- Chronic pain

- Depression
- Insomnia
- PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- Anxiety, restlessness, or stress-related disorders of any kind

Regular practice of Yoga Nidra is a healthy habit that rests, restores, and renews the body, mind and spirit, offering the opportunity to process and release the accumulated stress and tension that cause physical and mental illness.

Regular practitioners of Yoga Nidra report that they experience better sleep, less physical pain, and more emotional ease and well-being. It comes from the tantric Yoga tradition and it's practice is simple; all you do is lay down, listen, and receive as you are guided through all layers of your being to relax, heal, and rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit. Tantric is a Sanskrit word for expand, extend, or manifest.

Yoga Nidra helps you maintain your vital life energy, improve your sleep, your mood, and even prevent illness. When you're struggling with chronic pain, fatigue, or stress of any kind, any little challenge can make you feel like your going to collapse and crumble. It is at this time that you need to reconnect with yourself, your breath, and your environment. Yoga Nidra offers you a way to meet your everyday challenges with poise and balance, while reconnecting you to your authentic self.

Through regular practice of Yoga Nidra you can lessen symptoms and provide a much greater sense of control and ease in your life. It is a healthy habit that rests, restores, and renews the whole body, mind, and spirit, offering the opportunity to process and release accumulated stress and tension that cause physical, emotional, and mental dis-ease.

The most easily observable effect of Yoga Nidra practice is the extremely deep relaxation of your nervous system. Yoga Nidra has been clinically shown to be one of the most powerful methods available to achieve this state without the use of chemical agents.

Yoga Nidra usually takes from twenty to forty five minutes to complete. The person lies on his or her back in totally relaxed posture (shivasana -posture simulating dead body). Eyes are lightly closed, arms are kept with palms facing upwards, breathing is natural and quiet. All you do is lie down, listen, and receive!

Take a deeply relaxing journey with me and receive answers and solutions you need to feel whole again. Amazing healing awaits you!

Namaste,
Dr. Deirdre
