@@izzynelken8125 My absolute pleasure, Izzy! 😄 Is there a theme or topic that you would like for me to cover in future videos?

@@Lilly-sr3db Hi Lilly! My absolute pleasure! Oh, yeah, this was one of the earlier sleep tracks. Since it's an Amrit-style one, I think I avoided playing music during the guidance, and since it was meant for sleep, I had the audio engineer add it again toward the end for those who wanted binaural beats. 😅 We've reworked some of the Himalayan-inspired nidras to have music throughout while others only have it during the beginning and end of the track. Seeing when to add music or not has been a bit of trial and error based on the comment feedback. 😬🤣

@restfulstillness2274 Thank you. Is there one that is around 3 hours or more that goes for the whole time? When I am really struggling with sleep it can take me ages to fall asleep so a really long one would be great. Otherwise, if the nidra goes right to the end I can put it on a playlist and just go from one to the other without the jolt of music instead of your voice.😀

@Lilly-sr3db Oh, I have Himalayan-inspired yoga nidras that will be over three hours long coming out soon enough, and they will have music the whole time, and I will be guiding for the duration of the track. Did you want ones that were voice only?

@@restfulstillness2274 Wonderful! I am happy with either but find the music enhances my relaxation. Thank you so much!

@@Lilly-sr3db My absolute pleasure! 😄 Those will be rolling out soon enough.

My absolute pleasure, Bérénice!!! 😄 Thank you so much for practicing with me. I am truly grateful for all of your kind words. 🤩 Yeah, my nidras in this series are a bit long. 😅 I am so glad that you were able to benefit from this nidra. Namaste! 🙏😁

My absolute pleasure, Lilly! 😄 Yeah, I will include music in original compositions after I finish some of this backlog of Himalayan nidras. 😅

@restfulstillness2274 Wonderful. Thank you.

@@izzynelken8125 My absolute pleasure, Izzy! 😄 The level for a meditation of a yoga nidra series on the channel means different things depending on the lineage. Here, we have an Integrative Amrit Method Yoga Nidra, and the series in that style typically just increases slightly in length as I replace one or two techniques with a longer one or a related practice for a deeper relaxation effect. It's meant to help viewers gradually get used to longer and longer practices. For Satyananda-style yoga nidras, it means some of the techniques are more advanced when it comes to the recreation of polar opposite sensations or the rapid image visualizations or the visual journeys. Those yoga nidras are not only pretty long from the very beginning, but they are not suitable for total beginners who have not developed some level of equanimity of at least an inner refuge of peace and safety. Those are meant to go deeper into the psyche and purge unhelpful impressions from the subconscious mind.

Congratulations, Barbara!!!! 🥳🎉 This is such wonderful news! Thank you so much for sharing and practicing with me today. It is indeed an achievement. Please know that you're in good company. My older sister (the one who got me to start practicing meditations daily after dad died and part of the whole reason this channel exists) and my younger brother both have ADHD. They both find yoga nidras fairly challenging, especially those where you need to be still for so long, but they have both been able to go much deeper into their relaxation with repeated practice. My brother practices every now and then, but when starts to burn out from work he comes back to it more regularly. It's an honor and a pleasure to have you here! 😄

My absolute pleasure, Lorin!!! 😄 Thank you so much for your kind words and for practicing with me. May you have a fantastic day ahead with many rich blessings! 😁🙏

My apologies, Lilly. I have been under the weather these past few weeks due to the temperature fluctuations from the Midwestern blizzards, so I am just catching up on comments, lol. Yes, the Amrit method of yoga nidra focuses on the energy body. This does correspond with the pranamayakosha from the panchamayakosha model that we normally see in the yoga nidra lineages that are most well-known in the West. So, as a point of comparison, iRest tends to focus more on the vijnanamayakosha, or the wisdom body, as it uses the inner resource (a form of the Asraya technique) and several references to abiding as awareness itself, especially as we go over the noticing of opposite physical sensations, emotions, thoughts and even beliefs already present within our being. We are training ourselves to hold both opposites in our awareness without merging the two to help us cultivate equanimity. The Integrative Amrit Method (I AM) of yoga nidra, however, focuses greater attention on noticing the subtle energetic dimension of prana throughout the practice. The physical preparatory techniques like deliberate tension and relaxation have us notice energetic pulsations and vibrations after we release clenched and tightened muscles. With bumblebee breath and sound as well as OM chanting, we notice the impact of sound and vibration in our whole being. With breath holding, we can start to release even more tension. And so on. With I AM yoga nidra, we also have instructions about noticing the impact of light pranayama on the whole body relaxing as we gently manipulate the breath. Even when we are using mantra breaths, we notice the energy of the word we are connecting to the breath and how it influences our whole being. Note, the rotation of consciousness is done after these in the I AM yoga nidras as we are now primed to rotate awareness and energy around the body, so by the time we get to practices of recreation of polar opposites or visualizations, if included, we are already in a deeply relaxed state. As such, it’s pretty effortless to go deep at the eyebrow center and rest here. Throughout, we are given instructions to observe the silent stillness extending everywhere, and we’re merging seamlessly with the experience of Oneness. The guidance is focusing throughout on the subtle energetic dimensions that power the breath, surface sensations, and deep interoception. Himalayan Nidras also seem to focus more on the breath and energy body, and Satyananda ones can heavily focus on the mental and wisdom body with elaborate visual journeys and more aggressive recreation of polar opposite sensations, lol. Again, it doesn’t inherently make one practice better than the other. They have different applications and are often most suitable for different audiences.

@restfulstillness2274 Wow, thank you very much for that comprehensive explanation! Those blizzards you mention sound awful. We are also having crazy weather here in Australia! Best wishes from down under

@@Lilly-sr3db My absolute pleasure, Lilly! Be safe! 😄

My absolute pleasure, Lilly! ❤ This was one of the guided through transmission practices that didn't too well with the algorithm, so I defaulted to uploading the batches from the standard scripts. Since you enjoyed it, perhaps others will enjoy other original nidras too as the channel has grown since I published this particular meditation.

Thank you so much, Izzy! ❤❤❤ It's my pleasure to share these with you.😄

This is wonderful to read, Nate! Thank you so much for practicing with me and for sharing your experience!😄

Thank you, Robert! ❤❤❤

Thank you, Robert! ❤❤❤

Thank you, Robert! ❤❤❤

oh now cue the MUSIC?! this is epic- perfect👏🏼✨

Hahaha, these typically have music at the beginning and the end. I am glad that you liked it. The Himalayan and Amrit nidras are not supposed to contain sounds outside of my voice so that awareness can be focused inward.

Thank you so much for sharing about your amazing experience, Suzanne!!! Wow, that's truly amazing to hear. Also, yes, follow the guidance of your own breath. It's tricky for me to keep a universally appropriate pacing as I am normally following my own breath when guiding polarity breaths, lol.

Thank you so much, Izzy!!! ❤

It's an honor and pleasure to guide you in this meditation, Rebecka! Thank you for being here, and I hope these practices continue to help you more and more each day. 😊
