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.

Yoga in Paradise

September 20, 2010 by Julie Lusk

I’m still on Cloud 9.

Bahamas Julie

I was invited to teach at Sivananda Ashram on Paradise Isle, Bahamas.  This included 1 satsang called Mind Body Mystery, Mastery and Magic and 2 workshops and that grew to 4 workshops.   Healing with Guided Imagery, Goddess Yoga and Real Relaxation with Yoga Nidra were the topics.  Yoga Nidra was so popular, I offered it twice!   People attended from Israel, Indonesia, France, Germany, England, Canada, USA, Brazil, Columbia, SA, and many other places.  It was really neat.

Did I mention that this was the Symposium on Yoga and Sacred Healing?  The other presenters I was blessed to be with included Amy Weintraub and Rose Kress (Yoga for Depression), Joseph and Lilian Lepage (Yoga Mudras), Zicciah Blackburn (Entering the Heart) and Elizabeth Lesser (Broken Open).

Sivananda yoga was quite the experience.  We had 2-hour yoga classes daily. It was wonderful to be in someone else’s class.  It was a very structured sequence for sure and not at all how I teach.  All the postures were done in a specific order every time.  They even  counted everything out all the time, including the breaths.  This has been like this for decades.  There were 2 satsang’s per day with 25 minutes of silent meditation and 25 minutes of chanting followed by an hour long presentation and more chanting.

Everything was outside.  Everything!  All yoga classes, satsangs, meals, and everything else.  A lot of people even lived outside in tents.  I was grateful for an indoor room.  The weather couldn’t have been better and the ocean and bay were magnificent.  I’ve never seen water that color before.   It really was like being in paradise and I can’t wait to go back and I’d love it if you would join me.

PS.  If you’d like to experience the healing nature of Real Relaxation and Yoga Nidra but you missed it in the Bahamas here’s how.  Just get a copy of my CD called Real Relaxation and Yoga Nidra.
