How This Practice Works

During Yoga Nidra, the body rests while the mind remains gently aware. The brain may shift into slower brainwave states similar to early sleep stages. In this state, the nervous system can move out of stress response and into a restorative state.

This allows:

  • Muscles to release
  • Breathing to slow
  • Heart rate to settle
  • Energy to be conserved

This is why Yoga Nidra often feels deeply restorative.

Balinese singing bowls are used after the guided rest to support further relaxation through gentle sound vibration. Together, these practices help the body slow down and restore balance.

Brain Waves Information

During Yoga Nidra, the brain shifts from an active thinking state into slower brainwave patterns associated with deep relaxation and rest. This allows the body and nervous system to recharge, similar to sleep, while the mind remains gently aware.

  • Beta: Active thinking and problem-solving state.
  • Alpha: Relaxed and calm awareness.
  • Theta: Deep relaxation and early sleep state.
  • Delta Very deep rest (sometimes reached briefly). These states support rest and recovery.
What Is Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation practice done lying down. It is sometimes called “yogic sleep,” although participants remain aware during most of the session.

It is designed to support deep rest and nervous system regulation without physical effort.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient yogic practice of conscious rest. While modern methods use guided scripts, the roots of Yoga Nidra come from meditation traditions that are much older than hypnosis.

The modern structured Yoga Nidra method (with body rotation and scripts) was later organized and taught by Swami Satyananda Saraswati in the 20th century, but the roots of the Yoga Nidra comes from ancient yoga traditions that are thousands of years old, rooted in early meditation practices and yogic philosophy.

Modern hypnosis and self-hypnosis started developing around the 18th–19th century (about 200–300 years ago).

Both practice (yoga nidra and hipnosis are great depends on your needs) here is the different:

Yoga Nidra
  • Comes from traditional yoga and meditation practices
  • Focuses on awareness and deep rest
  • The goal is relaxation and conscious rest
  • Usually includes body rotation and breath awareness
  • No need to “change” the mind — just observe and rest
  • Often described as “sleep with awareness”

Yoga Nidra is more about:

Resting and allowing the nervous system to reset

Self-Hypnosis
  • Comes from psychology and hypnosis practices
  • Focuses on suggestion and mental change
  • Often includes affirmations or reprogrammin
  • Usually has a specific goal (confidence, habits, fear, etc.)
  • Works more directly with the subconscious mind

Self-hypnosis is more about:

Influencing the mind through suggestion

About Balinese Singing Bowl 

The Balinese singing bowls used in this session are traditionally handmade by Balinese metal artisans known as Pande Besi or Pande Gong, who come from generations of instrument makers specializing in gong and gamelan. Each bowl is hammer-forged individually, resulting in a unique shape and tone. Even bowls tuned to similar notes may differ in size and appearance. The surface of the bowls remains raw and unpolished, preserving the marks of the forging process and the original character of the metal. Most artisans tune the bowls by ear using traditional methods rather than electronic tools, continuing a long-standing approach used in Balinese gamelan making.

The sound of Balinese singing bowls is typically long, deep, and layered. In this session, the bowls are played on or around the body after Yoga Nidra, allowing the vibration and sound to continue supporting a relaxed state. The sustained resonance often encourages slower breathing, reduced physical tension, and a quieter mental state. The bowls used in Bali are commonly created through a process that includes selecting an auspicious day and making offerings before forging begins, reflecting the traditional approach of Balinese artisans toward instrument making.
