Mindful Relaxation: The Heart of Yoga Nidra

Most of us experience some degree of stress and many are too frustrated and exhausted to deal effectively with life’s pressures. Consumed by the mind’s chatter, we cannot appreciate the beauty and wonder of creation and we lose touch with the real purpose of our lives. Ed Shapiro trained with the originator of yoga nidra and draws upon the timeless wisdom of centuries of Eastern meditation teachings to offer and in-depth, easy-to-follow path to profound relaxation and relief. By following these techniques, we can truly still our minds, tapping into a tremendous inner source of richness and creativity and finding the freedom to realize our true potential.

There are many teachers of meditation, but there are few who can so effortlessly translate such profound and ancient techniques. An authentic, accessible, and enjoyable guide to relaxation.

This inspired book should be on every yoga practitioner’s shelf. I can vouch for yoga nidra’s brilliant effectiveness. Highly recommended!

Change can be transformative, but if we put it off, then we put living on hold, fixed in old ways of being. Ed Shapiro gives us the courage to embrace change. This is a necessary and timely book.
