Yogic Power Nap

Description:
Yoga Nidra or conscious Sleep is one of the simplest and yet most powerful ways to physical, mental and emotional relaxation, de-stress and rejuvenate the body-mind connection. The technique guides you to explore deep restful awareness while lying down or relaxing on a chair. The process involves directing attention to 61 different points in the body, activating the flow of prana (life force) within our body. In this workshop we will explore advanced techniques developed by Dr. Pradeep Ullal  to allow deep healing of body, altering brain waves, cellular level programming, affirmations, intonations, visualization and auto-suggestion. 

Benefits include:
Yoga Nidra may have untold benefits that go beyond the therapeutic. Yoga Nidra helps harmonizing two hemispheres of the brain and the two aspects of autonomous nervous system viz. sympathetic and parasympathetic. The rotation of body awareness stimulates different parts of the brain that control each and every body nerve. When you are aware of each part of your body, you are actually massaging the corresponding part in the brain as well. You establish the connection between the body and the mind. The impressions in the subconscious are brought to surface, experienced and removed. Thus, the fixation of awareness to the body is replaced with the awareness linked to subtler aspects of prana and spiritual dimensions.

More about Yoga Nidra
Every human being is endowed with great potentialities but one need to have awareness and training to explore this inner treasure. Yoga Nidra is the way to turn inwards and bring consciousness to the constant flow of life happening within and rise higher within and without. It is the scientific way to eliminate the root cause of all negativities like stress related disorders, ailments like hypertension, depression, asthma, digestive disorders, etc which drain our life energy.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient tantric method, which can open new capacities of the mind. Stress, frustrations, insomnia, and psychosomatic diseases which have become part of modern man’s life, are being caused by our unstable mind. Unknowingly, we hurt ourselves and hold people and situations responsible for our turmoil. Yoga Nidra gives us an opportunity to understand our mind and cuts through its blind conditionings.

Yoga Nidra means sleeping consciously. It is a kind of deep sleep in which you don’t loose consciousness. It is a more efficient and effective form of psychic and physiological rest and rejuvenation. Normally, when people sleep, they do not unburden totally. They carry their frustrations, conflict, pain, and turmoil with them, hence, sleep never goes deep. Because of this, there remains great tension in mind and body.

The practice of Yoga Nidra not only relaxes but restructures and reforms our whole personality from within. With every session, we burn old samsakaras, habits and tendencies in order to be born anew. Yoga Nidra means sleep with a trace of awareness. It is a state of mind in-between wakefulness and dream.
At this moment, your intellectual mind is operating but when you relax, the subconscious and unconscious levels of mind open up. If you practice Yoga Nidra, then the nature of your mind can be changed, diseases can be cured and your creative genius can be restored.

The sub-conscious mind and the unconscious mind are the most powerful forces in the human being. Sub-Conscious mind is a very obedient disciple and it immediately carries out the orders that you put to it.
In Yoga Nidra, the most effective means of training the mind is found in sankalpa – resolution, which you make for yourself during each practice. Anything in life can fail you but not your sankalpa. It is an important stage of Yoga Nidra and a powerful way of reshaping your personality and giving a new direction in life along positive lines. When conscious mind-body is in deep relaxation, at that time, whatever sankalpa- resolution you will make, it will get fulfilled. The resolution you make at the beginning of the practice is like sowing a seed and the resolution at the end is like irrigating it.
