Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a relaxation. It is a state between sleep and wakefulness. Due to the fast life
pattern, people feel exhausted, depressed and tensed. Yoga Nidra provides mental, physical
and intellectual energy.
Guidelines
Let the mind become calm and quiet.
Let the body be still, just as you are before falling asleep.
Let your mind be alert and aware.
Do Yoga Nidra for 15 to 20 minutes.
Care should be taken, to wake up from Yoga Nidra, before going to sleep.
Steps to follow
Lie on your back, with feet 18 inches apart, hands 45 degrees, and in Chin Mudra.
Relax the body completely.
Make a simple and easy resolve with the supreme power, of your choice.
Rotation of consciousness with right side of the body to the left, both front and back.
Slow and deep breathing with the feeling of calmness and quietness.
Visualise a natural beauty spot of your choice, or a worship place, feeling cool breeze
and nature's sound, like birds singing /flow of a stream.
The last moment of Yoga Nidra must bring about a feeling of merging the consciousness
with the super consciousness.
Feel completely tranquil and detached.
Become aware and return to normal breathing.

Benefits
Helps to achieve mental and physical strength.
Offers positive attitude.
Removes tension and relaxes the whole body.
Consciousness pays steady dividends in terms of harmony and happiness.
