" We are what we seek and
what we seek is already here."   
- John Vosler -

Yoga Nidra is both an ancient and modern guided meditative inquiry also called a guided mindfulness practice.  Nidra (which literally means sleep) invites us to find a very comfortable restorative position (the yoga nidra nest) and simply flow with the facilitator's words. 

Yoga Nidra takes us on a journey through the dimensions of our being, the 5 koshas (the physical body, the breath, the mind and emotions, our innate wisdom and bliss), effortlessly guiding us into a state of non-doing.  

Ultimately, it is designed to experientially restore our knowing of True Nature.  

Studies have shown that Nidra elicits brain waves at each stage:  it takes us from the beta waves of wakefulness into the subtler alpha, theta and delta waves of dream and deep sleep.  Here, we are however conscious.  It is in that liminal space, the in between where creativity, problem solving, emotional integration, and deep states of consciousness can be accessed.

Not unlike meditation, Yoga Nidra is a self-regulation practice, i.e. it increases our ability to regulate our inner states, feelings and emotions as a response to outer circumstances.  Our tolerance toward change increases and our resistance and reactivity lessens.  We know where we belong. 

As a long time meditator I find this practice refreshing, soothing, grounding and deeply nourishing. 

The benefits that have been studied and that I observe in myself and in the people I work with are:

*  reduced muscular, mental and emotional tensions
*  decreased anxiety and symptoms of PTSD
*  increased relaxation and stress reduction
