YOGA NIDRA for Deep Relaxation and Healing | The Wisdom Archives | #058
This Yoga Nidra guides you into a beautiful state of deep relaxation, allowing the body and mind to heal and repair.
Practice this healing meditation whilst doing your best to remain awake and attentive. Follow my guidance as you bring presence into each moment; and as you hold awareness as we move through the parts of the body and as you choose a sankalpa or intention, inspired by your deepest wisdom.
I began studying Yoga Nidra meditations some time ago after experiencing them for myself and feeling a deep sense of inner calm and stillness that I had not experienced in a very long time. Yoga Nidra is an ancient meditation technique explained as transformational sleep. It evokes within you brainwave states similar to those in sleep, where the biology of your body is able to disengage from thoughts.
After a time in these conscious sleep states, I would wake feeling deeply relaxed and at peace. I enjoy taking a Yoga Nidra break during my workday for some gentle guided practice that I know (and can feel) the offering of healing beyond what I am likely aware of.
The deep relaxation and positive benefits I received, inspired me create several of my own Yoga Nidra Meditations. I share one with you here. Enjoy the experience of this highly regenerative meditative state in which one can restore and rejuvenate the body, heal and recover from illness and re-wire our brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency.
Since most seated forms of meditation can be challenging; meditation for many beginners and for students in general, can be more about the effort or the result rather than the experience of the technique. In Yoga Nidra, the technique itself is composed of a series of body, breath, and awareness techniques designed to effortlessly guide you into a state of complete non-doing.
