Yoga Nidra and The Ancient Secret of Life - E-book - ePub

The subconscious mind is the storehouse of every memory and moment from our life, positive or negative, and holds every scar of the traumatic events we have endured. This creates our persona: how we see and relate to life, react to it and experience life. The subconscious does not differentiate between fact and fiction, taking everything as fact. It can be healed from traumatic scars, thus healing our outlook, if we imprint suggestions directly to it without going through the conscious mind.
The subconscious does not understand spoken language; its language is pictures, symbols, feelings, words and repetition. The conscious mind is the one through which we work in our daily lives. It is analytical and rational and can choose to accept or reject information. We need it to function, but when it is present, we cannot feed information to our subconscious without interference. In this book, Jennifer Fitzsimmons introduces the ancient yoga techniques of Yoga Nidra to withdraw the conscious mind and imprint healing suggestions directly into the subconscious.
Messages are suggested as positive as though they have already occurred and, with frequent repetition, they become powerful. They remain in the subconscious to instil transformation in how we see, react and experience life. Fitzsimmons has been practising and teaching Yoga Nidra for over two decades and successfully used the material in her workshops, retreats and teachers' training sessions globally.
She believes it is time to go beyond Asana (posture exercise) into the full eight limbs of yoga.
