In this special bonus episode of the Consciously Alive podcast, we delve into the practice of Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep. This technique offers a unique way to achieve profound relaxation and heightened awareness. Let’s explore the key aspects of Yoga Nidra and how it can benefit you.

Understanding Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a state of conscious sleep achieved while lying down. Unlike traditional sleep, where the mind is inactive, Yoga Nidra allows for deep relaxation while maintaining a level of awareness. This meditative practice helps in transcending the ordinary waking state.

Benefits of Yoga Nidra

1. Enhanced Relaxation: The practice facilitates deep relaxation, allowing you to release tension and stress. This state of relaxation can help calm the nervous system, promoting overall well-being.

2. Improved Sleep Quality: Regular practice of Yoga Nidra can significantly enhance your sleep quality. It helps regulate the sleep cycle, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

3. Energy Rejuvenation: Yoga Nidra is not just for nighttime. It can be a revitalising practice during the day, providing a quick way to recharge your energy levels without the need for caffeine or other stimulants.

4. Physical and Mental Benefits: The practice can reduce anxiety and improve focus, making it a valuable tool for those with busy minds. It also has physical benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and alleviating chronic pain.

How to Practise Yoga Nidra

• Find a Comfortable Position: Lie down in a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Use props like pillows or blankets to ensure you are comfortable.

• Set an Intention: Before you begin, set a personal intention or Sankalpa for your practice. This intention can guide your experience and enhance its effectiveness.

• Follow a Guided Session: Beginners often benefit from following a guided Yoga Nidra session. This can help you stay focused and fully immerse yourself in the practice.
