The relaxation and meditation practices in this audiobook are designed to help teenagers meet the challenges of our competitive, high speed, highly technical world. When used regularly they will improve concentration, enhance creativity and, above all, deepen self-awareness and self-esteem. And they are very enjoyable to do. There are five practices in the audiobook.

In the three practices Gillian’s soothing voice guides you into beautiful spaces of inner peace that will relax, uplift and rejuvenate you. The first practice uses a breath awareness technique and is perfect for time-out recuperation during a busy day. The second practice is a classic half-hour whole body relaxation known as yoga nidra. The third is a sitting meditation practice with healing sounds and visualisations of inner light. All three practices are suitable for both experienced and inexperienced meditators and for people of any age, religious or spiritual persuasion.

Our externalised and mentally active lifestyles make meditation alluring but difficult. With this in mind, Gillian begins each of the two half-hour sessions with a deep relaxation practice that you are invited to do lying down. Releasing physical stress in your body and slowing down your mental activity then helps you to prepare you for your sitting meditation practice. These beautiful meditations are inspired by classic Buddhist techniques for stilling your mind and finding the inner peace and joy that awakens compassion for all beings.

Escape from tension and stress with these enjoyable and easy relaxation, deep breathing and meditation techniques. The first practice is a classic relaxation technique from the yoga tradition known as yoga nidra or psychic sleep. Gillian’s soothing voice guides into a healing semi-hypnotic state then rotates your awareness around your body, systematically letting go of tension. The second practice introduces a relaxing yoga breathing technique which helps to deepen your natural breathing and release stress.

In the first of the two yoga sessions in this audiobook, Gillian guides you through gentle stretches and simple yoga postures with special emphasis on your breathing. The exercises are interspersed with meditative pauses and accompanied by soothing classical music. The second yoga session introduces you to a deep breathing technique and then takes you into a state of deep relaxation where, with the help of sounds from nature, you are guided into the experience of being different animals.

The two half-hour practices in this audiobook take you into deeply healing states of relaxation. The first practice releases stress and revitalises your whole body by guiding you through four different patterns of yogic breathing. In the second practice, known as yoga nidra or psychic sleep, you gently rotate your awareness through your body, letting go of tension. In both practices your self-healing and relaxation response is deepened with the use of sound vibration and light visualisations.

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 audiobook 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.

On learning to relax and to meditate children sleep better, play more creatively, concentrate more effectively and have more self-confidence. The four sessions in this audiobook are designed for primary aged children but with encouragement preschool children will also find them enjoyable and beneficial. The first two sessions are relaxation practices and are best done lying down. With the help of relaxing music, breath awareness and visualisations, Gillian guides young listeners into experiences of deep relaxation.
