In this yoga nidra, we move through the stages of sankalpa (intention setting), rotation of awareness, pranayama (breath awareness) and creative visualisation. Each of these is designed to lead the body and mind into a state in which we can let go of tension from past events and emerge with more clarity and ease.“When awareness is separate and distinct from mental activity,when waking, dream and deep sleep pass like clouds,yet awareness of Self remains,this is the experience of total relaxation…That is why, in tantra,yoga nidra is said to be the doorway to Samadhi.”- Swami Satyananda's 'Yoga Nidra'Yoga nidra has developed in modern yoga to offer a therapeutic experience of deep relaxation. A hybridisation of ancient tantric teachings and modern approaches to relaxation, yoga nidra verges on hypnosis in the way it guides the mind and body into a mysterious state somewhere between meditation and daydreaming. The creative visualisation aspect of yoga nidra invites you into an almost child-like state of imagination in which the usual constraints of the mind loosen and new states of consciousness can emerge.
