YOGA NIDRA: Guided Relaxation for Deep Peace and Healing Yoga Nidra – meaning dynamic yogic sleep – is a profoundly relaxing yet transformative practice. All that is required is to lie down and listen as you are guided through this ancient practice, which leads to inner freedom. Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of complete relaxation and peace, not only for the physical body, but also for the deeper emotional and mental systems; it works at the root of stresses, allowing the release of subconscious tensions and tendencies that inhibit us from living to our full potential.
Yoga Nidra brings us to a place of calm, quiet, and clarity. It is one of the deepest of all meditations that in fact goes beyond meditation, as our awareness is led through all levels of body, mind, and spirit into a state of supreme stillness and insight. Yoga Nidra is relaxing; however, it takes us far beyond relaxation alone, into the healing place and awareness of our true nature where we are always at peace.
During this session you will learn about Yoga Nidra in greater detail: what it is, the benefits and effects, and how to practice it. Our primary focus will be on experiencing Yoga Nidra firsthand.
You will need to find a place to sit or preferably lie down to listen as Jennifer guides you through the 8 Stages of Yoga Nidra that include: intention, body scan, breath and energy awareness, sensation perception, guided journey and return. You will arise well rested, peaceful and with clarity.
Research conducted in the last 30 years at well-recognized universities and medical centers including Stanford, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Ohio State University, Medical College of Ohio, Banaras University, show that regular Yoga Nidra practice offers a viable means of prevention and reversal of numerous ailments and diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stress, heart ailments, pain, insomnia and psychosomatic conditions.
