Sleepy Yoga Nidra For Post-Traumatic Stress

Yoga nidra is a form of guided relaxation, typically practiced lying down. While yoga nidra means "yogic sleep," it usually isn't actually intended to put you to sleep... though this version is for just that. Get comfy, lie down in bed or on the couch or floor, and listen to this guided relaxation to drift off into sleep. The practice is approximately 20 minutes and ends without a call to "wake up," so the recording will stop when it's over and you may be asleep.

Some of the most common symptoms of post-traumatic stress are related to sleep: trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, and nightmares. If you find yourself alert when you'd rather be asleep, try on this guided relaxation that you can come back to any time.

Thank you for creating this while recognizing the traditionally yoga Nidra is not used for sleep that it can be. I fell asleep during the body scan (per usual). Appreciate the clear description as I often struggle to find tracks that don’t have a bell at the end.
