Richard C. Miller Books

In The iRest Program for Healing PTSD, clinical psychologist and yogic scholar Richard C. Miller--named one of the top twenty-five yoga teachers by Yoga Journal--offers an innovative and proven-effective ten-step yoga program for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The deep relaxation meditations in this book will help readers overcome the common symptoms of PTSD, such as anxiety, insomnia, and depression, and maintain emotional stability so that they can return to living a full, meaningful life.

Focusing on the interpretation of Jesus' resurrection, the book argues that early Christians viewed the New Testament accounts not as literal events but as a representation of divine translation, a concept prevalent in Hellenistic and Roman myths. Richard Miller's insights challenge traditional perspectives and suggest that these narratives were understood differently in their historical context. This thought-provoking analysis has important implications for New Testament scholarship and is likely to stimulate debate among scholars in early Christianity and Classical studies.

The book presents a comprehensive ten-step yoga program designed to help individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Authored by clinical psychologist Richard C. Miller, it emphasizes deep relaxation meditations that address symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and emotional instability. The iRest protocol aims to heal unresolved traumas and promote emotional stability, supported by extensive research and endorsed by military health organizations. With applications in various settings, this program offers a pathway to reclaiming a fulfilling life free from the grips of PTSD.
