Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra, the name meaning “Sleep of the Yogi” produces a highly relaxed and profoundly deep state of meditation that progresses through the many stages of the mind. It is a journey through stillness and mindfulness which bestows great clarity, calmness, and serenity to the practitioner. This guided meditation is a powerful, rejuvenating and restful practice for inducing mental, emotional and physical relaxation with the power to increase our vast reservoirs of creativity, intuition and self understanding.

Yoga Nidra guides you through awareness of the entire body, sensations, emotions, and visualization journeys, using a systematic method developed thousands of years ago. This guided meditation takes you to the borderline “state of mind” between sleep and wakefulness and is the science of relaxation which enables us to dive deep into the realms of the sub-conscious mind.

Benefits of Yoga Nidra:

Yoga Nidra is being prescribed by doctors in many countries as a preventive and curative therapy of stress related diseases and is effective in the management of psychosomatic disorders. The calming of the mind provides effective relief of depression and deep rooted anxiety and aids in increasing the learning capacity. This meditation practice is the deepest state of sleep with conscious awareness and is an ancient Tantric Yoga practice that leads to inner freedom. It is a transformative practice where we learn to relax deeply, yet consciously. In order to relax completely, we need to remain aware. It is a transformative practice that leads to lasting psychological change and emotional and physical healing.

The practice increases our natural dopamine secretion, which is the body’s natural pleasure drug. The ultimate benefit is the opening of our awareness of our true nature where we experience unshakable calm and peace during our most difficult times.

This deep level of relaxation and guided imagery offers many scientifically verified benefits which have been experienced by practitioners through the ages. This guided meditation is practiced in a relaxed posture called Savasana.

While remaining completely awake, a 25 to 45 minute practice can feel like 3 hours of restful sleep, but provides many more benefits than regular sleep. Through this amazing practice, we go beneath the senses into the interconnecting energy and experience profound healing without drugs.
