I’m so very honored to have as my guest... Dr. Richard Miller. Richard is a clinical psychologist, author, researcher and yogic scholar. He has devoted 47 years to integrating Western psychology and neuroscience with the Eastern nondual wisdom teachings of yoga, Taoism, Buddhism, and the Judeo-Christian traditions. Developer of the research-based Integrative Restoration iRest Meditation program, Richard is founding president of the Integrative Restoration Institute, cofounder of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, past founding president of the Institute for Spirituality and Psychology, and author of iRest Meditation, The iRest Program for Healing PTSD, and Yoga Nidra: The Meditative Heart of Yoga. Richard leads retreats and trainings internationally, emphasizing enlightened living in daily life.
In this episode, Richard and I discuss:
* What nondual means
* The physiological effects of trauma and how iRest addresses those
* Some fantastic analogies to help understand the mind
* Body sensing
