Meditation and Yoga Nidra (Relaxation and Stress Reduction, Healing and Rejuvenation) Audio CD – September 1, 2017

Yoga nidra (yogic sleep):A guided meditation technique that involves lying down and combining yoga poses with imagery to promote a deep state of relaxation.

This Yoga Nidra CD is by a western-qualified medical doctorwho has trained with the Bihar School of Yoga and written afew books for them.I came across him through "Yoga for the Digestive System"which has a 'lagoo; system to cleanse the digestive systemthat has given me a lot more energy.This CD is the real deal.Yoga NIdra is a meditation system that usually results in sleepfor beginners. If you practice you can stay conscious furtherinto the 'falling asleep' process when your imagination produces'hypnagogic images' which are crystal clear images you seebefore fully dreaming.If you become expert you can experience lucid dreaming.Our deep mind is very receptive to suggestion in these statesand Yoga Nidra is designed to produce a relaxation of the entirebeing that continues through daily life.I find I am very fussy about the voices in guided meditations. Iprefer calm, deeper male voices. The voice on this CD soundsvery relaxed - he sounds like he meditates a lot - which helpsinduce the relaxation.The background sound and music is pretty good for a YogaNidra production but don't expect super-high stereosonicproduction values. If you are after that check out DeepakChopra's 'The Sould of Healing Meditation" or The MonroeInstitute's "Gateway Experience Discovery 1". If you havespecific stress problems you need to protect against have alook at "The Calming Collection: Goodbye Worries" byRoberta Shapiro.Unlike the above suggestions, Yoga Nidra is specificallydesigned to to use the full healing and relaxing power ofthe sleep state to change your way of being.If you want to learn how to perform Yoga Nidra from anauthentic Swami, who is a native English speaker, thenthis CD is perfect !..

I do this meditation daily. It seems to keep me in a balance of relaxation and peace. My blood pressure is lower and my day is better for it. Thank you

I ordered this CD because I was haunted by the memory of an old Yoga Nidra cassette that I literally wore out about twenty years ago. I wanted the same experience again. This CD is quite different from my old cassette, but still did the trick in sending me quickly into the paradoxical waking-sleep state described by the narrator.

Liked that there were segments to chose from. I'm a seasoned meditator, so track #1 was irrelevant, #2 I use to relax before bed, #3 I have already seen results even though I fell asleep during the instructions the first time, wiggled like a fish out of water on the second try, and went to sitting up instead of lying down on the third try. Be clear about what you want to program your subconscious for. I asked for healing of body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Too much of a good thing. Many memories and emotions surfaced. Now I say: I am reclaiming my health. Changes are subtle, less dramatic/traumatic.I would suggest doing track #3 during the daytime, on your bed, when you won't be disturbed. Make sure you are comfortable. If you fall asleep you will wake up refreshed and energized. (Not good to do before bed.)

I rarely, if ever write reviews. However, in this case, I felt very strongly, that this man is a fake.He totally exaggerated what the Cd contained.I lived in India fir 6 years, and was very excited reading the product description.Don't be fooled by the other reviews, this is for beginners, with little or no experience.There are many better offerings on Amazon.I would avoid this so called swami, he is a scam artist, who will say anything on a product description to sell a CD and make some money...The worst Yoga Nidra CD ever.

ok

This is an excellent guided meditation to dive into the body and relax. It is spoken in a calming voice and giving a lot of silence to the listener. It can be recommended to persons who are involved in stress, problems and burnouts. It has a healing effect and a calming effect to the mind.I have to admit that it is not original yoga Nidra like of the tradition of Swami Rama as there is a concrete 61 point method behind Yoga Nidra and a technique to use the yoga nidra steps. My personal Yoga Nidra CD is from Swami Jnaneshwara Bharati and contains the original version, which was created to learn to be aware even in deep sleep and to discover the star of the Self.

Given it four stars as the voice sounds Australian and I a thought it would be Asian, but still good of what I have listened to.
