Balanced Chakra Energy: Maintain balance with continued healthy attitudes, behaviors, emotions and appropriate yoga postures, breathing practices and activities.
Unbalanced Chakra Energy: Examine the chakra’s lessons, rights, responsibilities and challenges to determine what areas need improvement and make suitable changes. Practice the breathing practices, yoga postures and other healing activities and healthy behaviors. Set an intention and enhance it with the musical notes, instruments and crystals. Practice self-care and get competent help from others as needed. In addition:
Excessive Chakra Energy: Use the chakra’s balancing color. Chant or sing the vowel sounds to send and release excess energy. “Too much of a good thing” is harmful so decrease behaviors that are excessive.
Deficient Chakra Energy: Use the chakra’s emanating color. Chant or sing the bija mantra sounds to increase and attract energy.

Yoga Nidra FAQ: Real Relaxation, Meditation & Much More
Yoga Nidra FAQ by Julie Lusk as PDF
What Is Yoga Nidra? Yoga Nidra means “yogic sleep.” It powerfully combines ancient yoga with contemporary science. It starts with a systematic process for shedding physical, mental, and emotional stress. Energy and alertness increase and unconditional peacefulness and quiet is uncovered. No yoga experience is needed. It is typically done lying down. It feels great!
What are the benefits of Yoga Nidra? With regular practice, your health will improve. Scientific studies have shown that real relaxation and yoga nidra helps with a variety of physical and mental problems. It can boost your immune system, lower blood pressure, and decrease pain. Though it’s not a substitute for sleeping, one hour of yoga nidra equals about 4 hours of typical sleep because the brain wave state we’re in is extremely restful and relaxing. You’ll enjoy living with a clear head. Eventually, mood swings and emotional upsets won’t bother you. Your creativity and intuition will flourish in a positive and productive way. Plus, your energy increases. See more documented benefits of yoga nidra here.
Is Yoga Nidra different from hypnosis? Yes. In hypnosis, we’re in a brain wave state that is not as deep as in yoga nidra. With hypnosis, someone else makes suggestions to us in this altered state. In Yoga Nidra, positive suggestions originate and come from within ourselves for lasting and constructive change. This is called setting a resolve, or sankalpa.
How is Yoga Nidra Done? The purpose of yoga nidra is to completely relax physically, 
energetically, mentally, and emotionally. Doing so is deeply soothing and it naturally awakens innate wisdom and intuition. During the yoga nidra process, you’ll be invited to get comfortable lying down in the relaxation pose (savasana) This is done on a yoga mat or something similar. Specialized relaxation exercises, breathing techniques, meditation, and guided imagery are utilized for becoming extremely relaxed and to replenish energy. Yoga nidra effectively handles everyday tension and is capable of healing deep-seated stress. It is much more than a quick fix.
How does Yoga Nidra help me make positive changes? What is a resolve, also called a sankalpa? The brain wave state we’re in during Yoga Nidra is fertile ground. We’re both very relaxed and very receptive. Setting a resolve during this time makes it completely possible to clear out useless habits and bring about positive and permanent changes in your personality and life. So, choose something worthwhile that has meaning and significance for you as your resolve. Some examples are kindness, courage, and love or something to give meaning to your life purpose. The sankalpa (resolve) is stated briefly, sincerely, and in the present tense at the beginning and end of yoga nidra. Use the same one until it becomes a living reality. Get more help on sankalpas here.
How often should I do Yoga Nidra? Regular practice (daily to several times a week) is strongly recommended, especially if you want to reap the benefits.
Note: Refer to Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation and Stress Relief by Julie Lusk (NHP 2015) for a clear and complete information on yoga nidra. It’s available at the WholesomeResources.com store and other online outlets.
The Map of Consciousness used during Yoga Nidra
One technique that is used to achieve the state of conscious awareness known as yoga nidra, is to mentally scan the body using a specific order and duration based on the sensory-motor cortex, also called the homunculus. It is recommended to follow the same sequence to help bring about the movement of prana (life force) and create a healthy flow of energy.
If you look closely at the diagram of the brain’s sensory-motor cortex below, you will notice that more area is devoted to certain places than to others. For instance, compare the relatively large amount of area dedicated to the hands and fingers with the small amount dedicated to the hips. This is why more time is intentionally spent scanning the areas of the body with more of the brain dedicated to it during the practice.

The diagram below shows the subtle energy centers, called chakras, that are also mentally scanned. Chakras are associated with physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual health, and more.
Crown Chakra – Wisdom. Spirituality – Purple
Third Eye – Intuition. Insight – Indigo Blue
Throat – Self expression. Communication – Blue
Heart – Compassion. Love. Kindness – Green
Solar Plexus – Self esteem. Confidence – Yellow
Sacral – Sensuality, intimacy, creativity – Orange
Root – Safety. To have. To be – Red

Dr. Norm Shealy recommends this CD to anyone who has not conquered the art of relaxation.
“My friend Julie Lusk sent me a few months ago her CD on Yoga Nidra along with the book on Yoga Nidra. Needless to say, the book just convinced me how important the CD is! I have personally done a variety of yogic exercises for many years and one of my favorite books is The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the foundation for Raja Yoga.
I have also done scores of relaxation exercises and my favorite for many years has been autogenic training, which is not only relaxing but self regulating. I have hundreds of CD’s including guided imagery and a great deal of outstanding music. Despite my experience, Julie’s Yoga Nidra provides the deepest relaxation I can imagine. If you have not yet conquered the art of relaxation, I strongly recommend this CD ASAP!

“Yoga Nidra is Awesome”
Julie! I have listened to Yoga Nidra twice this week and I looooooove it!
People need to get this CD. There’s no time like now to make yourself feel better, right?
I’m recuperating from minor surgery – nothing serious at all – but it kept me housebound so I popped in Yoga Nidra and melted away into a wonderful place that I intend to revisit again and again.
Wow – what a stress buster and energizer. People have got to do this – it’s an investment in your body, mind and soul. I guess it’s close to an hour? I don’t know – I just know it’s worth it. We take time to do lots of other things in our lives that take an hour or longer so why not take the time to do something so very good for yourself.
Thank you so much for doing this CD. You know I love all your CDs, but this one is definitely different. Wow – I love it!
Just wanted you to know that you’ve got another winner in Yoga Nidra CD!
Luna Ray, Singer, Songwriter
