• Yoga nidra translates to yoga sleep. It is the subtle art making our body to sleep and taking a journey to the different dimension in order to gain stillness in the mind.

• Yoga nidra plants the seed on intention in the self which is the most fertile soil for manifestation.

• We need to give ourselves grace, meditation is not that serious. Meditation is just a single point concentration; it is more of you spending time with yourself.

• Meditation is not converting into any other religion.

• Meditation is weightlifting but for your brain.
