Deep Rest For Sleep Inspired By Yoga Nidra

A guided deep-rest practice inspired by Yoga Nidra, designed to support relaxation with the option to drift into sleep.

In this practice, selected elements of Yoga Nidra are used, including settling, intention (saṅkalpa), rotation of awareness through the body, breath awareness, and resting in inner space (cidākāśa). However, rather than maintaining wakeful awareness throughout, you are invited at the end to either remain resting or allow sleep to come naturally.

The emphasis is on easing mental effort, releasing physical tension, and creating the conditions for genuine rest.

Suitable for low energy days, stress, nervous system overload, or as a gentle preparation for sleep.
