Nidra Yoga: relaxing the process of seeing
Thursday 22 january 17:00 - 19:00
In this Nidrā Yoga session, we will pay specific attention to relaxing the eyes and the process of seeing. Normally, what we perceive triggers reactions evoked from our memory. By relaxing our sight, our perception becomes fuller and richer without prompting knee-jerk reactions. In Nidra, the normal ups and downs of life begin to affect us less and less as we attain a joyful equanimity.

Style: Nidrā Yoga
In Nidrā Yoga, we consciously relax the muscles, organs, bones, sense organs (eyes, ears...), the process of sensing (vision, hearing...), and the various functions of the mind to to come into a field of consciousness where the sense of time, space and Ego all dissolve, and there is nothing left but the experience of oneness. It is very psychologically purifying. The normal ups and downs of life begin to affect us less and less as we attain a joyful equanimity. Aside from relaxation, Nidrā yoga also involves concentration practices to find the balance between relaxation and concentration to trigger this super-conscious state. Go to the Nidrā yoga page.
