Yoga Nidra For Balance And Equinimity

This long Yoga Nidra practice focuses on the exploration of opposite qualities. By bringing the awareness to opposing qualities, and then experiencing them together, we move into a non-dual or liminal state of awareness, beyond either one thing or another, and the mind experiences deep relaxation. This technique allows us to neuralise the charges of preference and aversion that we tend to hold with opposites and experience them in a more balanced, equinimous way. Opposite qualities in this relaxation include heavy/light, hot/cold, stillness/movement and wholeness/separation, and tìhe exploration of the left and right sides of the body.
