43-Minute Yoga Nidra For Compassionate Self-Awareness

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 compassionate self-awareness. By developing a witness perspective, we can less harshly judge ourselves and simply become aware of our internal dialogues. With repeated practice, we can then intentionally show ourselves true kindness and grace until it becomes the new default.
