Introduction to Yoga Nidra ('yogic sleep') and its traditional and clinically tested benefits. Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation technique practiced while lying down, eyes closed. This technique falls under the limb of yoga called pratyahara, or sense withdrawal, as it is practiced by focusing only on sound and internal awareness. The practice has been traditionally used to explore the self (memories, emotions, instincts, drives), and increase awareness throughout all stages of consciousness to improve memory, learning, and sleep, plus decrease anxieties, bad habits and more. In the modern day, there has been research exploring the state of consciousness produced by the practice, as well as how it can be applied for stress, hormonal irregularities, sleep, and anxiety.
