Relaxation For Sleep

'Gillian's CDs are fantastic. They have a dual purpose for me. I use them during the day to give me more energy and at night to help me to sleep. I look forward to putting one on when I come home from work. It is amazing how rejuvenating a 20 minute relaxation session with Gillian can be.' - Helen Miller

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 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. 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.

Track Listing: Session 1: Deep Conscious Breathing. Session 2: Yoga Nidra. Session 3: Alternate Nostril Breathing; Bed Exercises; Whole Body Relaxation.
