NIDRA YOGA

 

Nidrâ is an oral tradition belonging to the Tantric world view and has been transmitted from instructors to students mainly through personal and direct experience. Nidrâ Yoga is rooted in the traditions of Kashmir Shaivism and Vedanta, both dating back to several thousand years.

Nidra meditation accesses the subconscious mind relaxing the body, releasing stress and anxiety and creating lasting positive changed integration.

It is a deep relaxing practice that can be used to open up the deeper aspect of the mind. It is useful for stress management, improved use of the mind and to awaken your inner potential – a gentle, nourishing, yet powerful way to spend time with yourself.

Nidrâ Yoga brings about an expanded state of consciousness by deepening the ability to relax while at the same time intensifying the ability to concentrate. It is hard to imagine the possibility of being concentrated and relaxed at the same time. Going very deep into relaxation brings to a state of complete surrendering, a state where we can consciously watch the very movement of life in its deeper nature.

Nidrâ Yoga is a practice for those who search for the balance between deep relaxation and intense concentration to reach a state of vastness, silence and joy. Trying to look deeply into things as they are, requires a lot of openness, a real desire to question and a clear mind ready to welcome totally unknown possibilities as new answers.
