      YOGA NIDRA (Conscious Deep Sleep ) with more info + MP3 inside

      Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep. It is a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In Meditation, you remain in the Waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind, while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. However, in Yoga Nidra, you leave the Waking state, go past the Dreaming state, and go to Deep Sleep, yet remain awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is also used by Yogis to purify the Samskaras, the deep impressions that are the driving force behind Karma

      YOGA NIDRA (MP3)
      This is I think 46 minutes long...It's a Yoga Nidra MP3 made by a guy named Tim Rowe but I added some Japanese Shakuhachi Music that I just found out about yesterday which some Zen Buddhists use as an aid for meditation..extremely relaxing..Yoga Nidra takes you from the waking state to the dreaming state to the deep sleep state..This is a Lucid Dreaming website so you guys probably would like to stay at the dreaming state..when you use this the purpose is to be able to reach this state without the use of the MP3..this can also be used to program the subconscious too..it is relaxing so you can use this to WILD, Phase, reach the MA/BA State (even though it can go way deeper than that) and more..I'm about to make this my main practice

      remember, practice and you will succeed

      Thanks for the link,
      Yoga Nidra is a fascinating subject, it just goes to show whats possible when you practice hard enough. It would be awesome to experience going through an entire nights sleep conciously, to see the entire life of a dream from forming to end.. And concious deep sleep , Its above and beyond the lucid dreaming level.

      It would be pretty cool if you could keep us up to date on your progress if you decide to fully commit to this.

      Oh yeah..I definitely will..I tried it last night for the first time and started losing sense of my body halfway through..started getting some hypnagogic imagery and going deeper in my mind..I got startled that it was happening so quick and I opened my eyes..I just said to myself that I'll try this tomorrow so I just went to sleep..What did happen when I woke up was me getting and best sleep I ever had since the beginning 07 till now..I woke up so refreshed man..I am also instilling in my mind that I will go deeper every time I practice Yoga Nidra and that I will master Yoga Nidra..I'm loving it so far..Dream Yoga was going to be my main practice but I find this to be perfect for me..I'd rather practice this and go into the mind myself to change my beliefs..and have the ability to go to the dreaming state at will..Oh and this also leads to the state of samadhi if you keep practicing..Samadhi is a state of stillness..It's when people sort of have a sense of Nirvana..I would believe this could lead to enlightenment if thats your thing of course

      I will definitely read up on it for sure, thanks for the intro. I also was attempting dream yoga, still try to stay aware but it seems my mind wants to wander. -.- I will post progress too, if you guys want just say so. Also, are you saying if you want to stay at the lucid dream state, you must not use the MP3?

      Yea..post progress..you guys practicing helps me to stick with my practice more..and you could stay in the lucid dream state while using the MP3 too it doesn't really matter..once you get to whatever state that you want I think that you could just ignore the rest of the recording..

      Along with this, I have decided to stick with dream yoga too. Anyways I tried this last night. Listening to the mp3, following all of the instructions with an empty mind, brought me into a really relaxed state. I got to the point where my body was feeling tingly and weightless, but then my throat needed me to swallow because I had just gotten a drink before bed. So I went to bed normally after that, and had a lucid. <- I did an RC and it worked, but then I woke. D:

      Just to let you know that this contributor has edited the mp3 I created and distributed this mp3 without contacting me and asking permission.

      Yeah I did it and was all tingly after the first counting down from 27, never advanced any after that.
      Though I guess I really wasn't aware enough about Yoga Nidra to know what I was supposed to be doing and where I was going

      I found this very relaxing, and I too got the tingling that I'm learning to associate with sleep paralysis. One thing that I found frustrating was that I couldn't seem to find a comfortable palm-up position for my right arm. I seemed to have to constantly put my focus back to my right arm and consciously relax it, and as soon as my focus drifted it would start tensing again, as I would eventually notice when a tendon slid across my elbow. This was definitely a practice that I plan to continue, and thank you to both the OP and the original creator of the mp3 for this meditation. I feel much more solid now, and I'm excited to see if it will affect my lucid dreaming.

      I really liked the sound of the .mp3. Tried it the other night, but wasn't really focused enough to get the best out of it. I was really tired (I couldn't complete a single backward count from 27 ). The only thing I'm put off by is when he stays silent for the count, and then, like 2 minutes later, just starts talking. It always startles me a bit, and momentarily breaks my relaxation.

      I'll definitely give it another shot, though.

      Yeah it really scared me the first time, I was like maybe it stops, then a second later BAM! Then the next few times it didn't get me as bad but still a lil bit

      I use software like Creative Wave Studio, and can adjust sound levels at any spot and delete bits and so on.
      Maybe download something like that and adjust it.

      Hrm okay so this didn't work well for me. I lost concentration during the middle and ended up just shutting my iPod and going to sleep.
