YOG NIDRA


Yog Nidra
is a deep relaxation technique for each and every muscle of the body and mind. When we sleep, our physical body is at rest but the mind is still active. That is why even after 6 to 8 hours of sleep we some times don't feel fresh but lethargic and even have head-ach.

Yog Nidra is more restful than sleep and is most harmless and direct antidote to psychosomatic maladies resulting from stress and anxiety. It is ' relaxation with self awareness.' It is progressive relaxation in which each and every muscle is conditioned and made to feel relax. We focus on each part of the body one by one . We tighten the muscle of each part of the body one by one and then loosen them one by one. The result is relaxation of the muscles and relaxation of metabolic activities. In Yog Nidra each and every muscle of the body is made to feel tense and then relaxed. About 20 minutes of Yog Nidra are equal to 2 hours of sleep.
