Yoga Nidra for Anxiety & Fear
Create a cosy cocoon and be guided into a state of peaceful stillness
Each month, I share a yoga nidra practice to guide you into deep rest…
A 30-minute guided practice that uses yoga nidra techniques to bring about a sense of peace and stillness in body and mind.
I will guide you through a body scan, a breath awareness practice and a calming visualisation. My voice is accompanied by gentle background music.
As always, please take responsibility for your own wellbeing and listen to your body’s wisdom. Make any adjustments you need and adapt the practice for any contraindications.
Settle down and enjoy this time of rest. I’d love to hear how you find this.
About Yoga Nidra:
Yoga nidra - the yoga of sleep - is a deeply relaxing practice for the mind, body and emotions. It has scientifically-proven benefits that include improving sleep quality, reducing stress and anxiety, can relieve chronic pain and can improve emotional wellbeing. It is a practice that is similar to irest and integrative relaxation and sometimes known as non-sleep deep rest.
Yoga nidra helps to calm the nervous system, heal the body and quieten the mind. I’ve heard yoga nidra described as a full-body massage for your nervous system… In other words, blissful. It’s designed to help you drop into the deepest state of rest and relaxation.
All you need is a warm and comfortable space where you can be uninterrupted throughout. You may like additional props for underneath the knees and the head, as well as extra layers and a blanket for warmth.
