Want to find an easy, effective, and enduring solution to stress? Perhaps you’re even interested in helping others reduce the stress in their lives? Well, tonight, I’m offering a live online Yoga Nidra class devoted to stress and this weekend, I’m hosting a workshop on how to write your own Yoga Nidra scripts to help people with stress, sleeplessness, grief, or any other topic.
Stress. We all have it. What to do about it … that doesn’t involve avoidance techniques such as binge watching Netflix, drinking, and eating Ben and Jerry’s by the truckload?
Yoga Nidra, the yoga of sleep, is a great alternative to mind-numbing dumbness and, potentially, Type 2 diabetes. Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation that uses layered Awareness and systematic relaxation to put you into a mind state called Nidra, the space between waking and dreaming consciousness.
Yoga Nidra for Stress
What world-renowned psychologists like Joseph Wolpe discovered is that you cannot be stressed and relaxed at the same time. Furthermore, getting comfortable with the ability to regularly enter the Nidra state, helps to strengthen your ability to practice merely witnessing what would otherwise be a stressor. Over time, such practices help you become increasingly less triggered by the same stimulus that would otherwise send you straight for Netflix and diabetes.
It’s easy to do. All you have to do is show up, close your eyes, and I’ll take it from there. Practicing it doesn’t require any previous experience. In truth, you don’t even need to stay awake for it to be effective. Besides, I always make a recording so you can practice at home and perhaps catch anything you missed on your subsequent meditations.
It’s nice to have a resource like Yoga Nidra recordings on your phone that you can tune into whenever you wish.
Please join me tonight for Yoga Nidra for Stress Zoom 6–7:15 pm MDT. Even if the time doesn’t work for you to join live, you can still watch/listen to the recordings later.
Yoga Nidra Training
While practicing Yoga Nidra is super relaxing and easy, guiding others through this transformative practice can be difficult. That’s why I offer a Yoga Nidra online training, and am also offering a LIVE YOGA NIDRA SCRIPT WRITING WORKSHOP this Saturday, 9–11 am MDT on Zoom. Again, I’ll be recording it so you can watch it later if you can’t make it live. Learn to write your own scripts! Click here for details.
I hope to see you tonight and/or this weekend for some great Yoga Nidra instruction!
