Yoga Nidra is a practice and also a state of consciousness. The practice becomes about complete and total relaxation of your body, while maintaining awareness. The state of consciousness is reflective in an alpha/theta brain state where the inner world becomes more real then the outer world. In this state, healing happens, manifestation of thought (sankalpa) happens, and a taste of pure awareness happens. If you use Yoga Nidra for sleep, it is like you are sitting on top of a treasure chest...yet never opening it up. The key to your inner castle lies within your attention to the silence.
