Practicing Yoga Nidra regularly helps to balance the nervous system, making it an effective tool for managing anxiety, enhancing focus, and supporting overall mental clarity. It is accomplished through specific techniques that allow the mind and body to reach a state of bliss. The practice moves through the layers of the subtle body (or the koshas) to achieve its goal of deep rest. The superconscious state of yoga nidra helps us to heal and reintegrate these layers as they become displaced by the traumas we experience in our lives.
Evidence-based research studies are demonstrating the healing benefits of the practice of yoga nidra. Here are a few of the positive effects on mind/body/spirit…
Increased dopamine levels (dopamine is the chemical associated with pleasure and bliss)
Increased brain activity and blood flow in areas responsible for sensory imagery
Increased heart rate variability (HRV) which is a marker for cardiac health
Decreased anxiety and depression
Decreased symptoms related to trauma (multiple studies done by the military for veterans with PTSD)
Improved quality of sleep (1 hour of Yoga Nidra=4 hours of sleep)
Increased creativity and whole brain functioning
Shift from Sympathetic Nervous System (fight/flight/freeze) to Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest and digest)
