Book Reviews of Yoga Nidra Meditation CD: Extreme Relaxation of Conscious Deep Sleep
Book Review: Diving Deep Into Silence
Summary: 5 Stars
This CD is quiet and subtle. It leads the listener (meditator) into a deep restful meditative state. IMHO Music is not included because it would keep the mind of the meditator more active and distracted and thus not allow a state of deeper rest.
After the guided meditation, there are quiet periods on the CD. These quiet periods allow the mind to go deeper into its own spacious, silent meditation. True meditation is profoundly personal and is done in the stillness of ones own mind and heart.
This CD trusts your intutive wisdom, to lead you into the depths of your own shining silence.
Book Review: Disappointing. and rather boring.
Summary: 1 Stars
When I purchased this CD I thought it was by Swami Janakananda Saraswati. He has a CD that I absolutely love called "Experience Yoga Nidra" (see my other Amazon review). I was disappointed when I tried this CD, which I realize now is Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati. He talks in a monatone, no music or sounds and alot of silence and pauses. At some of the moments I thought something was wrong with my CD player ;o) This CD was boring for me and became rather irritating even when I put it away and tried it again later.
I guess my expectations were quite high after experiencing "Experience Yoga Nidra" with Swami Janakananda Saraswati. If you're looking for a really good Yoga Nidra CD, I would recommend his instead. I like his soothing voice, and lovely music and nature sounds. I use it time and time again and it is well worth the money.

Book Review: Awesome during Hatha Yoga class
Summary: 5 Stars
Swami J's Yoga Nidra CD adds a wonderful dimension to our Yoga classes. It is flexible in format. For example, after asana and pranayama practice, selections from the CD precede meditation. On other days, the guided yoga nidra is practiced in lieu of meditation. A few students share the following observations:
* "The 61 Points takes me into a deeper relaxation than I have ever before been able to experience," Insurance Agent
* "Spinal Breath is what I really love. Whoosh, whoosh, and the world is gone. It is a pure energy experience," Occupational Therapist
* "Upon facing surgery recently, I used the Yoga Nidra CD for relaxation. I listened to parts 2&3 the afternoon before surgery. The next morning I listened to parts 4&5 before leaving for the hospital. While in the pre-op area, I did my breathing practices. The nurses were teasing me about smiling, reminding me that I was going into surgery! I did great with no medication after surgery and enjoyed a relatively quick recovery. Yoga Nidra made all the difference," Retired teacher of gifted students.

Book Review: Yoga Nidra: An Excellent Guide to Deep Meditation
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been meditating daily for over 5 years, and find that Swami Jnaneshvara's guided 1 hour session will take me to a much deeper place than I am able to get to by myself. In a gradual, comfortable progression, the mind becomes increasingly quiet. One immediate benefit is deep relaxation and reduction of the stress caused by incessant thinking. A more profound benefit is the experience of being truly present and the logging of some time on the path to lasting inner peace.
