A Whole Different Understanding of Sleep

What did you love best about The Yoga of Sleep?

I loved that Naiman gave me a whole different understanding about sleep, especially the understanding it as a different state of consciousness. In the past, whenever I woke up at night, I immediately began thinking. But Naiman explains that thinking is part of the conscious world, so I have begun to treasure sleep not as merely lack of consciousness, but a rich world with it's own values.

Review of the Yoga of Sleep

A wonderful presentation full of useful, applicable concepts. The second half of the audio would benefit from being structured into individual chapters for each practice. That would make it easier to go back and listen to a single practice at a time. Overall, I loved the material, the pace, and the tone. My personal relaxation practices, and those of my clients, will benefit me self from this information, and these simple yet profound practices. Thank you.
