Relax & Restore with Yoga Nidra

If you find yourself struggling through restorative practices such as lying down for 5 mins in relaxation, breathwork or meditation in a Yoga class, then this guided practice is ideal for you. 

Let's face it, trying to relax when you are in a heightened state, is difficult. 

There is nothing wrong with you, neither do you fall under the category of "I tried but it's just not for me". 

We just don't stay long enough for the dust to settle and watch the magic happen. 

You need to allow your body and mind enough time to get into a relaxed and receptive state so you can actually enjoy it. 5 mins ain't gonna cut it! 

Here is a better way: 

Practice Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation and relaxation technique that is often referred to as "yogic sleep." It is a systematic practice that leads you into a state of deep relaxation while remaining conscious and aware. This state of conscious relaxation can have various benefits, including its potential to benefit the subconscious mind:

1. Deep Relaxation: Yoga Nidra induces a state of profound physical and mental relaxation. This relaxation allows your body to release tension, stress, and fatigue, which can be barriers to accessing the deeper layers of your mind.

2. Access to the Subconscious: When you're deeply relaxed during a Yoga Nidra practice, your brainwaves shift into the alpha and theta states, which are associated with heightened creativity and access to the subconscious mind. This is the state where your mind is more receptive to suggestions and affirmations.

3. Intention Setting: During a Yoga Nidra session, you typically set a specific intention or affirmation at the beginning of the practice. This could be a goal, a positive statement, or something you want to manifest in your life. Your intention is often repeated during the session, which helps to reinforce it in your subconscious.

4. Synchronization of Mind and Body: Yoga Nidra encourages the synchronization of your mind and body, aligning your conscious and subconscious levels. This alignment can make it more likely that your subconscious mind will accept and act upon the intentions or affirmations you've set.

6. Repetition and Reinforcement: The repetition of your intention or affirmation during the Yoga Nidra practice helps embed it in your subconscious mind. As you continue to practice Yoga Nidra regularly, these intentions can become deeply rooted in your subconscious, influencing your thoughts, behaviors, and actions in alignment with your goals.

It's important to note that while Yoga Nidra can be a powerful tool for working with the subconscious mind and setting intentions, it may not produce immediate or miraculous results. Consistency and patience are key. Regular practice, combined with a positive mindset and dedication to your goals, can lead to positive changes in your life over time.
