TRACKS
* Track 01: Gentle Relaxation (10:50) FREE!
This is a quick, safe, simple, effective practice for gentle relaxation and anytime reset. Preparation > Bodyscan > Externalisation. Safe for beginners, kids, and those with special needs. If you are a beginner; if you are experienced but short on time; if you are stressed; if you want to slip into relaxation effortlessly; if you want to get back into practice; if you want to build up to longer and deeper nidras, this is for you. You can even do this one sitting up!

* Track 02: Deep Relaxation (24:35) (In-app purchase)
This is a longer practice that takes you safely and systematically through eight stages to a state of deep relaxation. Friendly to beginners, kids, and those with special needs. If you want a thorough reset; if you want the full experience regularly; if you want to develop habitual relaxation; if you want to build up to longer and deeper nidras with full awareness, this is for you. If you want to build a practice, start with track 1 and then slowly add track 2, even at different times on the same day.

* Track 03: Deep Healing and Energising (31:28) (In-app purchase)
The longest practice, this takes you safely and systematically through eight traditional stages to a state of deep healing and energising. It visualises the seed syllables of the Sanskrit alphabet at the cakras, the psychic-energetic centres of the body — an authentic tantric practice called mātṛkā nyāsa, the original practice from which the rotation of consciousness in contemporary nidra is derived. You may use it regularly — after some practice with tracks 1 and 2 — to create deep healing and energising effects, to explore the layers of the mind, and for your own spiritual work.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Use at your discretion if you face severe clinical depression or other challenging mental health conditions. However, it may help relieve mild conditions.
- Do not use while driving or operating machinery. You may fall asleep.

Rejuvenating

A wonderful tool for a deep practice. The gentle sounds in the background enhances the experience and space to practice yoga Nidra. It would be nice if there was just a bit more time to repeat your san culpa.

Deep practice

I do this practice daily and this is one of the best versions I have founds. Takes the practice deeper than most but still simple to engage.
