This guided meditation will help you to acctivate a deep relaxation response in under 20 minutes. Begin by lying down in a comfortable yoga nidra nest, resting on your back with pillows or cushions behind your head and under your knees. Cover yourself with your favorite blanket and take a few deep breaths followed by complete sighs to settle in.

Yoga Nidra translates into English as “yogic sleep,” yet this does not tell us all that much. Yoga Nidra refers to both a state of consciousness - one that is different from the waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states - as well as different styles of guided meditations that allows us to begin to consciously gain access to this state.

These meditations themselves are a specific sequence of relaxation, meditation, and mindfulness techniques that help the body, mind, and emotions to slowly and gently become more still and silent. Participants then systematically induce profound levels of rest and relaxation within themselves that may have not even been accessible with natural physiological sleep, perhaps due to stress or chronic health conditions. As such, Yoga Nidra itself is considered a form of NSDR, non-sleep deep rest, a term coined by neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman.

Simply follow the guidance as best as you can, and your body and mind will do the rest. The actual yoga nidra itself is roughly 20 minutes in length. Preliminary instructions will be given at the start, and the meditation itself starts around 4:30.
