Yoga Nidra To Relax 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 allows 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 relaxation of the nervous system. It will begin to activate a stronger parasympathetic response and increase vagal tone. That being said, give yourself to relax as this will happen on its own. Allow your mind to melt and merge into the experience of deep relaxation.
