Yoga Nidra
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
|
|
People feel that they are relaxing when they collapse in an easy
chair with a drink or a cigarette and read a newspaper or switch
on the television. But this, in fact, is merely a sensory diversion;
true relaxation is an experience far beyond all this. For complete
relaxation you must remain aware. This is Yoga Nidra, the state
of dynamic sleep.
This book introduces the practice of Yoga Nidra explaining how
it works in both yogic and scientific terms. It includes several
class transcriptions and covers the many applications of this versatile
technique which has been used for deep relaxation, for educational
purposes and to harmonise the deeper unconscious.
"In my early childhood I was guided through Yoga Nidra by
Swami Satyananda Saraswati and it is only now that I am becoming
aware of the depth of the instructions and training I received."
Quote from Swami Niranjanananda.
Suitable for all practitioners.
