What is Yoga Nidra?

Yoga means union and Nidra is the integrative sleep of the yogis. Yoga Nidra is a unique combination of alert awareness and deepest relaxation. Yoga Nidra techniques are designed to assist you to still the mind and enter into the deepest states of relaxation. Once the body is still and the mind calm your body can enter a zero stress free zone where your, organs, endocrine system, central nervous system can truly begin to restore itself. The benefits are innumerable and include-

Peaceful sleep
Clearer mind
Greater levels of energy and creative flow
A sense of well being
Proven Benefits-

Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels
In some diabetics, relaxation can reduce the need for insulin

Breaks the train of everyday thought and decreases the activity of the sympathetic nervous system

Yoga Nidra takes us beyond the faster beta waves of ordinary waking consciousness the ‘Doing’ states to the alpha and theta states of consciousness where we can access our ‘Being ‘states. Scientists recognize the fact that slower alpha brain waves are connected to deep relaxation, creativity and meditation. When slower brainwave states are present, we have access to the combined, balanced power of the logical left brain and the intuitive insightful right brain. This enables one to enter the highest centers of consciousness, where there is actualization of your intentions and healing power of affirmations and intentions.

Being stressed is Normal?
Often we are so busy, there is so much to do, so many responsablities,overload and overwhelm are the new Normal as is ‘running on empty’ .The overload of stress and stressful situations results in another new normal term ‘being stressed out’. Stress has a profound effect on the body; it affects the physical, mental and emotional. 
The sympathetic side of the nervous system is in a state of continuous alertness while the restorative side of the parasympathetic nervous system doesn’t get a chance to restore the body and bring it back into the natural balanced state of Homeostasis. 
We are now often connected to our technological devices which inhabit most of our waking hours. When we go to rest or sleep often we are so wound up that it is difficult to still the mind and let go of the day, the doing. 
This way of living prevents the body system from releasing toxins, stored in the organs and blocks the flow of clean life force energy through our central nervous system which feeds all our systems. The adrenals get run down, we develop a tierdness, irritability, depression leading to lack of energy and potentially developing into more chronic problems such as chronic fatigue, anxiety and diseases.
Yoga Nidra is the gift from the ancient yogis that gives us direct techniques to address bringing ourselves back into harmony with increased levels of energy. But Yoga Nidra is not merely a technique or relaxation exercise. It allows us to access a place, a space than can be entered through the techniques of breath a relaxation. Yoga Nidra is Mediative awareness, witness consciousness entering and connencting to the essence of you.
Ordinary sleep is a static condition, Yoga Nidra is a dynamic state
