Yoga Nidra: A Powerful Way to Calm the Nervous System | Vagus Nerve | 35 minutes

Change your thoughts, change your world but first, take a deep breath.
In this yoga nidra, you will be guided to take deep belly breaths, aiding the diaphragm to massage your internal organs. This will be followed by a short eye-gazing exercise. These gentle exercises help with the activation of the vagus nerve, known as the "wandering" nerve. It is one of the predominant nerves in regulating our autonomic nervous system. If you would prefer to only experience the yoga nidra practice, feel free to skip ahead for a 25-minute yoga nidra body scan and calm the overactive mind.

I love the diversity of yoga Nidra. The different nuances one can perceive and choose to pay attention to - I didn't need calm and peace today, I needed energy and that's what I got, I'm feeling recharged and positive. Thank you 😊🌞🌞🌞

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you for your consistency Eva. 🖤✨ so lovely hearing from you. i hope you had a wonderful day.

[@dianeadamick1405]

This is by far my FAVORITE yoga nidra meditation! You are AMAZING in all you do and give to us! You ARE changing the world, my friend! Your voice, your words....just YOU....are absolutely wonderful and I super appreciate you and your dedication. Love and hugs to you! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@AylaNovaNidra]

thank you so much for practising with me… Every week for the last two years… I am dedicated to sharing this practice with all of you

[@fernandolspptagr7463]

Synchronicities exist. Today, before this practice, I read about the vagus nerve (the book, that I was reading is Find Your Vitamin Person by Marián Rojas Estapé) its connection with brain and gut, oxytocin (known also as the compassion hormone), the parasympathetic nervous system (part of the autonomic nervous system and responsible of make us feel good, relaxed), and how important it is to help us feel good. So this practice is really effective because it unifies breathing, awareness, vagus nerve, concentration, beautiful brain waves, affirmation and meditation. Many thanks to all of you to be here and to Ayla.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you for confirming these beautiful points. I am so grateful you are here! 🖤✨

[@DanaGerhardt]

You're the best! I'm a long time practitioner of yoga nidra and love to hear new voices. Yours is fabulous. Your sequences are smart and magical. Thank you.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Dana, you are so kind to say all of that. This brought a smile to my heart. 🥹💕

[@sapphiclibra]

You are a life changing and deeply gifted healer. Thank you for all you do. So much gratitude to you for what you bring into my life & the collective.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Your gratitude fills my heart with joy. I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact. Thank you for being here @sapphiclibra

[@Jordan-op9bk]

This was amazing!! it brought up a lot of emotions. Your whole scope of practices are a revelation. I've been numbed out emotionally and physically since childhood, it was protective at the time but is not serving me now. Listening to your sessions has awakened sensations physically and now seems to be doing the same emotionally. I was pleased to hear a vagus nerve informed session included in your offerings :)

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you for your support Jordan 🖤✨ many will never attune to their emotions. i am proud of you. it takes courage to witness and appreciate these parts of ourselves.

[@terefefeyssa877]

Ayla: I have no words to thank you 🙏 I will do this a couple of times with intervals today and tonight. I don't expect any thing of preconceived experience.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

thank you for practicing terefe. i am so happy to know it landed. 🖤✨

Lovely to see you returning to these practices. Thank you for your support and for sharing this journey with me. 🖤✨

[@paulaamero]

That was an amazing journey.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

thank you for being on this journey with me!🖤✨

[@cassondralynch6342]

I have to say it drives me a little nuts personally how guided meditations (especially yoga nidra!) take so long to get started! I'm doing these because I'm anxious. I don't have the patience to smell everything in the room and breathe with compassion for an hour before the healing actually begins. If you're already a calm person it makes sense, otherwise I can't do it.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

I am sorry you are feeling anxious. I hear you, it's difficult to have patience when feeling activated. This particular recording has a vagal nerve practice and introduction involved which is one of my longer intros. In my other videos, if you click on the Chapter that says *The Practice of Yoga Nidra* you can skip all the prep work and dive right into the practice. I hope this helps... here is one I like to use for anxiety: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZWWm3Sta8mLsJYsi=pxxTbfjMJ3MKmrjj&t=164

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy these gentle, subtle vagus stimulation exercises and discover inner peace with this spacious practice.

I loved the vagus exercise ❤️❤️

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Beautiful! It brings me joy to hear this 🖤✨

[@mulanwoman]

Thank you. I wanna express that today practice was difficult. I remained still the whole practice but I got a squeezing sensation in my right leg, most of it in the calf. I couldn't release tension of my body and my mind was wandering to much.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

thank you for for being here, marlin 🖤✨ sending love your way

[@brendanfranz6644]

I AM nothing and everything at the same time. Mind officially blown.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you for sharing Brendan. I love hearing about your experience! 🖤✨

[@patriciavonorelli2414]

English is not my language… don‘t understand the Word „gaise“ or however you write this. Same thing with the word „botok“ which is used in other videos. Can anybody help?

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Botok, my dear, is “buttock”. There are many words in english for this area. I know it can be confusing. And I believe you mean “gaze” when you say, gaise. Gaze is the action of looking at something with intention or admiration.

[@patriciavonorelli2414]

🙏 Thank you so much, now I got it 🙌🏼 absolutely love your Yoga Nidra😍
