Yoga Nidra translates into English as “yogic sleep,” yet this does not tell us all that much. Yoga Nidra refers to both a state of consciousness - one that is different from the waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states - as well as different styles of guided meditations that allows us to begin to consciously gain access to this state.

These meditations themselves are a specific sequence of relaxation, meditation, and mindfulness techniques that help the body, mind, and emotions to slowly and gently become more still and silent. Participants then systematically induce profound levels of rest and relaxation within themselves that may have not even been accessible with natural physiological sleep, perhaps due to stress or chronic health conditions. As such, Yoga Nidra itself is considered a form of NSDR, non-sleep deep rest, a term coined by neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman.


I will be including yoga nidras from the different styles I have learned. This particular yoga nidra is based on the Amrit-style of yoga nidra, and its goal is to promote a gentle release of tension and a loosening of the different muscle groups as you bring awareness back into the body and breath. Then, the mind begins to feel more peaceful and at ease.


This meditation follows the usual sequence of the Integrative Amrit (I AM) Method of Yoga Nidra, developed by Gurudev Amrit Desai of The Amrit Institute, which focuses on the energy body, and as such, it is possible to go into deep states of meditation in a relatively short amount of time compared to other types of meditation.


Simply follow the guidance as best as you can, and your body and mind will do the rest. The yoga nidra itself is roughly 45 minutes in length, not counting the portions with background sound and music. Preliminary instructions will be given at the start, and the meditation itself starts at 9:14. 


As Gurudev would say, Jai Bhagwan! (May the Spirit be Victorious! Or, victory to the Spirit!)
