There is limited scientific evidence that the technique helps relieve stress. It is applied by the US Army to assist soldiers to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The modern form of the technique, pioneered by Dennis Boyes in 1973, made widely known by Satyananda Saraswati in 1976, and then by Swami Rama, Richard Miller, and others has spread worldwide. That derives from 19th and 20th century Western "proprioceptive relaxation" as described by practitioners such as Annie Payson Call and Edmund Jacobson. These texts however offer no precedent for the modern technique of guided meditation. Yoga nidra is linked to meditation in Shaiva and Buddhist tantras, while some medieval hatha yoga texts use "yoganidra" as a synonym for the deep meditative state of samadhi. Yoga nidra ( Sanskrit: योग निद्रा, yoga nidrā) or yogic sleep in modern usage is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, typically induced by a guided meditation.Ī state called yoga nidra is mentioned in the Upanishads and the Mahabharata, while a goddess named Yoganidrā appears in the Devīmāhātmya. Shavasana, the usual pose for the practice of yoga nidra All in all, this is a most intelligent, creative, and compassionate effort.State of consciousness between waking and sleeping induced by a guided meditation He talks with authority not only on its spiritual intent, but also on its application to the vicissitudes of daily life, such as stress, insomnia, anxiety, fear, and anger. He’s one of the most qualified people I can think of to lead this practice.
Miller, a student of one of the 20th century’s great Vedanta teachers, Jean Klein, is also a doctor of clinical psychology. The remaining track guides you through a complete, 35-minute meditation based on the same process. Beginning with the physical body, each sheath in turn is imaginatively contacted, explored, and integrated into its subtler neighbor, the work culminating in the fullness of the authentic self. The first five tracks are short meditations (6 to 12 minutes long), which can be done individually or in sequence. The meditation is structured according to an ancient teaching that the authentic self is surrounded by five sheaths ( kosha), from the gross material body to the subtlest bliss body. The accompanying 80-minute CD leads you through the actual practice. (Vedanta posits the union of the embodied or individual self, jiva atman, and the universal self, parama atman, famously summarized in the phrase “That art thou,” tat tvam asi.) The book gives a general view of how and why to practice yoga nidra, some details about the different stages of the practice, and Miller’s reflections on the work. Richard Miller’s 92-page book lays out the practice’s supporting theory, which is strongly influenced by Vedanta, one of the six orthodox Hindu philosophies.

Said to be an ancient teaching, yoga nidra consists of a series of meditation-like exercises that gradually wake you up to your true nature. The reverse is true for the yoga practitioner, who’s put his or her limited self to “sleep” and is “awake” to his or her authentic self yoga nidra is the ultimate awakening. Yogis say most people, while “awake” to the world, are “asleep” to their authentic selves.
Yoga nidra means “yoga sleep”-but in this case, “sleep” is a kind of pun. Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members!
