IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS FOR NIDRA MEDITATION

Nidra is not just guided meditation, it is a powerful practice unlike any other

You're busy, and you have a lot of demands on your time, but you want to feel better; fitter, 

happier, healthier, and less stressed. In this meditation rewire your brain towards a fully expressed, confident, calm and clear minded version of you. It may feel like you just don’t have any time at all, but I promise, taking a bit of time to be present in stillness will rejuvenate and refocus you and enable you to move in your day with heightened effectiveness and ease. 

Before you begin

You will either sit up, or (preferably for this style of meditation) lie down on a mat or soft flooring, and get very comfortable, perhaps place a cushion under your knees and head.

Cover your body with a blanket or coat, as your internal temperature will drop during Nidra.

You may want to cover your eyes with a towel or mask.

Set an intention before you start that any outside disturbance you hear during the meditation will only bring you into a deeper state of peace and healing. You just need to acknowledge the disturbance and then bring your attention back to the sound of my voice.

Design an intention

I will be asking you to have an intention at the beginning, middle and end of the practice. Sometimes I suggest one in the Nidra, at other times I leave time for you to create one for yourself (feel free to contact me for help with this) . When you are in the later half of the meditation (when the brain is mostly in the Delta Brainwave state) you are in your deepest state of relaxation, both mentally and physically.  

The Delta Brainwave state is a place of unlocked healing and integration. From this subtlest state of being, you quiet the overstimulated prefrontal cortex that house the language centres and taxed executive functions. Therefore the guiding words I offer are received “directly and non mentally” by the limbic system and you are able to incorporate positive changes into your life without the internal debate, limiting beliefs and other blocks of the mind. 

When the Nidra is over

It is very important to move slowly as you gradually come back to full awareness and energy levels. It may be tempting to “get going” but if you jump up immediately if may result in “Detox Symptoms” (sluggishness, etc.). So take your time, and sit for a minute to meditate and integrate the powerful positive mental and physical changes you created. 

physiological changes

You will notice the following physiological changes after a few days of regular practice. 

  • GABA (Body's version of Valium) Decreased anxiety, depression, muscle tension, cardiac stress Studies on breast cancer, PTSD ADHD, HBP, obesity, insomnia, alcoholism and many more.

  • MELATONIN slows aging, improves sleep

  • SEROTONIN (& other neurotransmitters) Mood regulator Cognitive functioning Decreased depression Sleep disorders Tendency to overeat Increased motor skills, balance

  • BRAIN SYNCHRONIZATION Increasing neural communication producing increased mental clarity and balance

  • CORTISOL, EPINEPHRINE, NOREPINEPHRINE, LACTATE Overall decrease in anxiety and overall tension in body Reducing cortisol: body weight (belly fat) memory loss

  • PARASYMPATHETIC healing and restoration state Improved digestion, elimination immune response, blood sugar balance (diabetes)

  • INHIBITION OF STRESS RESPONSE Decrease in and decreased sensitivity fight/flight hormones (Takes more to initiate stress response)

  • BLOOD FLOW Improved organ function in brain, heart, kidneys, liver, etc.

  • IMMUNITY Greater resistance to disease. More antibodies against tumours and viruses.

  • DIABETES Type II Diabetes: In some diabetics, relaxation can reduce the need for insulin Pain: In many patients with chronic, unbearable pain, relaxation brings relief

  • BLOOD PRESSURE patients who had been trained to relax significantly lowered their blood pressure and had maintained that reduction four years later. In 1984, a National Institutes of Health report recommended the use of relaxation, along with the and weight loss as the first therapy for mild hypertension.
