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.”

Yoga Nidra’s Benefits

June 27, 2016 by Julie Lusk

yoga nidra's benefitsYoga nidra’s benefits are remarkable.  Yoga nidra means “yogic sleep.”  It’s a comprehensive meditative practice for going far beyond deep relaxation to a place of natural peace and quiet that is tremendously healing for the body, mind, and spirit.  Unique skills are developed for handling stress and tension in the short term and for the long run.  Yoga nidra feels extremely peaceful and is very refreshing.  It’s based on classical yoga and backed by contemporary science.

Here are some of yoga nidra’s benefits from Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation & Stress Relief  by Julie Lusk, pgs. 42-43, NHP 2015):

  • Activates the relaxation response and deactivates the stress response. This improves functioning of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems (ANS) and the endocrine system (glands and hormones).
  • Improves your overall health
    • Increases immunity and the ability to fight germs and infections (Kumar 2007)
    • Cellular rejuvenation and repair
    • Improves heart functioning by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol (Pandya and Kumar 2007)
    • Decreases pain
    • Improved control of fluctuating blood glucose and symptoms associated with diabetes (Amita et al. 2009)
    • Significant improvement of anxiety, depression and well-being was reported in patients with menstrual irregularities and having psychological problems (Rani et al. 2011)
    • Manages pre- and post-surgical conditions (Kumar, page 56)
  • Reduces insomnia and improves sleep
  • Increases energy, especially when needed most
  • Reduces worry and enhances clear thinking and problem solving
  • Improves and refreshes your outlook
  • Mood swings and emotional upsets are replaced with greater emotional understanding and stability
  • Intuition is developed and creativity increases
  • Improves meditation and enhances its benefits
  • Integrates, heals, and revitalizes your body, mind and spirit
  • Enhances your Self-awareness and ability to experience witness consciousness
  • Transforms thoughts and feelings of separation into a direct experience of wholeness.

Experience yoga nidra’s benefits for yourself.  Like most worthwhile things, regular practice yields the best results.  This book and audio set is everything you need to get started and will support your practice for years to come.
