Yoga Nidra

By: Xenia Splawinski

Narrated by: Xenia Splawinski

Yoga Nidra is considered to be the state in which the Gods reside. This is because the goal of Yoga Nidra is to attain complete relaxation while maintaining consciousness. The ability to do this allows for our deepest levels of creativity and healing energies to come to the surface. One session of Yoga Nidra is equal to approximately 3 hours of sleep in its ability to rejuvenate. Most of us when we sleep never really relax and truly let go into the deepest recesses of our unconscious and our connection to creation. This is what yoga nidra provides, the deep connection to our unconscious that leads to wholeness.

During a Yoga Nidra session you simply lie down and follow the instruction given without strain or undue effort. What comes easily, you do, what doesn't, you let it pass. You will also be asked to choose a resolution, something that you would like to develop in your life that will have a positive effect on your path to healing. The seed of this intention when spoken at the beginning and the end of Yoga Nidra gets planted deep into the unconscious where it motivates changes in behaviour and lifestyle situations that support your deepest heart's desire for healing to unfold. Yoga Nidra is suitable for all, and only requires the inner desire to discover relaxation and wholeness.

Not sure yet.

Xenia has a pleasant speaking voice on this audiobook meditation.
The first time I tried this was interesting. I even thought I might have experienced getting in touch with my inner self. However, I cannot say that practicing YOGA NIDRA is like feeling refreshed after a night of sleep. I felt a little relaxed afterwards, but nothing special or notable. YOGA NIDRA is very different than most meditations. It is very simple and is mainly about bringing awareness to your whole body. I will keep working with YOGA NIDRA and see what happens.

Love this "book"

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Have already recommended it to my sister.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Hard to think of it as a book. It is a guided exercise or experience. Her voice is soothing--she does explain the discipline before the first experience--and there are two experiences to choose from.

Any additional comments?

I've used other on-line guides and so far hers is my favorite.

Why change?

The previous version was perfect. Now it has changed and the music feels much louder. I don’t understand the change.

please bring back original version!

i prefer the older version with no music during the body scan. please bring back the original version!

Best yoga nidra

After looking for ages I struck gold, this is an excellent aid for any aspiring yogi or person seeking a good meditative guide to tranquillity. Worth the investment, I use it very often without tiring of the narrator. More than one variation to choose from.
