Simple Yoga Nidra

Join me in this Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) practice for deep, deep rest and rejuvenation. This is a basic Yoga Nidra in which we rotate awareness throughout the body, assisting it to release more deeply by falling into a state of stillness and inactivity. To support disengagement of mind and conceptualized thinking, there are no visualizations or chatter beyond instruction. Space and silence are encouraged.

Nidra can facilitate deep healing beyond the mind by accessing the body's 'storehouse' aka. the seeds of all impressions (Samskaras) that give rise to our mental tendencies and behaviors. In this deep dreamless and receptive state, we have the invitation to override and transcend these tendencies.

Please grab a blanket if you tend to get cold to avoid disruption by changing body temperatures. If you can, practice in a still room (no breeze) to avoid external sensations on the body as this practice aims to facilitate Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses).

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.
