This chapter delves into the benefits of non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) as a practice for relaxation and mental well-being, likening it to meditation and sharing personal experiences. It discusses how yoga nidra aids addicts in recovery by regulating impulses, managing agitation, and enhancing neuroplasticity in the brain. The chapter also highlights the effectiveness of NSDR in improving cognitive and physical vigor, offering resources for individuals to explore this practice for free.
Recently I had the pleasure of hosting a live event in Melbourne, Australia. This event was part of a lecture series called The Brain Body Contract. My favorite part of the evening was the question and answer period, where I had the opportunity to answer questions from the attendees of each event. Included here is the Q&A from our event at Plenary.
