On this Rest and Relax Cd, Wai Lana talks you through two relaxation techniques, followed by a restful meditation. These ancient techniques can relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. They will also help you overcome insomnia, enabling you to slip into deep and sound sleep. The calming voice and soft music will ease your mind, relax your body, and soothe your spirit.

NAPRA ReView: As part of a trilogy, Rest and Relax introduces two specific relaxation techniques. “Free Your Mind” familiarizes us with gauranga breathing, which calms the mind as you chant “gau-ra-an-ga” with each inhalation and exhalation. A challenge at first, this is a powerful, visceral experience. “Relax Your Body” utilizes yoga nidra to effectively relax the body from the toes up. Track 3, “Soothe the Soul,” calls upon gauranga and invites the soul into the complete state of relaxation already realized by the mind and body. Hypnotic musical strains accompany these three tracks and move the practitioner seamlessly through the sessions. Also in the trilogy: Yoga Music of the Heart and Yoga Sound™.
