Yoga Nidra is a therapy, which is very powerful healing tool and is
ubiquitous in yoga therapy.
This is because yoga nidra therapy is an ultimate method of
inducing profound relaxation and deep rest. Resting the body-mind is the
fundamental basis on which true and deep healing takes place.
Most
people find it extremely difficult to rest deeply, especially when they
are ill. Many people will not even take time off from work during an
illness because of commitments, or because they are so driven. This in
turn may lead to more complex and difficult to manage disease
situations.
In therapeutic situations the rest and relaxation inducing power of Yoga
Nidra is used as a basis to introduce other healing processes.
Yoga Nidra can be applied as both a primary therapeutic tool in certain situations, and as an adjunctive treatment for many acute and chronic physical and psychological disease conditions. These conditions include heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes, digestive problems of all kinds, arthritis, other chronic degenerative conditions, and some acute conditions, such as coughs and colds.
