Yoga Nidra, or Yogic Sleep, helps to transform deep seeded blockages and guide you to the rejuvenating bliss state.
What is Yoga Nidra?
The state of bliss.
The Delta brainwave state of deep dreamless sleep.
Arrival to a state of rejuvenation, relaxation, and oneness.
The state of consciousness where deep insights of yourself arise and the opportunity to burn away samskaras and become aware of union.
In the journey we relax and deepen into the physical, subtle, and casual body. In this deep sleep state, you can explore your deep impressions (samskaras), releasing trapped energy back to the source. In this energetic play, you have the ability to meet these roots of suffering head on. In true transformation, your consciousness is propelled into the non-dual Yoga Nidra state.

The Journey of the Practice
You will begin by relaxing and softening the physical body. This includes light movement to open joints and pathways of the body to prepare to be still. Laying down, a body scan leads you into stillness where your consciousness can begin it’s journey. An intention is made called a Sankalpa. This prayer guides the direction of the journey. Transitioning with light breathwork, you are lead through sound into a journey of the mind. Entering into the subconscious you can work on lucid awareness of blockages in our mind. This is a purification process of transforming that which no longer serves you. The journey will continue into the state of loving awareness and ultimately the state of bliss, union, love, and deep relaxation.
Yoga Nidra is a practice of surrender, allowing us to connect with infinite bliss.
FAQs
How do you get the most benefit?
The most benefit will be from multiple 1:1 sessions typically. After a discussion, the practices can be tailored to opening certain blockages with relevant imagery. Committing to multiple sessions will allow time to slowly work with your subconscious. The more consistent sessions allows for your subconscious to become more trusting of the process and relax for the release of blockages. However, one session alone or group practices have many great benefits for immediate relaxation.
Can Yoga Nidra be incorporated in 1:1 mentorship?

As long as you have good internet connection, you should be able to experience the same as someone in person. In person may require more investment if travel is involved.
What is happening to my brain waves?
You have the opportunity to still the mind and journey through all major brainwaves of Beta, Alpha, and arrive at the Delta state. You will typically enter at Beta brainwaves, the state of awake or, less likely, Gamma the state of peak performance of action. Moving into Alpha, you move into relaxation and non-thinking. In Theta, you have deep relation and potential of mental images. Finally, you enter into the state of Delta, the bliss state of deep dreamless sleep. The ultimate space for rejuvenation and healing.
Why does Yoga Nidra use sound and not other senses?
Celeste's Yoga Nidra teacher, Chitra Sukhu, expressed about Yoga Nidra and sound, "We use the sense of sound to help guide us into the deeper layers of our being, into the causal body where sound still operates, then we let go of even that when we enter the state of Turiya [Pure Consciousness]. Sound can go with us further than any of the other senses...it is the subtlest sense..."
