Yoga Nidra\u00a0<\/span>is a very ancient\u00a0<\/span>tantric\u00a0<\/span>meditation technique done in the posture of shavasana\u00a0<\/span>(lying on your back) where the body is totally relaxed while the consciousness remains awake and alert.<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/www.blooming-lotus-yoga.com\/bliss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/bw-flower-bg5.jpg” parallax=”on” transparent_background=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ text_text_color=”#353535″ text_font_size=”18px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Yoga Nidra<\/em> is a doorway to uncovering your true nature.\u00a0 It is an invaluable tool for releasing deep seated emotions and limiting thought patterns that obscure the truth of who we really are.<\/p>\n

We are being guided during Yoga Nidra<\/em> to completely let go of all tension and holding patterns in the body, which allows for any stored memories, feelings, and emotional or mental blockages to surface and dissolve.\u00a0 When we free ourselves from these blockages, we free our body, minds and hearts, and we are able to live in total peace, joy, and freedom.<\/p>\n

Of all the meditation techniques available, Yoga Nidra<\/em> may well be one of the most easy, accessible and powerful techniques for individuals of all levels of experience.<\/p>\n

What makes this meditation technique so appealing is that it\u2019s done while lying on your back while remaining completely relaxed.\u00a0 You honestly\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0ask for more comfort when it comes to ancient yogic techniques!<\/p>\n

Even for the experienced meditator, Yoga Nidra<\/em> provides an excellent alternative or companion to one\u2019s seated meditation practice, especially in times of mental, emotional, or physical stress when sitting meditation becomes more difficult.<\/p>\n

Yoga Nidra<\/em> is not only an incredible technique to help realize your true nature, but it is a priceless resource for recovering from any physical, emotional or mental turmoil you have experienced in your life.<\/p>\n

Stress, fatigue, anxiety, ill health, confusion, and unwanted habits can all be removed with the help of Yoga Nidra<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Insomnia can be cured and the ability to experience deep, restorative sleep can be attained.\u00a0 In fact, during continued practice of Yoga Nidra<\/em>, you should expect to find your sleep patterns improve dramatically, even to the extent of needing less time for sleep while feeling completely rested and rejuvenated.<\/p>\n

The depth and extent to which Yoga Nidra<\/em> can change your life can depend largely on your intention or what is called in Sanskrit<\/em> \u201cSankalpa<\/em><\/strong>\u201d…<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ header_3_text_color=”#353535″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

The Sankalpa, in Yoga Nidra, is specifically guided to take place at certain stages within the practice so that the seed of intention can be planted deep within the subconscious levels of mind.<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/www.blooming-lotus-yoga.com\/bliss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/bw-flower-bg5.jpg” parallax=”on” transparent_background=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ text_text_color=”#353535″ text_font_size=”18px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

When we plant the seed of intention deep within, we are bypassing the conscious mind that tends to accept and reject things based on its conditioned patterning.\u00a0 Thus, allowing for suppressed emotions and thought patterns to surface without being filtered through the habitual patterns of attachment and aversion.<\/p>\n

The power of the Sankalpa<\/strong><\/em> is so strong when applied during the practice of Yoga Nidra<\/em>, that it should be used with great intelligence and purpose, such as for personal development that leads to Self-realization – as it was originally intended.<\/p>\n

When we work with a spiritual Sankalpa<\/em><\/strong>, as in developing the desire to realize the Self, or Atman<\/em>, in turn, all of our problems, habits and tendencies will also be resolved and we will become more balanced, happy and fulfilled.<\/p>\n

When working with intention or Sankalpa<\/em><\/strong>, there are a few very important guidelines to follow in order to ensure that the intention is deeply planted for successful manifestation:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ background_enable_image=”off” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”50||50|” custom_padding_tablet=”50px|0|50px|0″ custom_padding_phone=”” transparent_background=”off” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,3_5,1_5″ admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”The intention should be very precise and clear” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%57%%” icon_color=”#22c9af” icon_placement=”left” admin_label=”Blurb” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ header_text_align=”left” body_text_color=”#353535″ body_font_size=”18px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” animation=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

In order for it to seep deep into the subconscious & unconscious mind.<\/p>\n

Example:\u00a0 \u201cI am balanced and pure in mind, body and soul\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Avoid phasing your sankalpa in the negative or as an aspiration of what will happen in the future<\/p>\n

Example, \u00a0\u201cI am healthy & healed.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Avoid: “I am not going to feel ill anymore”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The vibration connected with Gratitude is very high and powerful and increases the likelihood of manifestation.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Example: \u201cThank you for a body free of smoke & illness\u201d\u00a0 or \u201cThank you for an awakened mind, body, and heart\u201d<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

When working with Sankalpa<\/em><\/strong>, it is suggested that you work with one intention at a time, and use it continuously throughout your practice of Yoga Nidra<\/em> until it has come into manifestation. \u00a0The time required to manifest your intention depends on both the nature of your Sankalpa<\/strong><\/em>, the degree to which it is planted in the mind, and your sincerity and deep felt desire to manifest your intention.<\/p>\n

Yoga Nidra<\/em> is truly an amazing technique, that when coupled with Sankalpa<\/em><\/strong>, can be a very powerful way to transform our lives.<\/p>\n
