Additional Yoga Nidra Meditation CD: Extreme Relaxation of Conscious Deep Sleep Information
|
This meditation is an authentic rendering of Yoga Nidra as taught in the Himalayas by the masters of Yoga, Vedanta and Tantra. While it is an advanced meditation practice, anyone can start the practice while watching it deepen over time.
Yoga Nidra literally means "Yogic Sleep." In this deep meditation you train your attention to leave the chatter of the Waking state of mind, go past the fantasy of the Dreaming state, and consciously, intentionally enter the stillness of the Deep Sleep state, yet paradoxically remain awake and in deep meditation. For thousands of years the Yogis have used Yoga Nidra to master the art of sleep, to balance the subtle energies, and to experience greater depths of meditation.
The state of conscious Deep Sleep or Yoga Nidra is underneath, behind, or subtler than meditations at either the Waking or Dreaming levels. This subtle state is called "Prajna," which means "supreme knowing." "Pra" means "supreme," and "jna" means "knowing." The conscious experience of this state is a doorway to higher, formless knowing that has been called the infinite library of wisdom and the teacher within.
The depth of authentic Yoga Nidra comes from inner awareness of the levels of your own self, including your body, breath, and the subtler mind, rather than diverting attention through music or inner fantasies (as pleasant as these may be). This inner exploring through self-awareness is a more refined form of meditation that leads you deeper into the stillness and silence of your own being, while remaining fully awake and aware. The Yoga Nidra methods bring you to a place of awareness where you are able to completely let go of any words, thoughts, images, impressions, or pictures in the mind. You are guided to allow your mind to "empty, empty, empty" though you remain fully awake and clear of mind.
The practices on this CD will gently train your ability to direct your own attention, which is the primary skill in the art of meditation. You will find that you are gradually able to use these methods on your own, without the CD, and the benefits will be with you not only during your practice time, but also during the activities of daily life.
The voice will systematically guide you to explore your physical body, then move through 61 specific points within the body, and then practice ascending breath awareness along the body and spine. Your attention will be brought to the space between the eyebrows, then to the throat, and finally to the heart center, where you will go deep into stillness and silence, beyond the activities of the mind.
The Yoga Nidra CD has five tracks. The first track is an introduction (8:02 minutes), describing the state of Yoga Nidra and the practices on the CD. The next four tracks move through four sequential practices that are listened to together, so as to form a complete practice of 57:24 minutes (CD is 65:36 minutes in total). These four tracks can also be listened to individually, as complete practices unto themselves, which allows you to have the benefits of practice when less time is available.

What Customers Say About Yoga Nidra Meditation CD: Extreme Relaxation of Conscious Deep Sleep:
|

Definately not for the novice. Way too much talk, difficult to follow, instructions too quick. Just my 2 cents I have been meditating for over 15 years. I did not particularly like this meditation.
I don't know if this is how the CD/Yoga Nidra is supposed to be used but I would not recommend this particular recording if you are trying to relieve insomnia. I found it to be irritating because it kept waking me up. I bought this CD in the hope it would help with severe, intractable insomnia I have had for the last 5 years. Several times during the session I found myself drifting off, but then the voice would startle me awake.
This is great, but if you are looking for a simple progressive relaxation meditation with a healing backing track and a soothing british accent Isobel Aura's Heavenly Relaxation Meditation I would recommend highly.
My body heals faster and my treatment sessions have become much more effective and I am progressing so much faster. Because I use meditation to supplement treatments for illness, I can see how much it has effectively touched my entire life. The more I practice meditating, the more effective it becomes and yoga nidra has become such a powerful tool on the road to recovery. I switch back and forth between using this CD and Richard Miller's CD. Between the pair of them, I have gotten tremendous results.
It doesn't promise that you will achieve "sleep" but I have fallen asleep almost every time I have used it and it is incredibly relaxing. I have occasional insomnia and this is my remedy. First let me say I do not know the author or his friends. I happened across this meditation CD, tried it, then bought more copies to give to friends and family.
