These Yoga Nidra deep relaxation meditation scripts are ideal if you'd like to read them to a family member who didn't sleep well and doesn't feel well-rested, if you want to treat a loved one to some deep relaxation after a stressful day at work, if you'd like to help a special someone manifest an intention/their longing or lessen their anxiety, or simply if you want to provide a boost of energy to someone who's about to tackle their day. Depending on how much time you have available, choose the 30 minute, 40 minute, 50 minute or 60 minute script.

The term yoga is most commonly used for physical disciplines, but it also includes mental disciplines. Yoga Nidra promotes a yogic sleep and effortless, deep rest and relaxation that isn't necessarily the focus in your standard meditation practice. Yoga Nidra allows you to experience a day-dream state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, by following the reader's voice and instructions in these guided meditations. Your entire body, mind and nervous system will gently get guided to a coherent state of deep relaxation, as your brain-wave activity will lower to alpha, delta and/or theta brain frequencies. Anyone treated to this Yoga Nidra deep relaxation session should come out of it feeling relaxed and well-rested, at peace and rejuvenated to master their day.
