“ Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation and Stress Relief is a very comprehensive study of the positive effects that yoga has on combating the stress and tension we all hold on to. It is a well-organized and very practical guide. The personal stories clearly demonstrate how yoga directly decreases stress and why. The questionnaire is a great tool for personally guiding the reader toward the path of stress reduction. Once our stressors and symptoms are identified, we are more equipped to conquer them. Julie Lusk has created a book that describes the philosophy, physiology, and spirituality of yoga, and directly connects this to stress reduction. It is an extremely valuable and interesting book from beginning to end. I highly recommend it to anyone who is seriously interested in managing the stress both in their personal and professional lives.”
— Don R. Powell, PhD ,president and CEO of the American Institute for Preventive Medicine
“Yoga nidra is a very effective and useful tool to relieve daily stress, to promote deep healing, to reprogram subconscious negative patterns, and to release energy blocks that prevent us from growing physically and spiritually. In this book, Julie Lusk provides a very good and elaborate description of its benefits, how it works, and the technique to practice it. A recommended book for anyone.”
— Krishna Darshan (Alan Wiuker) , direct disciple of Swami Vishnu-Devananda, teacher of yoga teacher training courses, Vedanta philosophy, and Vedic Astrology at the International Sivananda Ashrams since 1986
“Yoga nidra is the art and science of relaxing consciously and deeply to reveal one’s true Self. It streamlines and magnifies the powerful benefits from meditative practice, traditional yoga, and conventional yoga postures by combining the essence of each into one discipline. In a beautiful way, Julie Lusk has brought to our awareness how this powerful synthesis is clearly possible and provides proven methods. … It is as energizing as it is healing.”
— Donna Eden and David Feinstein, coauthors of The Energies of Love and Energy Medicine
