‘If we choose to create a more peaceful world, we must first learn to relax and harmonise our own
body and mind.’
Yoga Nidra is a simple yet profound guided meditation practice, used for deep mental, physical and
emotional relaxation, stress management and therapy.
Guided into a state between waking and dreaming, this allows you to open the deeper phases of the
mind which is especially receptive to receive intuitions from the unconscious mind.
Once we become free from mental, physical and emotional tensions we become truly relaxed. Muscular tension is related to the body itself; nervous system and endocrine imbalances. As we move
through this life we accumulate tensions. By working physically, or not working at all we create tension.
By sleeping too little or sleeping too much we create tension. Eating a high protein diet, a carbohydrate
heavy diet or even vegetarian diet will create tensions in the body. While your mind is tense, your
stomach becomes tense. And while your stomach is tense, your circulatory system soon become tense
too. We can influence healing by the deep relaxation of Yoga Nidra.
Emotional tension can manifest from unhappy family life, chaos in your social life, even externally from
aggression and welfare between communities and nations. These tensions can also come from various
spectrums of emotions. Love-hate. Profit-loss. Success-failure. Happiness-unhappiness. This tension
accumulated from not openly and freely expressing emotions, often we refuse to recognise them so we
repress them instead – resulting in deep rooted tension which ordinary sleep and relaxation cannot
release. Yoga Nidra works at cutting deep roots of these emotional experiences and emotional trauma.
Mental tension builds from excessive mental activity. Life experiences accumulate in the body, and as
time goes on without release these can explode, effecting body, mind, behavior, and reactions. When
we are sad, angry, irritated we often connect or blame these emotions on an external cause. While the
underlying cause behind these abnormal behaviors really lie in built up tensions on the mental plane.
Yoga Nidra enables us to dive deep into the subconscious mind where we can release and relax mental
tensions, therefore establishing harmony in all of our being.
