Balancing Meditation - Yoga Nidra .. A Guided Relaxation Exercise

Balancing Meditation - Yoga Nidra .. A Guided Relaxation Exercise is a great audio book to relax and find your inner balance again:

The relaxation exercise Balancing Meditation - Yoga Nidra utilizes conscious breathing and body awareness methods to enable a relaxed and meditative state of mind.

This exercise is especially useful for people with heart issues, high blood pressure or limited ability to move the body.

This relaxation exercise has its origin in the centuries-old Yoga tradition. The exercise breaks down into the following 2 components:

Preparation and Instant Relaxation
We utilise a method of conscious tensioning in order to release the worst tensions in the body.

Breath and Yoga Nidra
We turn the attention towards the breath and use abdominal breathing to calm the breath down and to make it deeper and easier. The breath plays a central role with all relaxation techniques, since conscious respiration is a wonderful method to release tensions.

Deliberate relaxation of the whole body - learn to use the power of your mind to deliberately relax the whole body. You move with our attention through all parts of your body, check for tension and release it with the power of our mind.

It's close to impossible to give you a real flavour of the exercise since it's about experiencing it, about doing it. The sample may help you anyway to get an idea about my voice and the way I guide through the exercise:

Balancing Meditation .. A Guided Relaxation Exercise:

The relaxation exercise Balancing Meditation guides you through a sequence of minimal body movements. It utilizes conscious breathing and body awareness methods to enable a relaxed and meditative state of mind.
This relaxation exercise has its origin in the centuries-old Yoga tradition. The exercise breaks down into the following 3 components:

Preparation and Instant Relaxation
We utilise a method of conscious tensioning in order to release the worst tensions in the body.

Body in Motion
We continue with simple body exercises (Yoga Asanas) to awaken awareness and to prepare for the more quiet phases of the exercise. We use occasionally sounds to intensify the experience.

Breath and Yoga Nidra
We turn the attention towards the breath and use abdominal breathing to calm the breath down and to make it deeper and easier. The breath plays a central role with all relaxation techniques, since conscious respiration is a wonderful method to release tensions.

Deliberate relaxation of the whole body - learn to use the power of your mind to deliberately relax the whole body. You move with our attention through all parts of your body, check for tension and release it with the power of our mind.

You are guided by my instructions, previous experience is not necessary. Spend this time on yourself and enjoy to rest relaxed and calmly in yourself.

It's close to impossible to give you a real flavour of the exercise since it's about experiencing it, about doing it. The sample may help you anyway to get an idea about my voice and the way I guide through the exercise

Please note:
The exercise Balancing Meditation should not be used by people with heart issues or high blood pressure. Please use the version: Balancing Meditation - Yoga Nidra in this case. (Described further up on this page).

Meditation - What is Meditation? 

Category: File - :Endurodoug.jpg|thumb|Buddha meditating, Borim Temple, Korea

Meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. Meditation often involves turning attention to a single point of reference. It is a component of many religions, and has been practiced since antiquity. It is also practiced outside religious traditions. Different meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual or psychophysical practices that may emphasize different goals—from achievement of a higher state of consciousness, to greater focus, creativity or self-awareness, or simply a more relaxed and peaceful frame of mind.

The word meditation comes from the Indo-European root med-, meaning "to measure."Take Our Word For it Archive of Etymology Questions: MediationAmerican Heritage Dictionary: List of Indo European Roots From the root med- are also derived the English words mete, medicine, modest, and moderate. It entered English as meditation through the Latin meditatio, which originally indicated any type of physical or intellectual exercise, then later evolved into the more specific meaning "contemplation."

Eastern meditation techniques have been adapted and increasingly practiced in Western culture.
