Sleep Well ~ Yoga Nidra

Why struggle to get to sleep or stay asleep at night when you can sleep well with yoga nidra?  Sleep is vital to our health and sleep experts tell us we need an average of eight hours at a shot.  Even if there’s time for sleep, many of us have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, interfering with good health and causing frustration.

Find the help you’ve been waiting for in these articles:

  • Sleep Solutions: Yoga-Style talks about the best yoga postures and breathing techniques for a good night’s sleep.
  • Yoga Nidra and Sleep explains what yoga nidra is and why it’s more restful than regular sleep.
  • Not Sleeping Soundly?  Here’s help for those nights when you feel you’re half awake and half asleep.

Listen to this specialized yoga nidra practice especially made for going to sleep (CD or digital download).  It’s from Julie’s new book, Yoga Nidra Meditations: 24 Scripts for True Relaxation

Clear the deck for a good nights sleep by releasing physical, mental and emotional tension.  You’ll love waking up in the morning feeling refreshed.

Enjoy using relaxation skills, specialized breathing techniques, mindfulness, and more.  You’ll enjoy the soothing Native American style flute music followed by the calming sound of ocean waves, Mother Nature’s delightful lullaby.

  • “I never slept better.”
  • “I love the whole thing.”
  • “I fall asleep so easily, I haven’t made it through to the end yet.”

Chakra Balancing with Toning and Hand Mudras

Chakras, Mudras, and Sound Healing


Learn an Elemental and Chakra Meditation with
Hand movements, Color, Sound, and Intention


The major chakras are spinning wheels of energy that span from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.  They guide the wellbeing of our bodymind and LifeForce energy.

Chakra energy can be balanced, excessive, or deficient.  Being out of balance can negatively influence your actions, relationships, as well as your physical, mental, and emotional health. Use my Chakra Chart to determine if your energy is in balance or not.  You’ll get a variety of helpful strategies to improve your wellbeing.

Yoga Mudras are yoga positions, gestures, and seals for your hands and fingers that facilitate health, healing, psychological balance and spiritual transformation.   They are effective, easy to learn, practical and powerful.  Mudras can be a powerful and effective way to help gain balance and have better health by either increasing or decreasing chakra energy.

Sound healing can also be used for chakra balancing.


Elemental & Chakra Meditation with
Hand Movements, Color, Sound, and Intention


See how the fingers and the thumb are associated with specific chakras and their associated sounds with this color-coded hand diagram.

Bija sounds encode the 5 elements into sound and increase and attract energy.  They are lam, vam, ram, yam, ham, Om, and silence.  They are pronounced with a ‘U’ sound and rhyme with hum.   Vowel sounds decrease and disperse energy.


Experiment & Discover | Hum. Play a variety of sounds, tones, notes, and musical instruments. Use your intuition. Tune in and trust your direct experience by listening and noticing your physical and energetic response.

Mudra Hand Meditation | Tone & touch the thumb to each fingertip on both hands. Try starting on the ring finger (4th finger) for the first chakra. The index and thumb are used for both the 3rd and 4th chakras. Join fingertips and thumb for OM. Reopen hand for silence. Alternatively, try starting with the OM and descend from the crown chakra to the root using the associated finger and sounds.

Tuning Fork Meditation | Listen to unweighted tuning forks associated with the chakra notes. Touch a weighted OM fork to fingertips and center of palm on both hands. Treat both hands.

OM | Find out about the purpose, meaning, symbolism, and benefits of OM.

Ancient and modern cultures, countries, and teachings have acknowledged and honored the directions, elements, seasons, and the chakra energy centers and their sounds to help provide them with meaning and purpose.

Through the ages, philosophers, scientists, religious organizations, mystics, shamans, and native peoples from the Americas, Asian countries and other areas have used their perspectives personally and collectively to understand, honor, and respect our place in the world around us.  This has been expressed prayerfully and ceremonially, scientifically and soulfully.

Some identify four directions while others focus on six.  Sometimes five elements are recognized. There are 118 elements on the periodic chart.  It’s summer in one hemisphere while it’s winter in the other.  It’s daytime in one part of the world whereas it’s nighttime elsewhere.

Making sense of these variations from reputable sources was both thought-provoking and daunting. It finally dawned on me that there are many right ways to do this. Just because one system says the east connects to the earth and the west with water while other systems say something else doesn’t necessarily make one right or better and another wrong.

The point is to feel these influences and use these connections to better understand these relationships for balancing health and wellbeing personally and collectively.

Don’t be fooled by seeing this information boxed into columns and rows. The lines are there to help clarify the information.  Think of it as an intermingling and as a gradual blending. It’s somewhat like how the colors in a rainbow gradually transform from one shade to another and at the same time a color can stand on its own.  Ultimately, there is no separation.  We are in a unified field of oneness that is as directionless and timeless as it is spacious.  http://JulieLusk.com

I compiled this Chakra Chart from my in-depth studies and understanding of yoga combined with the knowledge I’ve gained from my other interests. It is fluid and changeable.  It is neither conclusive nor comprehensive.  Use it if it helps.  Go for something else or come up with your own.  Get my Complete Chakra Chart.
