Yoga Nidra for Stress Relief book ~~ On the Way!

December 9, 2013 by Julie Lusk

Here’s how it all happened ~~ thanks to my lucky stars!

Last February, while I was teaching at Sivananda/Bahamas, I had my Vedic astrology chart read by Krishna Das. This was a fiThumbs Up!rst for me.

After describing me better than my own Mother could, he went on to say that the stars and planets and moon were lining up in May exactly as it was when I was born as well as at the age of 30. He said it was going to be a very productive time for me and would bring with it writing, teaching, learning, traveling and such.

I questioned him about the areas that I might concentrate on and gave him a list of things I’m interested in.

Right away, he said that yoga nidra would fit in perfectly with my chart. Next, I asked if I should pursue opportunities and he replied that would not be needed since opportunities would find me.

Can you only imagine the look on my face when I got an email “out of the blue” in May from New Harbinger Publications asking me if I would like to write a book for them on … Yoga Nidra for Stress Relief!  Yoga Nidra is the totally relaxing and deeply healing aspect of yoga.

After checking them out and doing some discernment and soul-searching, I agreed. Next, they wanted a book summary, outline, authors bio, and a couple sample chapters. That took me a few months.  The contract has now been finalized!

Could you please help me?  Something that will really help the book come alive are stories.   Would you be willing to share what Yoga Nidra feels like for you?  Do you have a Yoga Nidra story about how it has helped you in some way?  If so, please send them to me. 

Why wait until the book and the new audios are released (it takes a long time).  To celebrate, my Real Relaxation: Yoga Nidra CD is on sale for $5 off.  This special offer is valid during December 2013.

Here is a (pdf) FAQ sheet on Yoga Nidra on

1) What is Yoga Nidra?

2) Is it different than meditation and hypnosis?

3)  How it is done.  How often.

4) Benefits

5) Resources.

ENJOY!

Bhramara Mudra for Allergy Relief

October 11, 2010 by Julie Lusk

Yoga Mudras are gestures for the hands and body that aid healing for the body, mind, emotions and spirit.  Using hand positions in this manner can be found in Yoga, Buddhist, Chinese, and other traditions.

Bhramara Mudra is one to practice to relieve allergies and related conditions.  The immune system can benefit.

  • Place your index finger at the base of your thumb.
  • Touch the tip of your thumb beside the fingernail of the middle finger
  • Extend your ring and little fingers
  • Focus your attention and breathe as deeply, slowly and smoothly as possible
  • Hold for several minutes and practice often

Even though I had my doubts, this yoga mudra has helped me a lot.  I use it during allergy attacks and as a preventative during allergy season.  For example, I will hold this yoga mudra with one or both of my hands while waiting, walking or sitting.

I’ve shared this with others and have been told that it stopped a sneezing fit, solved an allergy attack when out walking, and cleared up a runny nose from allergies.  Really!

Don’t forget to use common sense too.   Help yourself by doing what you can to boost your immune system and avoid what triggers your allergies (pollen, animal dander, dust, food triggers, etc.)

Hear what Sandi had to say about the Bhramara Mudra for allergy relief and what she said about coming to my Transforming Stress into Awakened Living workshop in this minute-long video.

Please try it for yourself and then post your results!

Visit often since there are lots more yoga mudras to share with you for things like feeling more stable, calm, energized and uplifted.

Post a comment to let me know the ones you’re most interested in and I’ll do my best.  Better yet, come to a yoga class and/or to the next yoga slumber party to learn more in person.  Here’s the schedule for your convenience.
