Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep or lucid sleep, is an ancient practice that is the perfect antidote for today's stressed and fast paced life. It can induce full-body relaxation and a deep conscious meditative state. Yoga Nidra uses guided imagery and body scans and is a systematic method of complete relaxation, holistically addressing your physiological, neurological, and subconscious needs. Yoga Nidra quiets the overactive conscious mind, inviting you into meditative states of deep contentment and equanimity. When brain waves slow down to a delta state, a subtle euphoria can occur.

Insight Meditation helps the mind attain deeper levels of calm concentration through sustained attention on the breath, then combines this with the crucial aspect of insight through contemplation of the mind and body and all of their changing and impermanent senses, emotions and thoughts. Insight Meditation trains you to live more fully in the present moment, enables you to experience life from a greater stillness, and aids in relating to both yourself and others with increased clarity, compassion, calmness and creativity, less fear, anxiety and stress. Benefits include reduced stress, anxiety, & increased focus. https://imcw.org/Calendar/Event-Calendar
