Yoga nidra, or “yogic sleep”, is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping in which the body, mind, and emotions are completely relaxed yet the practitioner remains fully conscious. This deep, relaxing state is achieved through guided breathing exercises and simple instructions, such as visualizations or body scans, usually while lying down comfortably. During yoga nidra, one’s brain is immersed in the healing waves of the alpha state, where one’s subconscious mind is open to healthy and positive suggestions, and where deep relaxation aligns their nervous systems to restore the body and mind to homeostasis, manifest desires with intentions and affirmations, and even liberating oneself from their karma. The practice of yoga nidra has been known to reduce stress, anxiety, and tension, as well as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
