Relaxation For Healing
The two half hour practices on this CD take you into deeply healing states of relaxation.
The first practice releases stress and revitalizes your whole body by guiding you through four different patterns of of yogic breathing.
In the second practice, known as yoga nidra or psychic sleep, you gently rotate your awareness through your body letting go of tension.
In both practices your self-healing and relaxation response is deepened with the use of sound vibration and light visualizations.
"Once the mind is quiet and focussed, it can be used to very gently nourish our bodies. Releasing tension in our mind automatically releases tension in our body. The highly acclaimed Western exponent of Buddhism Alan Watts once described the ego as nothing more than 'a bundle of muscular contractions'. Furthermore, a relaxed consciousness has remarkable powers of self-healing when directed in a focussed manner to a particular part of the body, especially when accompanied by conscious nourishment from the breath."
