Or 20 minutes = 2 hours
What kind of math is this?
Math of “yogic” sleep – quality sleep where brain waves reach that “sleep” with awareness, consciousness. Yes, that underrated sleep. When you get up in the morning not feeling refreshed, energized and bright eyed, that’s when you need it the most while regular practice would ward off those unwelcomed state of fatigue, lethargy, disease, negativity, physic and physical paralysis…
So 20 minutes is equivalent to 2 hours of sleep in “restorative yoga” sessions; 1 hour might be 3 hours in Yoga Nidra if you are able to … I say if you are “able” to because for some, its very challenging to be with their own thoughts – so the intention to take away as much as possible the physical discomfort or emotional disturbances – the DISTRACTIONS… that I usually “clear” “cleanse” “purify” with other techniques.
In other words, you are not passed out and unconscious letting life pass you by like sand in the hourglass; just UNPLUGGED to the outside; fully charging up in the inside. Fearing becoming susceptible to slip into coma? No, jokes aside – it’s not a coma – an entrapment within one’s body – but enlivened life-like dreams and some might say, trip-ish, but this is the natural way. Natural, using your own inner chemicals you were inborn with. Nothing toxic or artificial – just pure nectar from the honeycombs you’ve nurtured within you. The practice empowers you to produce and boost those chemicals and bring you into that state that promotes healing and – its the source of all creativity and intuition…
20 minutes of Savasana = 2 hours of sleep and
One Hour of Yoga Nidra is what? There’s a claim that one hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 3 hours of sleep. Perfect for most of us who:
– do not get 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night;
– lead a very hectic, active life.
– to a point where concept of “rest” is vilified so much that you equate rest to “rust”.
– or the opposite. There’s an inertia and you are stuck, immobilized and unable to put things into “action”.
– have quite a bit of stress to cope with.
– coping with anxieties, anger, and depression.
– lead a exhausting life of either too much excitement and drama.
– longing for peace, harmony and wholeness.
– just looking to balance out the yin & yang elements in your life.
– wanting to know the meaning of the word – compassion.
I for one have benefited greatly. When my mind is clear; I can help brighten the dimming lights a little better serving as a … reflection. A mirror.
Now I can’t serve as a mirror if it’s all fogged up or cracked, can I?
With my Haahhhh breath I fog it up more and wipe off with a silken soft light to find the shine, the true reflection.
It’s a dreamy bliss – Sweet Dreams:) Tap into your very own Source …it’s golden.
