5.0 out of 5 stars Learning to relax with yoga nidra, July 10, 2000
By 
Nenad Ivanovic (Burnaby, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga Nidra/2009 Re-print (Paperback)
If you recognize stress as an inherent part of modern life, and see stress as a cause for many psychosomatic illnesses, you'll be interested in Yoga Nidra by Swami Satyananda.

Satyananda's premise is simple and elegant. Our minds are mainly turned outward, concentrated on the external events. When turned inward, our minds are mainly obsessed with unresolved events from the past or worries related to the present or future. These become additional sources of stress. We try to relax by engaging in activities such as reading the newspaper or watching television, but we are relaxing in a wrong way. These activities keep our senses active, which do not promote true relaxation.

Yoga nidra is a natural technique for real relaxation, with senses turned off and a peacefully focused mind. This yoga technique does not make our mind lazy and sleepy. Instead, it brings us to a state of complete physical, emotional and mental relaxation and increased inner awareness. Satyananda has brought us this practice through a practical book with detailed descriptions of yoga nidra techniques. Yoga nidra is a meditative technique of aware sleeping; "nidra" means "sleep" in Sanskrit. This meditative technique brings us to a state of conscience between sleep and awakened awareness - in other words, a sleep state without loss of awareness. In such a state, we experience a deep relaxation and latent contents of our subconscious are being awaked. This has a strong healing effect on us and removes obstacles we may find hindering our self-development.

Reading this book will definitely expand your views, but it's the diligent practice of yoga nidra that will yield positive changes. Accept Swami Satyananda's invitation to a spiritual pilgrimage to a state of relaxation and see what happens.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Relaxation at its Best, December 3, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yoga Nidra/2009 Re-print (Paperback)
This book is a treasure trove of information; very readable presentation with great insight on medical and yogic issues related to this ancient practice. Yoga Nidra is more than relaxation, it is a way to access the deepest levels of the Self through the progressive suspension of distractions. It leads the individual through progressive relaxation, visualization, affirmation, and insight. Its practice synchronices the hemispheres of the brain by utilizing sound as the means of guidance. The Monroe Institute uses the same principles in its Gateway Program which uses "Hemisync" to lead the individual through progressive relaxation, affirmation, visualization by means of specific sound frequencies. If you think you may be interested in consciousness exploration give this book a try. No dangerous effects..at worst you fall asleep. This book offers an excellent practice that yields results! Great buy at any price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yoga Nidra, January 9, 2007
By 
Bradley A. Cassidy (Burnaby, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Yoga Nidra/2009 Re-print (Paperback)
For anyone interested in yoga and personal development this book introduces a modernized explanation of an ancient form of self improvement through a specialized type of guided visualization. The information is very complete offering theory, practise and scientific research on the subject. Particularly useful are the various scripts for the visualizations themselves that allow a facilitator or student ready access to developing the practise.

I found the material concise and easy to read despite a slight quaintness in the style that points to it's origins in another era and culture. A delightful and highly useful book
