Transformation through personal applications illustrates the versatility of Yoga Nidra. Rachel, my client, was able to manage the pain of fibromyalgia through nightly sessions of Yoga Nidra. Tom, an office worker, was able to lessen his mid-day anxieties without leaving his desk. Elderly practitioners enjoy an improved quality of sleep. Students indicate an improved performance in exams. Applications serve various needs effectively.
Contraindications are minimal. The vast majority of people practice quite safely. Those who have severe PTSD should consult experts first. Epileptics are better off abstaining from visualisation-rich practices! My experience is that about 95% would be suited to everybody. Listen to your own body and its response, and start slowly, gradually increasing the duration.
Begin enjoying tailored benefits today. Pick an easy guided session. Give 20 minutes a day for 1 week. Notice physical and mental changes. Journal about your experiences each day. Daily practice has cumulative benefits, improving in proportion to your individual needs and lifestyle.
