Yoga Nidra Meditation on the Pulsation of Consciousness

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-53d9z-cb22e4

This Yoga Nidra Full Moon Meditation on the Pulsation of Consciousness Recorded Live at Steam House Hot Yoga & Pilates www.steamhousenh.com Epping NH on Dec 9, 2019 after a Hot Vinyasa Class led by Melissa Abbott. 

This 15 minute Yoga Nidra meditation is based on the Spanda Karikas verses 30-34 written in 800 CE by the sage Vasugupta. Spanda in Sanskrit means the Devine Creative Pulsation of Consciousness and Karikas means a collection of verses. This collection of verses from over 1000 years ago bring the wisdom of Shaiva Tantra Meditation to modern life. This Yoga Nidra takes us to the deep relaxation that we slip into when we connect with our own inner pulsating creative awareness. These Yoga Nidra Meditations happen weekly on Monday Nights, 75 Railroad Ave., Epping NH

Transforming the Energy of the Mind, Shakta Upaya Yoga Nidra I am a Loving and Beautiful Person

F134B898-C565-4BB1-8C3B-63351C8B2633Transforming the Energy of the Mind, Shakta Upaya Yoga Nidra

F134B898-C565-4BB1-8C3B-63351C8B2633.jpeg

In this Yoga Nidra Session we are practicing a technique called “Shakta Upaya”, using the power of the mind to transform the mind. This 1000 year old meditation technique comes from the Shaiva Tantra tradition of Kashmir. Shakta Upaya consisted of purifying the mind to replace misaligned stories, patterns, and triggers with aligned ones. Our emotional states are often linked to subconscious thought patterns. In Sanskrit, these thought patterns are called Vikalpas. Vikalpas are the stories, patterns, and triggers we look to overcome. In this Yoga Nidra Immersion session we are using the power of our own mind to overcome our patterns and stories. This turns the mind from outward turning limited filter for experience into an engine for experiencing our own innate energy of divinity. In a sense we use the mind to stop chasing the mind. Coaxing our mind to think pure thoughts that create clusters of neurons in our brains to reframe the mind. We introduce the pure thought “I am a Beautiful & Loving Person” in this Yoga Nidra. 

In the Yogic Tradition, Yoga Nidra is known to restore and cool down the body after a Hatha Yoga Session where it activates the nervous system to absorb the physical asanas. It is also known to improve sleep, good for chronic pain, grief, deep relaxation, PTSD, alleviates anxiety, improves depression, lowers cholesterol, blood pressure, heart rate, and developed mental willpower bringing joy and well being to practitioners.
