About the course
Three things you should know:
- Yog Nidra is NOT sleep. In Yog Nidra, you walk the threshold between wakefulness and sleep. In deep sleep, brainwave frequency moves from beta, to theta, and finally to delta waves. In Yog Nidra, however, a unique, intermediate platform of alpha wave predominance is achieved, which heightens awareness and enhances cognitive functioning - a perfect opportunity for healing and personal growth!
- It is a powerful tantra practice that can be used for manifestation. Yog Nidra achieves a "passive-active" state in which the sub-conscious is empowered to deeply internalize a specific "resolve/sankalpa" that the practitioner is working with and to super-charge their manifestation abilities.
- The right preparation/setting is important for a successful Yog Nidra session. First, make sure to pick a time when you are not rushed. Find a private, quiet, softly lit/dark place with a comfortable room temperature where you will not be disturbed for at least 45 minutes, and lay down on a mat/mattress (ideally placed on the floor) with any props that might enhance comfort (e.g., blankets, pillows), in comfortable clothing. Keep all distractions away or turned off (e.g., phone, laptop). Finally, craft a clear resolve/sankalpa that you would like to work with, for maximum benefit. You will repeat this resolve to yourself mentally when instructed during the practice.
How to craft a clear resolve/sankalpa
Key features of a well-crafted resolve: (1) Short, positive, precise and clear, so that it can penetrate the subconscious mind. (2) Represents something you are desirous of on a very deep level.
Some example resolve statements: (a) I am healthier every day. (b) i attract peace into my life with each breath.
While the statement itself should be short, it can represent many facets to you. For example, "I am healthier everyday" can represent physical, mental, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual health all put together.
