Yoga Nidra is an Effective Relaxation Technique for Immediate Anxiety Relief. This is an evidence-based practice also known as "NSDR" or non-sleep deep rest. Yoga nidra is incredibly effective for promoting rest, relaxation, peace, and healing on both a psychological and physical level. Practice regularly (3-7 times per week) for long lasting, deep and profound effects.
 
You can think of yoga nidra as a way to reset your nervous system: shutting the whole thing down and rebooting. This meditation includes a dip into annamaya kosha (the physical body), monomaya kosha (the layer of self that perceives duality and emotion) and vijnanamaya kosha (the layer of self that imagines), which involves a visualization of floating on the ocean.
