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 CD 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 visualizations. 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. In the third session Gillian's soothing voice guides you through a combination of breathing techniques, gentle bed exercises and whole body relaxation. Your mind and body are gradually released from stress and anxiety and you drift into a state of deep relaxation that invites sleep.

Dr Gillian Ross has a dedicated following and is a well-respected author of books on spirituality and self transformation as well as many relaxation, meditation and yoga CDs.
