Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness where the subconsciousness and unconscious dimensions occur spontaneously.
It is is a powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. It is a systematic method including complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation.
The state of relaxation is reached by turning inward, away from outer experiences.
Â
A single hour of Yoga Nidra is as restful as four hours of sleep.
Difference between Yoga Nidra and meditation:
Yoga Nidra is a type of meditative practice, with one of the key intentions being to foster very deep relaxation.
Meditation, however, is focused on softening the mind, which then softens the body. Yoga Nidra softens the body first, which then allows the mind to soften.
Yoga Nidra is done by laying on the floor/mat/sofa/bed in savasana.Â
Covered by a gentle blanket & a pillow under the knees to support the lower back.Â
