What is Yoganidrā?

The practice of Yoganidrā is sometimes referred to Yogic or Psychic Sleep. It is a guided deep relaxation practice, where the body completely relaxes and the mind remains awake and aware. Often, due to our tired state, we fall asleep in Yoganidrā. Yet, as we make it a regular part of our life, we achieve that state of wakeful deep relaxation, where we can access the subconscious levels of our mind and assist us with healing or transformation. We do this through our Sankalpa (or intention).

Yoganidrā comprises different techniques. Examples are placing the attention or awareness in different parts of the body, suggesting mental images, rotation of consciousness, breath awareness, working with chakras, working with mind & emotions, images of the unconscious, guided journeys, visualizations, moving through the brain wave states and more. It utilizes all channels of communication - touch, proprioception, sight, hearing, speech and kinesthetic sense of moment - and as a result, the entire mind and brain become occupied and habitual thinking and thought patterns can then be reduced or eliminated.

The student may reach into areas of the body that may hold the memories, beliefs and thought patterns that are the root course of our dis-ease. By bringing awareness into these areas, deep tensions that hold beliefs patterns in place can be brought into awareness, resolved and released.

Other benefits include:

• Improved Sleep & Insomnia

• Detachment from Thoughts & Improve Clarity

• Self Awareness & Connection to Self

• Ability to develop, change or alter your routines & lifestyle for the better
