Yoga Nidra For Gratitude

Yoga Nidra translates into English as “yogic sleep,” yet this does not tell us all that much. Yoga Nidra 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 begin to consciously gain access to this state.

These meditations themselves are a specific sequence of relaxation, meditation, and mindfulness techniques that help the body, mind, and emotions 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 listeners begin to cultivate a deep sense of gratitude for all of the blessings they have experienced in their lives. This is helpful to begin to appreciate the many gifts we take for granted and help us shift out of old mindsets that perpetuated stressful and anxious thoughts and beliefs and move in a new and more joyous direction.
