Restful Medicine: Meditations for Sleep & Wellbeing

This guided 40 minute Yoga Nidra meditation follows the neuroscience of sleep. Yoga Nidra is often referred to as Yogic Sleep or Transformational Rest and it is a progressive meditative relaxation technique that naturally slows your brainwave states to those similar to sleep. This meditation style is effortless so you can rest easily and deeply into a space where thoughts are free to come and go.

Yoga Nidra provides the tools for maintaining a sense of wellbeing and peacefulness, allowing the fluctuations of the mind to slow and return to a state of homeostasis allowing you to drift into a conscious, deep sleep state simply through the guidance of a systematic sequence of soothing and relaxing techniques that increase your awareness and deepens your relaxation.

Throughout the practice, you’re providing extra comfort and relaxation throughout the physical body allowing your brainwaves to regulate into a resting, calm, peaceful state that has been shown to help with insomnia, stress, grief, depression, anxiety, and symptoms from PTSD.

You do not need any prior experience to do this, just a listening ear, so it is best to wear headphones, but it is not necessary. Yoga Nidra allows you to tap into your very own awareness and experience and there is no wrong way to practice. Simply try to get as comfortable as you can and begin to deeply listen and follow along as best as you can.

As you practice Yoga Nidra more and more you’ll find deeper and deeper states of well-being and awareness. Try practicing Yoga Nidra every night to help you get a full night’s sleep, or try practicing throughout the day to rejuvenate and replenish your energy levels.
