The rest gained from 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra is deeper and more recuperative than several hours of normal sleep. The gentle healing process releases long term tensions, anxiety and exhaustion from the body-mind. Yoga Nidra improves the quality of sleep and promotes calm, grounded and positive feelings.
This CD combines powerful western methods of psychology with classical Yoga Nidra to aid greater relaxation and healing. Dr Swami Shankardev is a direct disciple of Swami Satyananda Saraswati, the originator of Yoga Nidra.
This is an excellent guided meditation to dive into the body and relax. It is spoken in a calming voice and giving a lot of silence to the listener. It can be recommended to persons who are involved in stress, problems and burnouts. It has a healing effect and a calming effect to the mind.I have to admit that it is not original yoga Nidra like of the tradition of Swami Rama as there is a concrete 61 point method behind Yoga Nidra and a technique to use the yoga nidra steps. My personal Yoga Nidra CD is from Swami Jnaneshwara Bharati and contains the original version, which was created to learn to be aware even in deep sleep and to discover the star of the Self.
Most highly recommended! I have used this tape on and off for several years, and the benefits are great, especially with regular practice. The “Yoga Nidra” sesssion, which is mostly whatI listen to (though the meditation track is good) definitely has had a calming, centering effect and also is a helpful form of self-hypnosis based on the articulation ofone’s personal resolve. This tape (and another similar one) that I have been using do appear to facilitate concentration and stress reduction in the long term as wellas provide a pleasant and beneficial experience in the short term. Very worth the modest cost.
Best meditation/relaxation disk. Ever. I purchased 6 different Yoga Nidra disks. This is the ONLY one that I use. The guys voice is incredibly soothing, (not grating or condescending) or rapid fire (some disks sound like they were former Marine Corp DIs!) and the word choice is p.e.r.f.e.c.t. I don’t know much about the Swami part. The guy is just good.
