Stress Relief With Dr. Siddharth Ashvin Shah - Guided Meditation Using Self Hypnosis Techniques and Yoga Nidra Relaxation

I purchased this specifically for the longest session, the restorative yoga nidra. This one plays only to just after the four minute mark and not the full 28 minutes. This happens regardless of the device I use to play it.

I was having serious trouble sleeping due to the stress of writing my PhD dissertation. These guided meditations were the only thing that worked. Thanks Dr. Siddarth Ashvin Shah!!

I have to say that when I discovered this CD, i was at the edge of my sanity. Dr. Siddharth Shah has totally saved my mind. I have an extremely high stress job, as well as the normal stresses of my family life. I feel like my thoughts are a giant rubber band ball. I have to bounce from problem to problem and focus only on those issues. This CD helped to loosen a few of those rubber bands and give me some inner peace that just belongs to me. When these meditations are on, for a few minutes a day, my thoughts are still. This helps me put everything in perspective and makes it easier to face each day head on! I just have to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!

So helpful at night! This is the best collection I've found and will look for more by Shah.

I have a lot of stress between a full time job and being in a full time nursing program. I have recently had problems sleeping. This CD has allowed me to relax into deep sleep and makes me feel great. It is a totally positive experience. 5 stars!!!!

This series is saving my life at the moment. A massively stressful long-term project at work has totally sapped my ability to manage stress, and my insomnia has been ruthless. I may not have enough time to get in yoga and daily workouts lately, but I can definitely fit in two or three of these a day and it's making a huge difference already. I'm sleeping much better and feel more able to relax throughout the day.

The five tracks on Stress Relief, Vol. 1 include three shorter guided meditations, one longer meditation and a lengthy Yoga Nidra exercise, each designed to center you at specific times of the day. Creating sounds that are as beautiful as they are effective, Dr. Shah gently narrates instructions over a background of ocean waves and the gentle sound of swaramandala, a classical Indian zither.

This is a fascinating, very helpful aid for stress relief. Dr. Shah's interesting combination of cross-cultural knowledge is very effective. Anyone undergoing a lot of stress would seriously benefit from this.

This is a great start for my quest of having more calm and contentment in my life. I find that taking some time every day to take a deep breath and meditate has done a tremendous difference in my life. I like the way this CD was put together. Looking forward to future releases!

I find this recording very easy to follow and the instructions very simple and practical. Sometimes I don't have time to do longer meditations and I find the 10-15 minute range perfect for meditation. Also the touch of having ocean waves in the background is very nice.
