Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique with which we learn to relax
deeply, yet consciously. For to relax absolutely we need to
remain aware. The searchlight of the senses is slowly encouraged
to shine within, back to its source. Through watching itself,
the mind quietens, yet becomes more translucent and receptive.
We can then sow new seeds of our choice, the Resolve, into the
bed of our mind, to create positive, harmonious change - seeds
to awaken hidden capacities such as inner confidence, harmony,
peace, and authenticity. With care, clarity and intent this
seed can grow to become a powerful creative force in our lives.
How Yoga Nidra Is Practiced:
Yoga Nidra is generally practised lying down(seated too is fine),
to aid the feeling of letting go. The surroundings need to be
quiet and free of disturbances. All that is needed then is the
willing to listen and follow the voice of the recording. The
voice will deliberately change its rhythm, tone and intent to
help maintain awareness of the listener and to facilitate the
bridge between the different realms of the mind.
Any time of day is fine and can be adapted to suit personal
needs. For example, the mind is fresher and more receptive in
the early morning to the practise, yet at nightime, before going
to bed, it could be used as an aid to help promote deep, restorative
sleep. As with lying down in general, it is best practised on
an empty stomach. Sessions can last anytime in between 20-60
mins.
A Typical Session Would Include:
- Preparation and relaxation of the body and mind to begin the
Yoga Nidra.
- Your resolve would then be repeated to impress it upon the
subconscious mind.
- The consciousness is then directed/rotated around all parts
of the body
- Awareness of the breath then follows (Pranayama).
- Next Opposite sensations and emotions are induced and experienced
at will.
- A visualisation will then follow, in the form of a journey,
guided imagery and symbols (the language of the unconscious
and intuition)
- The resolve is repeated again, as the soil of the mind is
now so much more fertile.
- Slowly, gradually the consciousness is re-externalised through
breath and body.
Benefits
The physical, mental and emotional benefits are vast, particularly
for those with stress-related problems, such as insomnia. Yoga
Nidra is best used as preventative medicine.
A single hour of Yoga Nidra can be as restful as 4 hrs of normal
sleep. In addition,
Yoga Nidra can provide a transition between working day and
home life.
It helps to integrate the two hemispheres of the brain, leading
to more mental and emotional stability. The highly beneficial
alpha waves of the brain are also stimulated and prolonged during
the practise.
Yoga Nidra is auseful aid to learning meditation, as the witnessing
nature of the self is developed. It can be used as a tool to
release/manage physical and emotional pain.
