Preposition-
- Preposition
for Yoga Nidra is Shavasana
The
practice procedure is very simple as you have to just listen to the prerecorded
commentary and follow the instruction mentally. It is adviced that one
should go through the course of Shavasana first before practicing Yoga
Nidra.
The
use of Prerecorded commentary will be made available in the “Practice
Period”. Tailor made commentary supporting your resolve also can
be made available on request. The founder of Yoga Nidra 'Swami Satayanand
Saraswati' had warned in the following paragraph of his book of Yoga Nidra,
for some of the achieved practices may bring about a deep state of relaxation
and meditation. It is very important, therefore, the mind be brought out
of this state gradually.
An abrupt transition for this deep state to waking consciousness temporarily
shocks the mind. And may cause a headache.
Similarly the depth of their relaxation frightens some people if they
are brought out of relaxed state too quickly. In either case the subject
should lie in shavasana and Practice awareness of breath until one becomes
calm.
