This visualisation technique will be useful to prepare your mind for rest and sleep. It helps remove such obstacles as upset and anxiety, creating a sense of clarity and safety in the mind. Shifting from worry to calm will improve sleep.

This progressive tension-reduction technique teaches you how to train your body for relaxation. It can be practised before bedtime, after waking and during the day to reduce stress levels and buildup of tension and to improve quality of sleep. This technique is based on cognitive behavioural therapy, with focus on releasing tension in each muscle group and the whole body. Creating physical relaxation in the body is important for sleep and can reduce anxiety.

Yoga nidra is a form of relaxation technique which helps to restore peace and clarity in those who practice this form of meditation. The meaning of yoga nidra is 'deep sleep'. Those practicing yoga nidra will be able to completely let go of all worry, thoughts, impressions and disturbances, arriving at a state of total relaxation.

Yoga nidra offers a holistic approach to relaxation. Sleep alone doesn't always provide a complete state of relaxation. Techniques used during yoga nidra meditation remove muscular, mental and emotional tensions to enable a more complete relaxation experience. This session will use a combination of breathing and sensation awareness techniques to rebalance the basic elements of the body and mind.

The real self is not the body or even the mind of man. These things are but parts of his personality, the lesser self. The real self is independent of the body which it inhabits and is even independent of the mechanism of the mind, which it uses as an instrument. The real self is a drop from the divine ocean and is eternal and indestructible. It cannot die or be annihilated, and no matter what becomes of the body, the real self still exists. It is the soul.

This meditation gives those who practice it newfound senses of strength, power and wisdom and a feeling of spiritual exaltation and bliss. The spirit in man, which is the highest manifestation of his soul, is a drop in the ocean of spirit, apparently separate and distinct yet really in touch with the ocean itself and with every other drop in it. As man unfolds in spiritual consciousness, he becomes more and more aware of his relation to the universal spirit, or universal mind, as some term it.

It is the depth and relaxation in sleep that counts. This audio track will help you engage in meditation before falling to sleep, as during sleep the man leaves the physical form and goes to superphysical planes, and it is the last train of thought in your mind that determines and conforms you to the special superphysical influence you are to obtain. The physical benefits too shall be great. You will feel more rested in this way, and your sleep will be sounder and more refreshing than otherwise.

With this recording the benefits of crackling campfire are added to the gentle ocean waves and coastal birdsong, another holistic sound so familiar to life on our planet. This audio recording offers continuous campfire crackling against a natural background of ocean waves and coastal birds.

There’s nothing quite like sitting by a cosy fire, gazing into the vast expanse of night sky. This recording will transport you to that magical place by the campfire, with open skies right above you. Hearing that distinctive crackling sound of campfire really can help you relax. Campfire played a crucial role in human evolution, providing both comfort and shelter from wild animals. Recent research further showed the calming effects of campfire sounds through reduction of blood pressure when hearing the crackling sounds of campfire alone.

Yoga nidra has a number of health benefits, including improved sleep, balance, stress relief, psychological health and a feeling of harmony. One of the most important factors in achieving this is deep breathing techniques used during nidra practice. This session will focus on these breathing techniques.
