Have you tried Yoga Nidra? It’s a great yoga exercise if you have trouble getting to sleep, or are an insomniac.

In its simplest form, Yoga Nidra is a meditation and relaxation exercise, in which you focus on each area of the body in turn, over a period of ten to 15 minutes.

Once you’ve learned this “body scan meditation”, use it at bedtime. You’ll become so adept at it, that you’ll gain complete relaxation in just a few minutes, which transitions easily to sleep. It’s the best relaxation ever, and once you’ve learned it, the process is yours forever.

reports:

“After the group was set up in the supported reclining child’s pose, Ms. Buffington led a Yoga Nidra visualization. The soothing, rhythmic quality of her voice allowed consciousness to drift. In fact, one of two men attending the workshop fell sound asleep.”

If you haven’t tried Yoga Nidra, do try it. You’ll love it.
