Yoga Nidra To Regulate The Nervous System

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 promote nervous system regulation. This meditation will dampen sympathetic arousal and boost parasympathetic activity by stimulating the vagus nerve. Allow the intelligence of your body to return your nerve tissues back to optimal function. It’s time to rest and relax.
