Yoga Nidra Meditation

To experience Hatha Yoga Nidra Meditation is to sleep like a yogi or yogini.

It's a deep meditation bringing about calmness, peace, and clarity. It eliminates the root cause of stress and disease. It invigorates you and gives you vital energy. Some relate this natural, altered state to Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy.

For example, when you're in your usual deep sleep state, you have closed your eyes, and turned off your senses.

In Nidra Meditation you are in a conscious deep sleep. You have turned off your five senses but your attention is within your own body and focused on your breath.

Another example is when you are awake and functioning in the world, you intellectualize, do comparisons, and so on.

In Nidra Mediation, you do not do any of these things. You just focus within your own body and your breath.

So, the two main principles are...

1. inner awareness and

2. your breath.

Yoga Nidra is also known as psychic sleep and dynamic sleep.

The Mind

The mind was made to think. When you try to subdue the mind, turn it off, it becomes restless. In Nidra meditation, you give the mind something great to focus on within yourself, not something external. You make it one-pointed.

Again, we use the two main principles to do this --

inner awareness and the breath.

It's much more than one of the best relaxation exercises to perform.

Samskaras

Samskaras are recordings of your lifelong experiences stored in layers of your inner consciousness. There are also deeper Samskaras that can be latent and unconscious.

To experience Nidra Meditation is to penetrate these layers and eliminate these Samskaras...

• reshapes your personality and direction in life

• aids in the elimination of old habits and unconscious patterns

• trains the mind to access the full power of the subconscious and non-conscious mind

Sankalpa

How do we train the mind?

The most effective way is making a firm resolution called Sankalpa - pure intention. It's a short mental statement that you impress on the subconscious mind when in an open and receptive state during Nidra Meditation. Like sowing a seed and watering it.

Here, we'll call them positive affirmations.

In Yoga, there are three main energy channels or Nadi's:

• Ida -- mental energetic force

• Pingala -- vital energetic force

• Sushumna -- spiritual energetic force

Ida and Pingala Nadi's continually give the brain and mind stimuli so that it can function through the senses. During Yoga Nidra Mediation, the Sushumna Nadi is activated. This gives the brain a higher quality of stimuli.
