Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation also known as "yogic sleep" or "effortless relaxation". The practice draws our attention inwards, and we learn to surf between the states of wakefulness and sleep, where our body finds its natural state of harmony. The unconscious and conscious aspects of the mind reveal themselves, and we fall into an innate state of deep, blissful awareness.
In this relaxed state, we can then feel our thinking mind slow down and welcome what arises without judgement or analysis; we welcome images, feelings, emotions, and memories. We become aware of our true, unified nature - expansive, inclusive, and deeply restful.
