Yoga Nidra is a guided lying-down meditation that induces deep relaxation and peaceful states of awareness. Research highlights how structured rest can release cumulative stress from the body and brain, reduce inflammation and down-regulate stress, while harnessing the body and brain’s natural abilities to heal and recover.
Practiced regularly, Yoga Nidra can restore balance to the nervous system, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, reduce symptoms of chronic pain and chronic illness, promote healthy brain chemistry and hormonal regulation, and establish a sense of inner balance, mental clarity, and self-compassion.
Each Deep Rest Session includes a “sound bath”:” a music therapy experience that uses vibration and sound waves to foster soothing meditative states that bring a sense of ease and renewal to the body, heart, and mind. Music has been used for its therapeutic effects for thousands of years, and more recently studies have demonstrated that sound therapy can reduce blood pressure and inflammation in the body, boost mood and energy levels, reduce state anxiety and stress, bring the nervous system into better balance, reduce symptoms of fatigue and depression, and reduce perceived physical pain in the body. Sounds used include koshi chimes, crystal singing bowls, Tibetan 7-metal bowls, and singing or vocalization.
These sessions are particularly helpful for those working through major life transitions, grief, trauma, overwhelm, acute illness or injury recovery, caregiving, and any major life challenges and changes.
Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.
