Yoga Nidra Can Help Reduce Stress and Improve Your Sleep

Just relax!' So easy to say, so hard to do...without a little
help. And that's exactly what Yoga Nidra can do. It can help you
to relax, help you to sleep and help you to reduce stress. It
can help you be calm in a frantic world. It can help you find
more energy for all the things you need to do...and want to do.

So what is Yoga Nidra?

Yoga Nidra is a special kind of yoga that focuses solely on
relaxation - specifically 'guided relaxation'. If you have
attended yoga classes, you may have experienced something a
little like it if your teacher has asked you to lie down and to
listen to their voice while they talk you through visualisations
for example. Although this doesn't take you as 'deep' as yoga
nidra, for many, it is still the highlight of their yoga session
- guided relaxation is a wonderful, calming experience. Whether
you are highly stressed or not, yoga nidra can make a huge
difference to your life, helping you make the most of every day.

However, there are some people for whom yoga nidra can be
particularly powerful: that is people who suffer from high
stress or who have problems sleeping.

Sleep and stress are inextricably linked. The more we are
stressed, the harder it is to sleep. The less well we sleep, the
harder we find it to manage stress. It's a vicious cycle that
many find hard to break.

A Brief Introduction To Hatha Yoga

Yoga at last is coming into its own in the Western world. After
many years of being dismissed as a bizarre cult attractive only
to eccentrics, it is today recognized as a fundamental art and
skill. More than that, many of its most bitter opponents, people
who were among the first to cry down Yogic culture, have now
embraced it as a way of life.

The ancients who formulated the science of Yoga were way ahead
of us in our modern world of stress and hurry. Recognizing,
thousands of years ago, man's basic need for discipline to
counteract the physical and spiritual deterioration caused by the mere fight for survival, they evolved a science which is at
once as ancient as India herself and as modern as the space age.

The law of Yoga is the law of Life. Yoga embodies the secrets of
successful living and combines profound and age-old truths with
a way of life acceptable to the modern mind. It was evolved from
the Veda, one of the most ancient scriptural books known to
mankind in which Indian saints and sages taught that the
Universe is one and that all religions are paths ascending the
same mountain towards Eternal Truth.
