iRest Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a form of guided mindfulness meditation. Practicing regularly can help you tap into the parts of your brain that allow for greater insight and quiet the parts of the brain that are responsible for negative thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Through this process people learn to welcome life as it is happening and to respond – not react – to challenging situations. The practice can help us alleviate stress, sleep better, and heal unresolved issues and traumas. It is a wonderful support to the psychotherapy process.
