While yoga is a familiar concept to most, have you explored the transformative power of yoga nidra meditation? Often dubbed as 'conscious sleep,' yoga nidra delves deep into the realms of the mind, offering a potent antidote to stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.
Unlike fleeting solutions like massages, yoga nidra doesn't merely mask tension—it addresses its roots. By guiding the body into a parasympathetic (relaxed) state, it facilitates profound rest, allowing both body and mind to unwind naturally, alleviating anxiety and promoting peace.
But here's the magic: it's not about adding more to your plate—it's about simplifying. This meditation practice is effortlessly done lying down, requiring nothing more than your attentive presence. Through a meticulously crafted protocol, it gently encourages the conscious mind to let go, unveiling the root causes of physical and mental patterns, including anxiety.
Experience the profound transformation that yoga nidra offers. As you rewrite your relationship with thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, you'll discover a newfound sense of clarity and empowerment, liberating yourself from the grip of anxiety. It's time to break free from unconscious conditioning and embrace a life of profound awareness and possibility through meditation.
Meditating with Davina was like getting a good night's sleep. Davina's voice was calming and nurturing, and I always came our on the other side feeling calmer and well-rested.
I found your meditations and they are absolutely incredible. Thank you for these amazing gifts!
I listen to your meditations everyday and they really help me with my anxiety!
Davina’s meditations have transformed my life and have moved me in beneficial ways I couldn’t have even imagined.
Without undergoing her guided meditation exercises, days are drab, and discomforting experiences are more palpable and less tolerable.
Yoga nidra meditation mimics sleep but is much more than our regular night-time sleep. We can quickly drop into deeper states of consciousness and brain-wave states using this practice.
Science now shows why Yoga Nidra is such a powerful practice! Using EEG machines which measure brainwaves, Yoga Nidra practitioners move from waking beta brain wave state to theta and even delta brain wave state.
Yoga Nidra literally quietens down the frequency of our thoughts which we can think of as brainwaves.
Stage 1 - Beta To Alpha
When we are in beta brainwave state, we are fully identified with our external world, our to do lists, emails and work etc. Most of us spend the majority of our days in this state unless we are in creative industries such as painting or art in which case you would be in alpha state.
When you close your eyes and begin to move from the external world to the internal world, you move into alpha brainwave state and your nervous system begins to relax and you open up to the feelings and sensations in the body. It's in this stage that we do a body scan to fully relax the body.
Stage 2 Alpha Stage
During this stage your body is completely relaxed, but you're still somewhat alert. This relaxed Awareness makes you feel good - it produces serotonin and heart coherence. You may start to have more creative thoughts or ideas.
Stage 3 Alpha To Theta Stage
After about 20 minutes the brain really begins to slowdown and enters into a theta brainwave state which is the similar to the brainwaves of REM sleep at night. The difference being that you are actually awake during this stage unlike sleep where you are not conscious! It's kind of like you're day dreaming... there's a screen in front of your mind and you might be visiting past memories or dream-like scenes flash in front of your eyes.
During this stage, you don't feel as identified with the experiences you are having, it could be something negative which arises yet you simply watch this screen with open non-judgemental Awareness. This is very healing for the mind as past memories and events can be processed without the emotional charge of stress or anxiety that you would have if you were in beta brainwave stage.
Stage 4 Theta To Delta Stage
At a much deeper level is delta brainwave state which is the most restorative state we can enter, in fact, doctors induce this state when they put patients into a coma after a brain injury so that the brain and body can heal itself! This is the equivalent of deep dreamless sleep at night with the difference in Yoga Nidra meditation being that you are aware.
During this stage of the Yoga Nidra meditation we welcome gratitude or do a loving-kindness practice, anything related to the heart and joy which help to stimulate the neurotransmitter Anandamide, the “bliss molecule,” which incidentally gets its name from the Sanskrit word 'ananda' meaning bliss or joy.
