Yoga Nidra for the Nervous System


Listen Later

This Fire Element Yoga Nidra meditation is designed to soothe, restore and reset your nervous system. Ailsa will guide you through intention, an inner resource practice, body sensing, breathwork, joy and awareness.
The Fire Element in yogic philosophy is linked to the Manipura Chakra.  This element is associated with your confidence, enthusiasm for life, the ‘fire in your belly’, your passion, inner strength, heat, power and transformation.  The Fire Element is also associated with digestion both physically but also how you process and digest your life.  When this element is unbalanced, we can become depressed, lazy, withdrawn, lacking motivation, irritable, angry and
aggressive.  The Fire Element can be an energising and uplifting element to explore, and therefore, this Yoga Nidra has been designed with the qualities of Fire in mind’ uplifting and inspiring, but with space to slow down, reflect and turn inwards.
Get cosy, and let yourself be guided by Ailsa's soothing voice to a state of deep rest and relaxation. Ailsa's voice is female with a soft Scottish accent and there is no music accompanying the meditation.
Relax back into this Yoga Nidra with Ailsa to support and calm the nervous system. This Yoga Nidra guided meditation is designed to utilise the systematic relaxation techniques used in Yoga Nidra to bring you into the parasympathetic division of the nervous system known as 'rest and digest'. Yoga Nidra is a technique of guided meditation that is completely effortless and accessible to all. Simply find a comfortable place to rest, relax back and just listen. The techniques used here will bring you into a deep light altered state of consciousness where you land somewhere between wakefulness and sleeping. It is here where one can disconnect from the thinking mind and rest back into a sense of your true nature. As the body undergoes healing and returns to homeostasis, emerge feeling grounded, rested, and more balanced.
Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation practised lying down that leads you into a healing and deeply restful state. Yoga Nidra has been shown to be effective in scientific trials for conditions including chronic pain, sleep problems, depression and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); while increasing health, resiliency and well-being. This practice, encompassing elements like body scans, stress relief, and anxiety reduction, provides an all-encompassing solution for concerns related to insomnia. The unique approach of Yoga Nidra is known for fostering non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) and can also be used to encourage the onset of sleep. Yoga Nidra serves as a form of sleep hypnosis, ushering you into a peaceful slumber or an invigorating nap as desired.
