What is yoga nidra?

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

Dharma wrote>Is this yoga nidra what sometimes

happens to new meditators when they

"get

lost" and don't know to come back down without help?

I've had this

happen

occasionally when I was teaching a class.<

 

Yoga Nidra is above the dream state, so there is no

consciousness at all. It is similar to deep

sleep/sushupti but it is constant for the duration. I

usually last less than 30 minutes but some can last

indefinately.

 

I don't want to be Rip Van Winkle and go in for 100

years or so, ha ha ha ah

 

The getting lost is the mind wandering around, there

is a black level as well, kind of a river styxx, but

again yoga nidra is not experiencing anything but the

one deep sleep thought wave or veil.

 

 

Om Namah Sivaya, Tony.
