Nidra Yoga, Brain & Consciousness

Nidra Yoga, an almost forgotten knowledge dating back to several centuries is a study of the human mind using 4 main types of exercise: Sithilikarana (3 levels of deep relaxation), Dharana (12 degrees of tension free concentration), Prana Kriya Sadhana (8 types of breathing) and Svadhyaya (using the rational thinking for exploration of the content of consciousness)When all these 4 practices are working together, the mind reaches a state of deep silence bringing a kind of resetting within the mind and the brain, re balancing the whole psycho physiological processes. Ultimately might appear a state of perception where there is more conflicts and division.The study “NIDRA & BRAIN” done through the University of Pisa/Italy will show practical examples of what can be realized by this century’s old practice.
