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 help reduce nervousness and anxiety. By bringing focus inward, especially with the 61-points technique, we will capture the attention of the roaming mind and bring it home. Thoughts will naturally slow down and become more orderly as we come back to sensations within the body. You are most welcome to follow me on Insight Timer to listen to even more relaxing yoga nidras.
