Dr Swami Shankardev and Jayne Stevenson

Are you chronically stressed and fatigued?

Do you wish you were calmer and had more energy?

Learn these simple and powerful techniques for greater relaxation and rejuvenation.
 

I am privileged to have studied these techniques many years ago with a true yogic master and the originator of Yoga Nidra, Swami Satyananda Saraswati.

In 30 years of medical and yoga therapy practice I have used the Yoga Nidra and Meditation techniques on this CD to help my patients manage and overcome mild to severe stress disorders, debilitating chronic illness, anxiety, depression and other psychological conditions.

This CD combines powerful western psychological processes with classical yoga techniques to facilitate deep relaxation and healing.

Yoga Nidra - 30 minutes a day is equivalent to several hours of deep and restful sleep

Yoga Nidra literally means ‘conscious sleep’. In Yoga Nidra, the body sleeps, but the mind remains relaxed and awake.

For most of us, sleep is not restful, as we do not resolve our tensions effectively before we go to sleep. We take the tensions of the day into the unconscious state of sleep at night. These tensions disturb sleep and rob us of its power of rejuvenation. 

Yoga Nidra removes deep tensions and improves our capacity to rest.

The rest gained from half an hour of Yoga Nidra is deeper and more recuperative than several hours of normal sleep. 

Simple yet powerful techniques for relaxation and healing

• Restore energy and recuperate from a busy life and overactive mind.
• Remove long-term, built up tensions and stress.
• Improve the quality of sleep.
• Learn how to remain relaxed in stressful situations.
• Promote calm, grounded and positive feelings.

Guided meditation - techniques you can put into practice now.

The techniques on this CD have been professionally designed to have a potent relaxation and therapeutic effect. This CD provides over an hour of instruction including an introductory talk on Yoga Nidra. The 30 minute guided Yoga Nidra will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Introduction to Meditation teaches the important integral elements of meditation. Relaxation, body scanning, breath awareness and concentration are all combined into one powerful relaxation-meditation process.

It is with deep gratitude that I acknowledge my guru Swami Satyananda Saraswati for his training and ongoing inspiration. I know that using his powerful method of Yoga Nidra that you will find deep rest, rejuvenation, peace and healing.

Testimonials and Feedback

The Introduction to Meditation and Yoga Nidra CD provides useful methods for stress reduction and healing. I have gained noticeable results even after only a few weeks of regular practice. These include: improved sense of wellbeing, increased inner strength, calm and serenity, improved stamina and ability to deal with stress and life’s challenges. Although simple, the techniques presented are powerful, based in authentic tradition of tantric yoga, and thus different from many of the 'new age' meditation instructions which have a much more superficial effect on our mind-body system.

I have practiced Yoga Nidra almost daily for a year now, and it has brought me out of a severe exhaustion and depression. I more fully understand the depth of exhaustion in our culture, and the importance of true, deep relaxation. I have learned so much about myself, and the importance of relaxation from this wonderful, transformative practice. I am now freer of my own tensions and repressions. I also realize that we hold tensions on many levels, some very deep and subtle and not easily accessed by us.

This Yoga Nidra practice reaches those places and allows us to let go and release. I have done some psychotherapy work, and have found the Yoga Nidra practice to be a much easier and actually delightful way to let repressed ‘holdings’ just bubble to the surface and be released! It's so easy this way!

I have been using the Yoga Nidra CD in the evenings to unwind after work. My practice has given me a sense of deep relaxation and afterwards, I have felt rejuvenated and energized for the remainder of my evening.

It is quite evident from the start of using Swami Shankardev's guidance that these techniques are truly effective. The Yoga Nidra CD complements my own practice in this type of relaxation meditation. Having a "coach" of this calibre to lead me through the territory of the body is a blessing.
