Join Ailsa for 10 minutes of Non Sleep Deep Rest (or NSDR) Yoga Nidra. During this Yoga Nidra practice, you are invited to work with an intention, or Sankalpa, that is personal to you. You can work with an existing intention or one of the intentions I offer during the Yoga Nidra practice or, if you have more time, you can create your own using the information presented in one of my videos 👉 https://youtu.be/6XVnvvy7AYc. As well as exploring your Sankalpa, this Yoga Nidra will invite you to use breath awareness and body sensing techniques to help you rest, relax, untangle stress and enrich your life with the profound practice of meditation.

Today’s Yoga Nidra is designed to stimulate the Vagus Nerve, which can help to relax the body, calm the mind, and activate the rest and digest nervous system response. A healthy vagal tone can have wonderful benefits for autonomic nervous system health, as well as mental health and well-being.This voice only Yoga Nidra is designed to soothe, restore and reset your entire nervous system. 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.
