Tired body, racing mind?

If you lie awake replaying the day and rehearsing tomorrow, this book offers a gentle, proven way back to rest: Yoga Nidra, the ancient Indian practice of "yogic sleep."

Yoga Nidra is done lying down. It needs no flexibility, no experience and no special belief. You simply follow a sequence of calm instructions, and your nervous system is guided, step by step, from tension to deep rest.

Inside you will find:

- A clear explanation of why modern life keeps the mind switched on
- The eight stages of Yoga Nidra and how to set your sankalpa (intention)
- A complete 21-night programme with short scripts to read, record in your own voice and play in bed
- Week 1: settling the body. Week 2: softening the mind. Week 3: resting in awareness
- What to do on nights when sleep still will not come

This is a relaxation practice, not medical treatment; persistent sleep problems should be checked by a doctor. Read one script tonight and notice the difference.
