Welcome to Spiritually Fit Yoga with Amelia Andaleon! Lay down, make yourself comfortable, and let me guide you into a relaxing state of yoga nidra. This meditation can give you 30 minutes of deep rest or listen to it as you get into bed and invite a deep sleep.

Yoga Nidra can lead you into a profound state of relaxation or sleep. 30 minutes of yoga nidra can be the equivalent of 2-4 hours of sleep. While it can mimic the effects of deep sleep, it is not a replacement for nightly sleep. Yoga Nidra is best used to supplement and improve the quality of your regular sleep.

Thank you for tuning into my podcast! Let me know what your experience was of this yoga nidra session! Comment below or DM me at Instagram @spirituallyfityoga or email me:

About Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a practice that induces deep relaxation and altered states of consciousness, characterized by shifts in brain wave activity.

Brain Wave States:

• Beta (13-30 Hz): Active, alert, and focused.
• Alpha (8-13 Hz): Relaxed, meditative, and drowsy.
• Theta (4-8 Hz): Deep relaxation, creativity, and subconscious access.
• Delta (0.5-4 Hz): Deep sleep and restorative processes.

Effects of Yoga Nidra on Brain Waves:

• Yoga Nidra promotes a gradual transition from beta to alpha, then theta, and potentially even delta brain waves.
• This shift allows for a deep sense of relaxation, reduced stress, and increased access to the subconscious mind.
• The theta and delta states are associated with enhanced memory, creativity, intuition, and emotional healing.

Benefits:

• Improved sleep quality
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Increased relaxation and well-being
• Enhanced creativity and intuition
• Access to subconscious memories and insights
• Improved emotional regulation
• 
  

Note: It's important to note that the exact brain wave patterns experienced during Yoga Nidra may vary depending on individual factors such as experience, practice style, and mental state.
