Sleep Meditation
A 30 minute systematic method for inducing a complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation while giving you the benefits of sleep.
How do I get enough sleep? Why don’t I feel rested after I sleep? Yogis, artists and philosophers have been using the ancient method of Yoga Nidra for centuries, why can’t we?
Sleep Meditation (Yoga Nidra) is a systematic meditation practice that is likened to conscious sleep, "psychic sleep", which allows the body to fully relax while the mind stays aware, giving you the benefits of quality rest and a deep mind-body connection. Yoga Nidra was practiced by yogis, artists, and master thinkers for centuries to build awareness, inspire creativity, and encourage relaxation.
