The Easiest And The Most Potent Stressbuster Technique : Yoga Nidra

The Easiest And The Most Potent Stressbuster Technique : Yoga Nidra

The one thing that the modern man of the 21st century faces in his day to day life is STRESS. It is a free commodity and by-product that we all get due to excessive mental work, which has become a way of functioning in this Hi-Tech Age. We all have to deal with stress in our routine lives and now we have become so accustomed to it. We have accepted Stress as a part of our life. But there is a way of life – minus Stress and there is a wonderful technique that helps us achieve a beautiful life – without Stress.

A little Stress in life actually adds to our functionality, as it makes us more Alert and watchful of our Actions. Hence we function with much more dexterity. But, when Stress crosses its limits and dominates every chore of our day to day lives, then it becomes very harmful and destructive to health. I know this thing particularly well as being a Currency Trader, I come across a significant amount of stressful situations every day in the ever turbulent financial markets, which never seem to be at peace with themselves.

But the good news is that I have come across a beautiful technique called Yoga Nidra, that helps me in executing my day to day life and progress in my career without any stress whatsoever. The same stressful activities that used to give me a poor health, bad digestion, unsound sleep and a very bad mood, have now become so easy and fun to do, that its hard for me to believe it that its actually possible to live Stress-free in these turbulent times.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient technique derived from the Tantra. It makes us more Conscious and we enter into relaxation with that higher Consciousness. The result is that the relaxation and sleep that we enter into, is much more sound and deep. Generally, when the day is too stressful, the sleep at night also carries the anxiety, frustration, anger and repressions with it. So, the sleep is not so relaxing and we wake up in the morning feeling somewhat tired. Yoga Nidra helps us be free of all negative conditionings and gives us a relaxation that comes out of deep meditation, one feels like having a trip of paradise after each session of Yoga Nidra.

The regular practise of Yoga Nidra prepares the ground for higher levels of Consciousness. One achieves better Concentration, Focus and sharper Intelligence- all of them ingredients of unparalled success. It’s a blissful journey where the benefits start to trickle in right from the very first session. Yoga Nidra is being used actively by the Medical Community to heal psychosomatic disorders and also to aid the learning process. Modern Medical Science is coming across many benefits of Yoga Nidra, and states that its just the tip of the Iceberg.

The advantage of living in this High-Tech Age is that we do not need to go to the deepest caves of the Himalayas to learn this technique from the Tantra Yoga Gurus. Its available as a pre-recorded musical CD, its just enough to listen to it awarefully and follow the instuctions. Each session brings more joy and Bliss into our lives, and by and by we learn how to live Stress-free in our daily lives. When we enter into our Career, family and social life in this manner, then Outstanding Success follows automatically. A look at the official website outlines the immense benefits of Yoga Nidra for people of all age groups.

Yoga Nidra ~ Energy Waves

It is often said that knowledge is power. This is simply not true because true power lies in the relationship of know how and acting out the how in the now. The relationship, like everything else, is a wave.

Most folks know what to do yet not everybody does what they know. For example most folks in what are called ‘first world’ countries know how important it is to eat healthily and stay fit yet vast numbers of people in these countries have health problems that are directly related to obesity and lack of proper exercise.

Some other examples: 1) most educated folks know that when they an iceberg at sea against the backdrop of a partially cloudy sky  that they are really observing four different forms of water as ice, liquid water, water vapor and ionized water; 2) when folks see an active volcano like Kilauea they know that they are seeing four different forms of the same thing as solid rock, liquid lava, gas vapors and plasma (fire; ionized materials); 3) people know that breathing is wave process of breathing air from outside your body, extracting the life-giving energy and expelling the wastes, (breathing earth, water and fire happens in the same manner – see Breathing Waves); and 4) modern scientists have demonstrated that the human brain has four basic brainwave patterns that correspond to four degrees or planes of consciousness … yet few folks act in ways that are in harmony with these examples of common knowledge.

Why?

The examples listed above and others like them are true yet folks have not made this knowledge their own by acting on it. Thus the energy wave breaks down. It is like a man who has a container of medication with a label on it that says ‘take two pills in the morning and two pills in the evening’ yet the man only ever reads the label and wonders why the medication does not have any impact on his health situation.

In this light the energy or power associated with knowledge is the energy wave of having the know how and acting out the how in the now such that the wave is complete and in order with the nature of things.

Yoga Nidra, the process of deep yoga relaxation, is a direct means for you to apply what you know by guiding you to breathe, relax and be aware through all four brainwave patterns.

Breathing Earth Water Air & Fire

Multi-Dimensional Balance_

What most people understand as breathing is respiration.   Respiration is the flow of inspiration and expiration punctuated by transition pauses.

Breathing is also circulation as flow through arteries and flow through veins punctuated with pauses between heartbeats.

It is self-evident that breathing unfolds as waves; what is not usually seen is that just as you breathe the gaseous-air element air, you also breathe the solid-earth element as food, you breathe the liquid-water element as liquid water and you breathe the plasma-fire element as things like heat, light and Vitamin D that we get from our sun.

In all cases you breathe these fundamental elements in the same manner that you breathe air. In all cases you take the fundamental element in from somewhere outside your body, you body’s inherent intelligence extracts the life-giving energies (see resonance) and it expels the wastes.

In other words you literally breathe earth, water, air and fire!
