Relaxation or yoga Nidra
The state of our minds and the state of our bodies are intimately linked. If our muscles are relaxed, then our mind too is relaxed. In today’s world, we are bombarded with stimuli that leave our bodies in physical and mental tension. Such undue tension drains us of our energy and becomes the major cause of our tiredness and ill health.
Relaxation releases the muscular
tension, infusing the body with serenity. To relax is to rejuvenate. To
rejuvenate is the key to good health, vitality and peace of mind. Yoga nidra is
a gentle relaxation technique that requires a few minutes and is very effective
in our day-to-day lives.
