Unwind with Yoga Nidra and the Soothing Bansuri Flute
Yoga Nidra is not just relaxation though, it's a journey into your consciousness - don't be surprised if you go into a waking dream state, this is very common and you may drift in and out of consciousness without being aware of having slept.
Ever felt the need to escape the chaos of daily life and find a moment of true peace? In this episode of the 'Yoga by Nature Podcast', Morven Hamilton invites you on a 20-minute journey of Yoga Nidra, accompanied by the calming notes of the Bansuri Flute. Recorded at Penny Brohn Cancer Care in Bristol, this session is designed to take you beyond simple relaxation and into a state of deep, conscious rest.
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as 'yogic sleep', is a practice that guides you through layers of consciousness, sometimes even leading to a dream-like state. Don't be surprised if you drift in and out of awareness, discovering new aspects of the practice each time you listen. Morven emphasizes the importance of comfort, suggesting you lie on your back, though she's known to practice it in various settings—just avoid doing it while driving!
Throughout the session, you'll experience techniques like the rotation of consciousness, visualizations, and breath counting. Morven also touches on the symbolism of the thousand-petalled Lotus, adding a rich layer of meaning to your practice. The soothing Bansuri Flute enhances this experience, helping you sink deeper into relaxation. Morven's background in Yoga Nidra and her work with cancer care provide a compassionate and knowledgeable guide for this journey.
Whether you're new to Yoga Nidra or have been practicing for years, this episode offers something unique each time you listen. So, find a quiet space, get comfortable, and let Morven's gentle guidance lead you to a place of profound rest and rejuvenation.
