    Yoga Nidra is a deep relaxation technique that involves consciously directing one's awareness to different parts of the body while the physical body remains still. It is practiced by lying down in a relaxed position and focusing on bodily sensations, breath, emotions, and guided visualizations in response to an instructor's prompts. The goal is to achieve a state of self-awareness beyond ordinary sleep by withdrawing the senses from external objects. A typical Yoga Nidra session lasts 20-40 minutes and concludes by invoking a positive resolution to direct the unconscious mind.

    What Is Yoga Nidra?

    Yoga Nidra is becoming more popular as many people are searching for a method which is
    guaranteed to liberate them from stress. Yoga Nidra is such a technique, not only for physical
    or mental relaxation but as a spiritual practise which withdraws the senses from sense-objects
    and leads one towards self-realisation as a result.

    Sleep is not necessarily relaxation, because tension cannot always be resolved completely
    during ordinary sleep. Yoga Nidra is a qualitatively different relaxation. It is a 'sleep' where all
    stresses and worries are cast off to attain a more peaceful state of awareness, a relaxation
    much deeper and more nourishing than that which can be achieved during ordinary sleep.

    Yoga Nidra Practice

    Usually it takes from 20 to 40 minutes to complete a Yoga Nidra session. The student lies on
    his or her back in totally relaxed manner. Eyes are lightly closed, arms are kept with palms
    facing upwards and fingers are half lifted from the ground, breathing is natural and quiet.

    The various steps or sequences involve many or all of the following:

    Resolve or Sankalpa

    Before the rotation of consciousness a positive resolve is decided upon. This could be anything
    that will benefit the well-being of the practitioner or of others. For example:

    ● I resolve to live with an open heart

    ● I forgive myself and others


    ● I lovingly accept myself and others, just the way they are
    ● My one goal is inner peace

    Rotation of Consciousness / Awareness

    The meditator simply visualises the part of the body mentioned by the instructor, be that a
    teacher or recording. The student must not move any part of his body. Quickly corresponding
    with the instructions, he or she has to shift his or her awareness from one part to the next. The
    student should not imagine the next part before the instructor mentions it. The whole process
    is pleasurable and no effort is required.

    The usual pattern is to start focusing awareness in the following sequence:

    First, the right side:

    The thumb, fingers (one by one), palm of the hand, then the wrist, the forearm, the elbow,
    arm, shoulder, right back, hip, thigh, knee, leg, ankle, foot, great toe, other toes of the right
    foot.

    The same sequence is repeated for the left side.

    Then awareness is focused on the proximity of with the carpet (ground). Back of the head,
    shoulders, back and spine, thighs, heel. Next the front of the surface is brought in to
    awareness. Face, brow, eyes, nose, lips, mouth, ears, chin, neck, chest, abdomen.

    Breath Awareness

    After rotation the rotation of consciousness in such a sequence, focusing attention on the act of
    breathing completes physical relaxation. One simply maintains awareness of breath, either at
    the nostril or of its passage through the navel and throat.

    Feelings and Emotions

    Next comes relaxation at the level of feelings and emotions. Intense physical and emotional
    feelings are recalled. Usually this is practiced with pairs of two opposite feelings like hot and
    cold, lightness and heaviness, pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow, etc.

    Visualisation

    The final stage of yoga nidra relates to mental relaxation. The student tries to visualise the
    objects as described by the instructor. This is often facilitated by the narration of a guided
    visualisation of a journey of some kind.

    The practice helps to develop self-awareness and helps in concentration.

    Ending The Practice

    Once again the resolve is invoked and mentally repeated with feeling three times. Thus,
    consciously one tries to direct the unconscious mind about the goal in life. A resolve made at
    the level of awareness facilities during Yoga Nidra is much more effective than one which is
    made at the normal level of consciousness.

    Yoga Nidra also helps harmonise the left and right hemispheres of the brain and the two
    aspects of autonomous nervous system - sympathetic and parasympathetic.

    Yoga Nidra Meditation or Yogic Sleep is a simple method of achieving deep relaxation by
    'putting the body to sleep' whilst remaining consciously aware. It is also a form of meditation -
    a gateway to the experience of the 'I' - the True Self.

    Even those who claim to be unable to relax having previously tried various other methods find
    success with Yoga Nidra. This is largely because no effort is required during the process, only
    the following of a simple set of instructions.
