Welcome to Spiritually Fit Yoga with Amelia Andaleon! Lay down, make yourself comfortable, and let me guide you into a relaxing state of yoga nidra. This meditation can give you 30 minutes of deep rest or listen to it as you get into bed and invite a deep sleep.

Yoga Nidra can lead you into a profound state of relaxation or sleep. 30 minutes of yoga nidra can be the equivalent of 2-4 hours of sleep. While it can mimic the effects of deep sleep, it is not a replacement for nightly sleep. Yoga Nidra is best used to supplement and improve the quality of your regular sleep.

About Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a practice that induces deep relaxation and altered states of consciousness, characterized by shifts in brain wave activity. 

Brain Wave States: 

• Beta (13-30 Hz): Active, alert, and focused.
• Alpha (8-13 Hz): Relaxed, meditative, and drowsy.
• Theta (4-8 Hz): Deep relaxation, creativity, and subconscious access.
• Delta (0.5-4 Hz): Deep sleep and restorative processes.

Effects of Yoga Nidra on Brain Waves: 

• Yoga Nidra promotes a gradual transition from beta to alpha, then theta, and potentially even delta brain waves. 
• This shift allows for a deep sense of relaxation, reduced stress, and increased access to the subconscious mind. 
• The theta and delta states are associated with enhanced memory, creativity, intuition, and emotional healing. 

Benefits: 

• Improved sleep quality
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Increased relaxation and well-being
• Enhanced creativity and intuition
• Access to subconscious memories and insights
• Improved emotional regulation
• 
  

Note: It's important to note that the exact brain wave patterns experienced during Yoga Nidra may vary depending on individual factors such as experience, practice style, and mental state.
