Yoga Nidra; What is it?
Yoga Nidra is lying down meditation. It is a healing relaxation practice which encourages homeostasis in body and equanimity in mind.
But it feels like sleeping.
If you are exhausted or sick or overworked or sad or broken, or compulsively eating or your body is sore after a workout, it will help.
Hypervigilance anger anxiety damage and bad habits – holding tight to events and a flawed worldview robs us of our naturalness. We can no longer trust, allow or be vulnerable. We put on masks.
Yoga Nidra is super effective rest. Twenty minutes of Yoga Nidra gives you 4 hours of wellbeing and producitveness.
It rehabilitates your nightime sleep. It matures your psychology. It reinstates your goodness.
Over time it will revive you, resuscitate you to who you really are and prepare you for your real life.
If you want to keep going for a really long time in good shape, you need effective rest. Whether you are a parent, or a sportsperson or a CEO or someone who is chronically ill. All high achievers are after this optimum functioning, this best self. This high level functioning is provided in form as continuous constant unbroken awareness, undisturbed by misgivings. This is meditation.
