Om Shanti Shanti Shanti - Peace Peace Peace

Yoga Nidra is often referred to as Yogic Sleep or Transformational Rest and it is a progressive meditative relaxation technique that naturally slows your brainwave states to those similar in sleep. This meditation style is effortless so you can rest easily and deeply into a space where thoughts are free to come and go and you can feel fully relaxed and well-rested. Throughout the practice, you’re consciously providing extra comfort and relaxation throughout the physical, mental, and emotional body soothing the brainwaves to regulate into a resting, calm, peaceful state that has been shown to help with insomnia, stress, grief, depression, anxiety, and symptoms from PTSD. 

Thank you so much for listening.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti - Peace Peace Peace

This 35 minute Yoga Nidra meditation is for those dark times of deep sorrow and sadness.  Yoga Nidra is backed by science as a way to become less emotionally reactive and to balance the nervous system.  Yoga Nidra is not a yoga practice, it is translated to Yoga Sleep, and is usually done by lying down or finding rest in a comfortable and supported seated position. Prior experience is not necessary.
