Deep Rest Without Sleep

Yoga nidra for the modern afternoon

Yoga nidra tradition, now studied as NSDR

Lie down, follow a voice through the body, and rest more deeply in fifteen minutes than most naps manage in an hour. You stay awake, technically. The afternoon after feels borrowed from a better day.

1. 1Lie down somewhere you won't be disturbed
2. 2Follow the guided body journey
3. 3Don't try to stay awake or asleep, just listen
4. 4Return slowly when it ends
