Yoga Nidra for Depression. 25 mins

Welcome to this guided Yoga Nidrā for DepressionI'm so glad you are here. I invite you to reset your nervous system, sink into deep rest and set a fresh intention. What you will need to practice: A warm, comfortable and quiet spot. You can rest on the floor with a blanket and pillow in savasana or you can get cosy on the sofa or in your bed. Remember you will be laying still so you might cool down; layer up with a sweater and socks and cover up with a blanket. You may want headphones to listen. What to expect:Yoga Nidrā is a form of guided meditation that allows us to experience non-sleep deep rest (but it is ok if you fall asleep!) It is possible to experience the delta brain wave pattern of deep sleep even when awake while practising Nidrā. Expect to feel a greater sense of ease, a nervous system reset and a feeling of well-being. You will hear my voice leading you through the nidra, and sometimes there will be pauses to allow your mind and body to integrate the information. You simply need to rest in a comfortable position and listen. Some people stay awake for the entire meditation, and others fall asleep fast. You will have an opportunity to set an intention for your life, so you can experience a personal transformation. Yoga Nidra can be helpful for insomnia, anxiety, stress, PTSD, overthinking and more. Practising Yoga Nidra helps to promote relaxation, deep rest, health and healing. All of my Yoga Nidra guided meditation practices are led by me, a female voice, with original soothing, calm sleep music by Cliff Boyd. Many people experience insomnia relief by listening to Yoga Nidra. What to do after the Nidrā:After the Nidrā is complete, you may want to fall asleep, or you may want to listen to another Nidrā to stay in your place of deep rest. If you wish to get up and go about your day, I encourage you to roll gently to your right side, stay there for a few breaths and then sit up slowly. Re-enter your day gently. Many people will find that they experience a deep and restful sleep after practising Yoga Nidrā.
