Yoga Nidra Mind Awake Body Asleep. Today’s 40 minute Yoga Nidra invites you to remain awake and aware whilst your body deeply rests. You aren’t practising Yoga Nidra in the wrong way if you fall asleep, sometimes your body needs that rest but there is fountain of experience and insight to gleaned when you try to remain awake and aware throughout the entire duration of the Yoga Nidra. Often during a Yoga Nidra you move between various states of consciousness hence that feeling of waking up that can happen. Yoga Nidra actually leads you to the hypnagogic state, the state between waking and sleeping and extends the time there to beyond the 2 to 5 minutes that we experience when we fall asleep at night. And so, today’s Yoga Nidra invites you to try to remain awake and aware and see what you feel and experience and if you fall asleep, that is absolutely okay too, wherever you land is absolutely perfect.This voice only Yoga Nidra is designed to soothe, restore and reset your entire nervous system.

#forsleep

Join Ailsa for 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra to ignite your inner fire. This Yoga Nidra meditation will explore the Fire Element which in yoga philosophy is linked to your Solar Plexus Chakra. The Fire Element is related to our enthusiasm, motivation and self-confidence; it is the literal fire in our bellies. This Yoga Nidra is designed to help you explore the qualities of the Fire Element and the practice includes visualisation, body sensing, body awareness and breathing techniques (pranayama). Yoga Nidra helps to induce complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. This yogic sleep technique calms the nervous system and activates the parasympathetic response (rest and digest). This Yoga Nidra is designed to reset and reboot your whole nervous system. Lie down, relax and rest, while practising meditation. This Yoga Nidra aims to offer you anxiety relief, to induce a deep sense of inner peace and to calm stress. Allow Ailsa's soothing female voice to guide you through a deeply relaxing, restful and rejuvenating Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation practised lying down that leads you into a healing and deeply restful state. The practice of Yoga Nidra guides you through the layers of consciousness, or Koshas, as referred to in yoga philosophy. This short, 15 minute Yoga Nidra allows time to explore the physical and energetic layers of consciousness (or Koshas), with plenty of time at the start to settle into this guided relaxation. Yoga Nidra can be beneficial for conditions including chronic pain, adrenal fatigue, sleep problems, depression and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); while increasing health, resiliency and well-being. Even when practised during the day, Yoga Nidra can help to improve the quality of your sleep at night. Each Yoga Nidra on this channel is lovingly created by Ailsa and designed to be your haven of peace and tranquillity.
