Drawing upon Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses) doesn’t include movement but instead combines a scan, breath and mantra to help you to reach a state of relaxed all whilst snuggled under your favourite !
Generally, prior to Nidra, the brain is in an active stage of Beta waves. The helps you to transition slowly and allows the brain to press pause which takes the brain into an Alpha state, the brain wave frequency that links conscious thought with the subconscious .
Serotonin is released when the brain is in Alpha – relaxed but aware. From here, the experiences ease and the responds by moving into stillness. As we delve deeper into tranquillity, the brain emits delta waves, mimicking what happens when we enter a deep restful sleep.
Find more freedom and detachment from unhelpful thoughts patterns, habits and with this . Improve sleep, soothe , and encourage feelings of rest and ease. It’s even better after !
I host a monthly evening pop up Nidra with the addition of a restorative Yoga session to help the body and mind further rest.
See here.
In a Nidra meditation there are no postures other than being seated or laying down. In restoritive yoga, there are a number of floor based shapes to help you further rest and relax and will be adapted based on needs.
Not all all, Providing you can lay on the floor or sit in a chair, there’s no requirement to be flexible.
Yes, Nidra is perfect for those with no prior knowledge or experience in meditation.
Wear your comfiest of clothing and bring your favourite blanket and cozy socks. Mats, blankets, blocks and chairs can be provided but you’re welcome to bring your own. If you do have a bolster please bring this too.
The whole experience is 90 minutes.
