DISCONTINUED Guided Relaxation Yoga Nidra with Jennifer Reis Sometimes called "yogic sleep," Yoga Nidra describes the practice of deep, meditative visualization - often described as a state between waking and dreaming. It was developed from ancient Tantric techniques by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Jennifer Reis, an instructor at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, has developed this CD to take listeners through a very intentional relaxation process, including a track that is meant to bring on deep, restful sleep even if you suffer from occasional insomnia.      Reis' voice, accompanied by soothing instrumentation, takes you through each layer of awareness from the physical body inward to the energetic bodies. In "Healing Chakra Chorus," she visits each of the chakras using their colors and imagery and engages in a tantric practice called nyasa - where the person meditating envisions themselves placing flowers and sounds into specific energy points to begin healing imbalances.       The second track, "Seven Directions to the Source," takes inspiration from Native American traditions - the four cardinal directions, corresponding aspects (season, energy, element, color and animal) and finally the three directions, earth, sky and within. The visualization guides you towards discovering a totem symbol, which opens energetic pathways for healing. Finally, "Sweet Dreams" is meant to guide the practitioner into deep sleep. Acting as a soothing lullaby, it helps release the thinking mind and calm the body and breath. Some benefits of a Yoga Nidra practice: Relax mental, muscular and emotional tensions Turn off the flight-or-fight response Awaken the body’s healing mechanisms Restore emotional and mental balance Strengthen memory and improve concentration Reduce or eliminate habitual thought patterns Attain profound rest; deeper and more healing than sleep Revitalize and renew energy Awaken creativity Cultivate deep calm and clarity Nurture self-compassion, trust, and confidence Lower high blood pressure and cholesterol levels Increase blood flow to the heart Tracks: Healing Chakra Chorus (22 mins) Seven Directions to the Source (44 mins) Sweet Dreams (12 mins) For Insomnia.This is intended to put you to sleep.
