Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation & Stress Relief
Saturday, October 17th 10am - noon What is Yoga Nidra? In a nutshell, Yoga Nidra is a deeply relaxing, healing and empowering form of guided meditation, done lying down. No yoga experience is needed for this deeply enriching practice. The word Nidra means sleep, however it is far from the unconscious, "checked out" version of sleep you might think of normally. On the contrary, Yoga Nidra is actually a state of consciousness in which the practitioner is deeply relaxed, nearing sleep, yet remains awake and aware. What happens in Yoga Nidra? Described as “dynamic sleep,” the Yoga Nidra practice allows the body to deeply relax while the mind stays inwardly alert. ... Yoga Nidra guides practitioners into the “hypnagogic state”—the threshold between alpha and theta waves—the knife's edge where the body “sleeps” while the mind is lucid. What is the difference between Yoga Nidra and meditation? Yoga Nidra is for systematically relaxing the body and mind while maintaining awareness. It's done on the floor on your back for the best effects. Meditation is for training the mind using a particular point. It is done sitting up, spine tall to facilitate movement of prana. What are the benefits of Yoga Nidra? * Reduces Your Stress. * Brings Joy into Your Life. * Connects with Yourself. * Yoga Nidra counteracts stress and prescribed by General Practitioners in many countries. * Provides effective relief for depression and long-standing anxiety. * It is an efficient way to obtain sleep. * Clears the mind for learning and absorbing new material.
