The Healing Power of Yoga Nidra

pratyahara, meditation and discussion 

Yoga nidra is essentially a method of pratyahara. It is a process that gradually withdraws our awareness from the outer world, and turns it inward. Deep relaxation occurs and this phase prepares us for the last three limbs, and the true inner limbs of yoga, dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and eventually (we hope) samadhi! The word “nidra” means sleep and, ironically, is classically considered a great enemy of yoga practice. We want to be conscious, aware, not asleep, when we do yoga. When the word nidra is paired with the word yoga, as in yoga nidra, it means something a little different than just sleep – it means sleep with awareness. It is a state of mind just between wakefulness and dream sleep. It means quieting the mind down to the point where you are just about to fall asleep, but you don’t fall asleep. You maintain a link to consciousness.
