About this listen

Essential Practices for Resilient Well-Being

Based on a modern evolution of the ancient practice of Yoga Nidra, the easy-to-learn iRest program provides a flexible toolbox of meditation practices that you can incorporate into your lifestyle to carry you through adversity. In these six audio sessions, Dr. Miller takes you step by step through a progressive series of guided exercises for managing stress utilizing the breath and body, decoding and balancing your emotional state and connecting you with deep inner resources that replenish your vital energy and sustain you regardless of your circumstances.

"The practices in this program teach you how to respond rather than react to challenging situations and emotions," says Dr. Miller, "allowing you to experience all of life with unshakeable inner peace, mental clarity, and a harmonious relationship with the world around you."

Thus Book Can Transform Your Life

I absolutely love the easy-to-follow practices in this book! I began this book after the 2016 election and it has enabled me to gain a better perspective about my place in the world. I have used it to fine tune my daily spiritual self-care and highly recommend it to all my friends.

Simple and effective stress reduction

This is a nice, clean meditation guide for those prone to PTSD without much baggage or spiritual orientation. On the other hand, being bereft of a soulful foundation, it can be a bit dry. I did not mind the trade off.

The Best Resource on Yoga Nidra

Richard Miller is one of my favorite teachers on the topic of meditation and yoga. This program is a perfect example of the depth and breadth of his teachings.

This audio program covers SO MUCH ground in meditation and mindfulness. There are ten techniques and concepts covered in depth, and each concept is demonstrated with a 10-20 minute meditation practice.

There is one final extended practice that combines all ten of the concepts and techniques, and I absolutely love the long practice. This program is worth the purchase for the long practice alone.

This is fantastic for anyone wanting to get solid, authentic, effective meditation information WITH practical application. If you want to learn meditation, or deepen your practice this is for you.

It’s rare to find meditation material that is universally beneficial for beginners and seasoned meditators. It’s also rare that a guided meditation program be so rich in information.

This is a masterpiece, and a must have for anyone wanting to learn, practice, or teach meditation.

It is also a must have for anyone wanting to soothe the nervous system, and enjoy the pure bliss of yoga nidra with SEVEN hours of guidance from Richard Miller.

A Postive For Stress Management & PTSD

Miller is both the author and narrator for this six part educational program specifically geared towards people suffering with PTSD. That said--the program would also be appropriate for anyone wanting meditation instruction with a focus on strengthening, stabilizing, and working with reducing and coping with all types of stress.

Miller developed the program for the US government to be used with soldiers and military personnel suffering from PTSD. The teachings are drawn from ancient Tibetan theory and practice but have been striped down to their bare essentials. This makes the information accessible to a wide range of backgrounds and belief systems. To put it bluntly, all the "woo-woo" has been removed. The listener gets solid, helpful and practical advice on working with stress and increasing resilience.

My favorite aspect of the program is that the end goal is to learn the practice and to be able to work the exercises on your own without the need to listen to the recording. Hence, self-reliance is built into the program. Much of this is based on presenting the listener with alternative or new ways of thinking and processing feelings.

A positive and easy to use program that I think is excellent for stress management with or without PTSD. Recommended listening.

Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful life practice that has helped/is helping me heal from early childhood traumas. I have been practicing for several years and continually revisit these resources. I deeply appreciate these life lessons.

Pretty good. But not for beginners

I have a feeling beginners 'might' feel overwhelmed by this. If this is your first foray into mindfulness meditation, then I'd go very slowly. This isn't really the type of book you read in a day anyway. Plenty of good stuff in here. A mixture of both meditation and psychology. I noticed aspects of CBT and even DBT in some of the meditations. There's also some more traditional style meditations. Nothing weird in here that would scare off the average westerner. If you're looking for something to help you overcome anxiety or depression, there are better options. I'd suggest this for people with stress or even trouble sleeping at night. The final meditation in this is a great one for right before bed or even in it. It will take most people a while to master this program completely. Don't let that scare you away. That said, I still think this is an ideal SECOND book on meditation with another option being your introduction.

I love iRest

Content is great. The chapters should be renamed to more than just numbers and rearranged so you can easily find when the lectures and guided practices start

useful and peaceful meditation practice

I enjoy going back again and again especially for the meditations in the last two chapters. I fall asleep at night with this meditation playing and feel I sleep more peacefully. the narration is easy to listen too and flows naturally.

Great therapy for ptsd

I have been struggling with depression and have had all the worst stuff been going on in my brain for too long. It’s been too long that I have been looking for the right words... in the right tone.... for the right reasons... for some peace and clarity in my life.

This iRest work has helped me get a grip on my feelings and it provides calming of anxiety and depression.

Thank God for this healing work!!
