Diary of a Modern Yogi
The Blog of 1Y&F
Join Terri on Thursday mornings from 10:30-11:30 am for a stress relieving Restorative Yoga practice. This is a class available to Yogis of any skill level.
A Restorative Pose is any pose in which the arrangement of your bones, the support of the props, and the gentle pressure of gravity work together to re-channel the breath to the designated organ system that the pose supports.
Start with 30 minutes of a relaxing, meditative stretching series and 30 minutes of Nidra.
Yoga Nidra or "yogic sleep" is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going to sleep" stage. It is a stage which the body is completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner world by following a set of instructions (similar to guided meditation) led by the teacher.
It has been estimated that stress is the underlying cause of as much as 80% of illnesses. Stress comes in many forms, many of them so much a part of our routine that we fail to recognize them as problems. These hidden stressors continually barrage us, and cumulatively they result in a wide range of health issues, including premature aging, degenerative diseases, insomnia, indigestion, high blood pressure, heartburn, addictions to alcohol, drugs and tobacco, and more.
Struggle is not an effective solution to change stressful, self-destructive behavior patterns because these habit patterns are deeply embedded in the pre-programming of the karmic body. To release these blockages, you must dismantle them at their very core.
Yoga Nidra takes you beyond the barriers of the five senses. In this realm, which we call the “Zero Stress Zone,” you have the power to actualize your intentions, affirmations and prayers. Yoga Nidra initiates shifts from the deepest core of your being and provides you with powerful tools to eliminate stress and banish self-destructive unconscious fears, beliefs and habits. Your life begins to synchronize with your intentions because you no longer fight yourself.
This technique is neither logical nor psychological. It is a quantum leap beyond the comprehension of the intellect to the domain of trust and faith, love and compassion. It bypasses the linear approach and allows you to resolve destructive patterns of behavior at their source. Yoga Nidra is the single most powerful tool that can help you reshape your life, rebuild your health, and renew your life.
