Dealing with insomnia? Frustrated by lack of sleep? Sometimes yoga nidra, a form of guided sleep meditation, can clear the mind before bed to help you fall asleep.
Yoga nidra (yogic sleep) is an ancient meditation technique that can be practiced by anyone, anywhere. Yoga nidra can create a receptive mind while releasing stress and tension. As a result, the technique also is a very effective method of dealing with insomnia.
If insomnia or poor sleep is affecting your life, speak with your primary care provider. Sleep disorders are very treatable — sometimes by simply making lifestyle changes.
