Yoga Nidra To Build Up Your Reserves Against Stress

Yoga Nidra translates into English as “yogic sleep." 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 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 promote the restoration of our reserves against stress. Yoga Nidra acts as a medicine that counteracts the effects of accumulated physical, mental, and emotional stressors. By relaxing each of the layers of our being, stored tension in the body and worries in the mind can more easily be cleared. Simultaneously, once we allow ourselves to rest deeply, we can meet our waking lives with calm excitement, and enthusiasm.
