About the course
Awareness, step by step
In Yoga Nidra we learn about awareness and how to take it step by step from the outer world of sounds and activities, through the body and then the mind, to the subconscious. We learn to switch off and focus the mind through body scans done in several ways. We learn different ways of focusing on the breath, and how to use the breath to go deep within, relax, release stress and refresh ourselves.
We learn how to use Yoga Nidra to get good sleep, to release stress & anxiety, to boost the immune system for self-healing, for improving concentration & memory, for tapping into creative ideas and solutions to problems, and for deepening our spiritual awareness.
In the deep subconscious, we explore and become familiar with our Chidakasha (the inner mind screen). We learn how to make and use a Sankalpa (positive intention) and how powerful it is in achieving our life's aspirations. We learn about visualization and how and what to visualize. We also experience the other inner senses and learn about the benefits, as well as experience opposite sensations. We learn about the power of the Ishta Devata (our favourite form or symbol of the Higher Consciousness) as well as how to recognize it and use it to connect to our Higher Self.
