ADVICE

Prepare Your Space For Rest

  • Lie down, get really comfortable, and use a pillow and blanket to support restful temperature and posture.
  • Set a 30-minute alarm or sleep timer so you can safely fall asleep during the practice.
INSIGHT

The Brainwave Benefit Of Yoga Nidra

  • Yoga nidra shifts brainwaves from active beta into alpha and theta, a liminal state between wakefulness and deep sleep.
  • This state increases receptivity to learning, creativity, and access to the subconscious.
ADVICE

Use A Sankalpa To Seed Intention

  • Set a sankalpa: a short, present-tense positive intention from the heart, like "I am calm."
  • Repeat the sankalpa silently three times to plant it in the softer state of mind.
