Yoga Nidra is a powerful method of inducing conscious complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. One appears to be asleep but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. it is said to be a great state of being within which to make positive change, due to spontaneous contact with the subconscious and unconscious. Perfect for those new year resolutions, visions and goals!

In Yoga Nidra, the state of relaxation is reached by turning the senses inwards, away from the external environment. The premise is that in turning the awareness away from the outer world, and yet also staying away from sleep, the consciousness becomes very awakened, focused and this lends it it’s power for conscious change.The consciousness is in a state actually between sleeping and waking and in this state the mind is extremely receptive to suggestion, affirmation, and declared intention. It is said that Yoga Nidra can be used to direct the mind to achieve anything. When the mind is still and quiet, we have access to the undivided, unlimited consciousness which is pure and unlimited potentiality. Insights, understanding and inspiration can reach the mind from this part of our being which the Yogis know to be our real Self. 

In Yoga Nidra therefore we are not only experiencing relaxation, but in a safe and structured way, we are able to undergo a restructuring and rewiring of our mental and emotional states, or our habitual tendencies and behaviours. With every Yoga Nidra practice we can dissolve old, obstructive ways and thought patterns that possibly hold us back from living happy, peaceful days. Instead, we plant seeds deep in the unconscious and subconscious to support the fulfilling of our dreams and goals,  and the realising of our highest potential in all our endeavours.
