Providing permission to find and explore your sensations, feelings, emotions, thoughts and visualisations, all the while remaining in relaxed awareness, Yoga Nidra provides a space for your emotions to arise freely, without expressing or repressing them and in doing so it becomes possible for them to fade or become neutral in our mind's eye. 

By transforming the way our body-brain connection perceives past reactive behaviours, they become far less dramatic and much easier to deal with in an aligned and authentic way. 

Although this is a deeply restful and restorative practice of brain-body relaxation, what goes on within you is dynamically active. When we are present with different emotions and experiences, we access a neutral space for observation and radical compassion, meaning what once may have sent you into a spiral of reaction, is now met with calm confidence and understanding, allowing your authentic self to lead from a place of self-love, compassion and present moment living. 

What happened in the past isn’t what’s happening now. This is a highly effective process of letting go and actively choosing what you want more of. 

The key to this practice and why it works is the fact that when our brain-body connection is in a deeply rested state, access to the “subconscious” areas of the brain and body where beliefs, memories, thoughts and emotions are stored, is much easier. This allows us to connect the dots without the alarm bells of the past.
