Also known as yogic sleep or sleep with awareness, Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice of guided meditation practiced while lying down. It is intended to induce a deep meditative state of consciousness, from where one consciously creates one’s healing. Deep relaxation is one of the spontaneous “side effects.” During Yoga Nidra the breath balances and becomes quiet, unconscious and conscious aspects of the mind reveal themselves, and we fall into an innate state of deep, blissful awareness. The remedy to our often exhausted, over stimulated world.
