Deep Rest Yoga Nidra and Mudra Meditation
Yoga Nidra is the state of conscious deep sleep. In Yoga Nidra, you’re awake and the body is in a very relaxed state. Yoga Nidra brings calmness, quietness and clarity. It’s one of the deepest of all meditations, leading awareness through many levels of mental process to a state of deep stillness and insight.
Mudras are hand gestures that can evoke particular states of mind such as calming or energizing.
