Join Richard Miller in this lively discussion on YogaSpirit (www.yogaspirit.ca) of the ancient transformative tantric meditative practice of Integrative Restoration – iRest Yoga Nidra (yoga = embodying what is timeless + nidra = across all states of consciousness) that leads to psychological, physical and spiritual healing. The ultimate design of iRest is to help us live awakened and contented lives, free of conflict, anxiety, fear and suffering. The protocol is integrative, as it heals unresolved traumas that are present in the body, mind and senses; and restorative, as it reveals our inherent ground of unchanging pure Being that is always whole and healthy even in the midst of the changing events or traumas of daily life.
Richard’s modern adaptation of yoga nidra for the western world, which he calls Integrative Restoration - iRest is a secular practice consisting of 20-35 minute sequences, which emphasize:
* Awareness of the physical body and breath
* Systematic desensitization to neutralize and resolve negative sensation, stress, emotion, belief, image and memory
* An experience of joy and well-being
* The embodiment of equanimity amidst the changing circumstances of life

* Heal through trauma
* Experience a sense of mastery when encountering difficult situations
* Awaken to and embody the unchanging state of wholeness that pervades every moment of daily life and ultimately
