Conscious Sleep - Lucid Dreaming and Yoga Nidra

We are happy to introduce a NEW series of Nidra-yoga workshops that we’ve prepared for students interested in the mysteries of the state of sleep and in the subtle planes of consciousness.

The yogis of India and Tibet have deemed the condition of sleep (in which we spend a considerable part of our lives) as an important gateway towards health and superior knowledge. The key to all that is a special state of conscious sleep – the “Yogic sleep” – called Yoga Nidra. In Yoga Nidra, one learns to blend the process of relaxing and sleeping, with the preservation of a clear state of awareness. This largely enhances the efficiency of sleep and relaxation and allows practitioners to follow the path to greater health (both physical and emotional/mental) as well as to higher knowledge (insight and self-realization).

Such a “Yogic sleep” promotes the natural release of serotonin, dopamine and other mysterious substances in the brain. This promotes focus and cognitive improvement, as well as healing and relaxation, at the same time. It purifies the mind from obsessive negative thoughts and emotions and it helps the practitioner to acquire a more positive mind and lifestyle. That helps you to enhance your daily activities, and also achieve your deeper goals.
