Episode notes
Prepare Your Space For Rest
- Lie down, get really comfortable, and use a pillow and blanket to support restful temperature and posture.
- Set a 30-minute alarm or sleep timer so you can safely fall asleep during the practice.
The Brainwave Benefit Of Yoga Nidra
- Yoga nidra shifts brainwaves from active beta into alpha and theta, a liminal state between wakefulness and deep sleep.
- This state increases receptivity to learning, creativity, and access to the subconscious.
Use A Sankalpa To Seed Intention
- Set a sankalpa: a short, present-tense positive intention from the heart, like "I am calm."
- Repeat the sankalpa silently three times to plant it in the softer state of mind.
