"Yoga Nidra"
Yoga Nidra is a technique of guided meditation that is based on ancient Indian practices of Yoga and Tantra. It is also known as yogic sleep, as it induces a state of deep relaxation that is akin to sleep, while still maintaining a conscious awareness.
The practice involves lying down in a comfortable position and following a series of verbal instructions that guide the practitioner into a state of deep relaxation. During this process, the practitioner is led through various stages of relaxation, visualization, and self-awareness exercises.
The practice of Yoga Nidra has been found to be beneficial in reducing stress, anxiety, and insomnia. It is also believed to improve the quality of sleep, enhance creativity, and promote inner peace and calmness.
Yoga Nidra is often practiced as a standalone meditation technique, but it can also be used as a complement to other yoga practices such as asana and pranayama. It is a simple and effective practice that can be done by anyone, regardless of their age or level of fitness.
