the "how to" of Yoga NIDRA

Negative reviews about the narrator untrue, NIDRA should be calm and relaxing. Well done.

I have learned so much

thank you it is a great guide to me and others.
a good selection and must have.

Great book horrible narrator!

I own this book, loved it, and purchased the audio as well. I should have listened to the sample and, if I had, would not have purchased the audio. The content is fantastic and I highly recommend reading it. I found the narration to be quite difficult to listen to. Ms. Scott reads in an excessively slow fashion. To me, there is no way this book should take over 15 hours to read. Ms. Scott also enunciates in an annoyingly protracted way, as if she's directing her words to individuals whose second language is English, not their first. If this type of narration is acceptable to you, you're in for a lengthy audio, and may indeed enjoy it just as it is. I double-timed the pace to 2.0 and finished the book in half the time. The final part of the book is a guided yoga nidra meditation and Ms. Scott's narration at 1.0 pace was okay for that. Sorry to be so negative about the narration - because the book itself is outstanding - but I stopped and started it several times before moving the pace to 2.0. I recommend that anyone considering purchasing the audio listen to the sample first.

Going within to reconnect!

I liked the education, reconnecting to self and making this a healthy consistent practice/habit.
I truly enjoyed the practice at the end!

Haters gonna hate

Yes, the narrator's voice is difficult, but the content is great, not easy to find such detail online, at the end there is the best yoga nidra practice i have ever heard, its really good if you really wanna learn.

Terrible reader

I am very interested in this subject. I I’ve been reading and listening to several sources on the topic of Yoga Nidra, but her voice was so annoying I could not get through the second Chapter. The reader over emphasized words and over dramatized the text. It was very distracting and irritating.
