On those long nights when your mind is racing and the clock slowly ticks its way to dawn, sleep seems unattainable and precious. The three sessions on this audiobook offer time-honoured skills from the yoga tradition that will help you to enjoy a natural, nourishing night’s sleep. In the first session you learn to calm your mind and relax your body using a deep breathing technique with visualisations. The second session is a deep relaxation practice known as yoga nidra, or psychic sleep. It is used here as a self-hypnosis strategy for inducing sleep.

Enter a university department today and ask to study wisdom, and you will politely but firmly be shown the door.

What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins - the mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action - your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you.

The three relaxation practices available here complement each other. Used in sequence, they are designed to gradually awaken the relaxation response in even the most anxious and highly stressed people.

You begin to experience yourself as a harmonious whole. This is a profoundly healing state of being.

Track one introduces energising breathing techniques and includes a sequence of gentle movements using the breath to both relax and strengthen your back. Track two is a deep relaxation practice known as yoga nidra in which you lie on your back and rotate your awareness passively through your body, allowing it to relax.

In the first of the two yoga sessions in this audiobook, Gillian guides you through gentle stretches and simple yoga postures with special emphasis on your breathing. The exercises are interspersed with meditative pauses and accompanied by soothing classical music. The second yoga session introduces you to a deep breathing technique and then takes you into a state of deep relaxation where, with the help of sounds from nature, you are guided into the experience of being different animals.

In both practices your self-healing and relaxation response is deepened with the use of sound vibration and light visualisations.
