40-Minute Yoga Nidra To Deepen Concentration

Yoga Nidra translates into English as “yogic sleep,” and it refers to both a state of consciousness - one that is different from the waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states - as well as different styles of guided meditations that allow us to gain access to this state. These meditations help the entire being to slowly and gently become more still and silent.

This particular yoga nidra is based on the Amrit style of yoga nidra, and its goal is to promote heightened states of focus while the body and mind are deeply relaxed. By engaging the mind with a rotation of consciousness and gently controlled breathing exercises, we train it to remain present and in the moment. With compassion, we guide the mind back to the now, and we can then use the concentration we effortlessly cultivate in yoga nidra during our waking life.
