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.

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!

Perfect

Perfect to listen to at bedtime for falling asleep to or any other time of the day, even before morning coffee. You can use it to listen to completely without falling asleep or to help you fall asleep. I listen to it every single night.

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.

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.

Wonderfully relaxing Cd.

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

I have never done Yoga Nidra Before. And this was so easy and enjoyable.

Any additional comments?

I listened to yoga Nidra at 1/2 speed on my ipod, because i found that the Author was speaking too fast for me to relax.

Brings Me Peace

I've used this Yoga Nidra meditation for several years. The narrator's voice is soothing, the process she takes you through is truly restorative.

Relaxing and Enlightening

like both session but the second is my favorite. Makes it easy to meditate for those like myself who have trouble keeping the mind focused on nothing.

Yoga Nidra

This audio instruction is the best guided yoga nidra instruction I have found. The instruction is clean and clear (following closely the style from the original text by Swami Satyananda Saraswati)and the results are much like awakening from a good massage. There are other nidra tapes available on the internet - I explored several from Amazon and they are rather strange - poorly read/ strange imagery, droning vocals etc. Stick with this one if you want a relaxing, soothing result. Purchase Saraswati's text Yoga Nidra if you need further explanation on the rationale behind the practice.
