Experience Yoga Nidra: Guided deep relaxation
Written and said about Experience Yoga Nidra ''At home I use the CD 2-3 times a week. The relaxation effect is wonderful. I have realised that my verbal understanding is strengthened by practising yoga nidra. Memories and past experiences seep up and I discover that the way I am relating to myself is changing slowly but surely. My sense of self is strengthened - and I've become more and more caring (friendly, patient and permissive), also towards myself. It feels really good. Like the experience of finding peace and feeling eased now and then.'' -Anneli Wiberg, Sweden''We had not expected the meditators to be able to control their consciousness to such an extent.'' -Brain researcher Troels Kjar, The Kennedy Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark''After the course I have continued to use the Yoga Nidra CD and found other benefits, such as reduced anxiety and better sleep. I am very grateful to Swami Janakananda for providing such a wonderful gift to humanity. Thank you.'' -Liam Phillips, Australia''I have had the Experience Yoga Nidra CD for a month. I found the instruction on the CD clear and easy to follow. I do the long version each morning first thing and early evening I do the short version and follow with meditation. I definitely feel more relaxed and cope better with everyday setbacks even this early. And the effect seems to be cumulative. The yoga nidra is a joy to do and I haven't needed any self discipline to keep me motivated. I wish I had found the CD years ago as I have suffered from depression a long time and I really believe that yoga nidra is helping already. Once again thanks for the Experience Yoga Nidra CD.'' -Margaret Green, UK''I am always more relaxed and energized and able to cope with the day better after I use the CD. I have given the CD as a present to many friends who have also found it very beneficial.'' -Anne Clutterback, Mackay, Australia''I noticed the effect of my first trial of Yoga Nidra for hours afterwards. It's hard to describe really, I was definitely more relaxed than usual, but not at all sluggish or slow, quite the opposite. It continually amazes me that such seemingly simple instructions can have such a strong effect. The quality of my sleep has improved greatly since I started using the CD.'' -Nicola Birch, UK''I remain very impressed with the CD. I get a lot of solicitations and often do not respond to them because the quality is not always that good. This CD is more than the exception to the rule, hence my enthusiasm. I enjoy it not only because it was produced with quality, but because I can tell from the instructions and the voice guiding it that wisdom and experience, combined with a gentle strength and power, are leading the deep relaxation methods through Swami Janakananda.'' -Dr. Lisa Love, USA''This work is a hit, if you can talk about hits within relaxation.'' -A. Thomson, UK''After a number of years of having a stressed life with a job that almost ruined my ability to live in the present, I'm now happy to face each new day again, not worrying unnecessarily about tomorrow. I have learnt to laugh again. I think it's fantastic.'' -E. Berg, Sweden''Yoga Nidra is different from anything I have heard before. It is accompanied by nature sounds and the Indian musician Roop Verma. Sound symbols for the various chakras are also played, from the music tradition called Nada Yoga. Naturally, this practice is an individual experience. Personally, I find it utterly fascinating. I feel refreshed and revitalised after the practice, and I know I will continue with it.'' -Nils-Olof Jacobsen in the magazine Sokaren, Sweden<p. ''Yoga Nidra is much more than a deep relaxation; it is a total experience that touches and awakens all parts of your being.'' ---Swami Janakananda--This text refers to an alternateAudio CDedition.
