“Relaxation means to be blissfully happy, It has no end.” 
-Swami Satyananda Saraswati

When you hear the word “Yoga” you often imagine a body contorting into different positions. While yoga is so much more than that. There are seven limbs of yoga that aren’t physical movement at all.

Yoga Nidra is a practice of healing on the physical, mental, and emotional levels without ‘physical’ movement. It is using this technique that teaches one to relax consciously. True relaxation is an experience you have never felt until you’ve tried Yoga Nidra. It opens deeper phases of your mind, unloading the subconscious and unconscious mind, the most powerful forces in the human being.

Harvesting a witness awareness helps one become less reactive to situational experiences. This is practiced by the practitioner guiding you from alpha to beta to theta to delta brain waves. Delta is generally defined as the brain wave you experience while sleeping, however, with Yoga Nidra the delta waves are responding in a conscious sleep. Once you are consciously sleeping you can program your mind with a sankalpa or resolve. A sankalpa is a present tense affirmation or saying such as “I healthy and happy” or “I participate in activities that nourish my mind and strengthen my will”.  Yoga Nidra is a process to manifest your wants or needs into fruition at an exponential rate.
