This talk introduces the practice of ‘complete Yoga Nidra; the spaciousness of your being' by exploring the symbolism of ‘Om' and how the waking, dream and deep sleep states all appear within something vast and unfathomable. Understand the science that underpins the philosophy and how our brain produces unique signatures or brain waves, in each state. James also explains how Yoga Nidra takes us into an effortless state of 'alpha' brain waves, giving us access to the Turya state, the very depths of the true self.

Hey listeners, I made a mistake! Just listening back to this, and I quote this teaching coming from the Taittiriya Upanishad, but actually the teaching comes from the Manduka Upanishad. Apologies, too much in my brain that day... (I hear yoga nidra is good for that)
Mandukya Upanishad. Thank you James. I really appreciate such a clear and mindful explanation. Wonderful.

Deep sleep is above and awaking state below in the ohm symbol
I just found this revising my yoga nidra learnings from you. Once again, I am seeing consistently an amazing quality in your work that sings to me. Inspirational
Thank you so much, I find yoga nidra so helpful but didn't know much about it.
Excellent and absolutely fascinating! Never heard a clearer explanation of OM and states of consciousness. Big thank you.
This is FABULOUS!!!! Thank you so much!
This brought tears to my eyes, I'd literally just finished post yoga relaxation, during which a realization of sorts occurred. For several days my meditation has been interrupted by small events that happened in the past, minor "traumas" that I've never really thought about, actions I'd completely forgotten. These memories disturbed me, bringing up feelings of regret or anxiety, it suddenly dawned on me that the same thing had happened when I was doing yoga many years ago. I concluded this must be a good thing, even if it was painful, and decided to acknowledge, accept, and let go (what else can you do with this crap?).
Anyway, ten minutes later I was watching this and it was like serendipity or confirmation or something. I come here for Esther's excellent asana tutorials and have never heard of Nidra, but shall investigate forthwith. Abundant thank you's x
Very clear and fascinating presentation. Thank you
Interesting stuff. Thanks for the diagramme based explanation.
Thank You sooo much dearest 💐
You’re such an inspiration 🥰
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏🏼😇
Thanks James. That was so interesting. Such a clear explanation of such a mysterious experience. My practice is going to be so much more effective for being informed. Will check out more of your work. Blessings to you.
good work, thanks for sharing this model of yoga nidra
Very clear and helpful explanation. Thank you!
very lucid explanation.thanks
Very helpful and easy to understand, thank you.
Wow what an excellent explanation and description!
Thank you for a wonderful explanation.
Thank you 🙏 very clear and interesting 😃
Great share! Thx AUM
Interesting to see this . It is a beautiful explanation of what Hypnosis is also.
Thank You! Could you please explain what is the brain waves frequency during Yoga Nidra, or at the hypnagogic state and at Turya?
Great!
Wow 😍✨🕉🌈
I feel called to lead Yoga Nidra experiences; I'm curious - can I create my own script, knowing that there needs to be an initial grounding of the body (ie. imagine roots from the body to the ground etc) so students feel safe and can return to their bodies easily. Any thoughts, tips, or other resources?
Thank you in advance!

Very very good clear presentation and brilliant use of OM symbol Namaste
What are your direct contact details?
james@restfulbeing.com - thanks!
My son is 5 he was having the jerks he only does it when he’s failing asleep last year he was doing them every once in awhile when he was doing something basically nothing something without having to think so they did a EEG on him at 4 yrs old An prescribed him all these crazy medications watch only made him have seizures An totally changed him into a different kid my intuition always told me not to give him medicine but I couldn’t convince his dad until he seen for him self the meds the Dr put him on was making him worse we decided to take him off the meds he’s back to his old self An only has the myoclonic jerks while he’s sleeping but sometimes he can have 5-10 of them in a night An they get pretty intense they are more intense than your average lil jerk at least from my experience but his dad does the same thing when he’s sleeping just not as often, any input?
James, you have presented a beautiful explanation of the different states of consciousness that pertain to Yoga Nidra. Thank you. I thought back to my hypnotherapy sessions from several years back and it occurred to me that your talk had relevance to that experience. Is the trance state the closest to Turya? I also know a feeling of "oceanic awareness " when I am deep in meditation and now I am trying to place these two states of mind within your diagram. Can you provide some clarity?
Noe, Turya is indeed the oceanic state. Trance state relates to both hypnogogic and subconscious, and raises the question - are you 'in' that state, or aware of it? If aware, it's Turya, if fused with the trance, you are experiencing theta consciousness. Hope that helps...
Noe Berengena thank you :) I had the same question.
Thank you for raising this. I too have used hypnotherapy in my coaching and now I teach yoga I have been exploring how the language can be incorporated into relaxations and yoga nidras. I love that phrase 'oceanic awareness'
@@jamesreeves3388 Thank you -- I consider you quite an authority. I am familiar with your work.
I often get into a state where I hear myself do a snore but am still conscious - my partner will say I was sleeping but I was awake. Is that hypnogogic state? This happens a lot when I do yoga nidra
Is there any science on yoga nidra? Any studies done yet?
Hello - yes, you can find links to some studies on the irest website - www.irest.org/irest-research
Hey! I’ve got a question… isn’t it so that the top left curve is the deep sleep state and the bottom left curve is the waking stage?
Yes, tiny visual mistake, human. (Meaning stays the same).
My question was not meant to be critical or mean. It was just a honest question to get the subject right in my mind.
