How Yoga Nidra Works...
Yoga Nidra is a multifaceted healing modality that can be tailored to serve one's personal development, spiritual evolution, or to supplement treatment regimens of a wide variety of conditions from chronic anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and more.
Central to the Yoga Nidra process is the creation of progressively slower brain-wave states, a process called Transient Hypofrontaility, that allows the nervous system to return to its natural, relaxed balance.
Once the client is brought to this state, disentangled from the habituated thoughts, beliefs, and tensions of waking consciousness, the Yoga Nidra instructor is able to dispense specific techniques to help neutralize the underlying causes and conditions of dis-ease.
Whether the ultimate goal is spiritual realization or health and wellness, Yoga Nidra's intentional process of healing has made it effective in addressing a wide range of challenges.
