Was ist Yoga Nidra?

Was ist Yoga Nidra?

In dieser Podcast-Episode erklärt Wanda kurz und präzise, was Yoga Nidra ist. Yoga Nidra bedeutet übersetzt "yogischer Schlaf" oder "erleuchteter Schlaf". Obwohl das Wort "Schlaf" enthalten ist, ist es keine Einladung zum Einschlafen. Yoga Nidra ist eine yogische Entspannungspraxis, bei der man in einen tiefen Zustand der Entspannung und bewussten Ruhe versetzt wird. Es ist eine Technik, bei der man in einen Zustand zwischen Schlaf und Wachsein kommt. Währenddessen ist man vollkommen entspannt und bewusst präsent. Wanda betont, dass Yoga Nidra eine sehr effektive Methode ist, um Stress abzubauen und das Nervensystem zu regenerieren. Es hilft auch dabei, die Konzentration zu verbessern und die Kreativität zu fördern. Am Ende der Episode ermutigt Wanda die Hörer dazu, das Gehörte zu teilen, Ihr Feedback zu geben und positive Bewertungen bei Apple Podcasts zu hinterlassen.

Dich selbst kennenlernen - Das 4. Niyama Svadhyaya

Dich selbst kennenlernen - Das 4. Niyama Svadhyaya

In this podcast episode, the focus is on the fourth Niyama of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras called "Svadhyaya," which means "self-study," "self-reflection," or "meditating on oneself." Traditional ways to practice Svadhyaya include reading and studying spiritual texts, which serve as a mirror to our way of life, being, and soul, allowing us to better understand and know ourselves. Modern methods of self-reflection, such as journaling, coaching, therapy, and healing work, are also considered forms of Svadhyaya. The goal of this inner work is self-awareness and self-reflection, which are fundamental in yoga. Svadhyaya can take place on different levels. On the level of the mind, it involves examining the content and quality of one's thoughts and gaining distance from the mind to objectify it. Reflection on actions involves understanding why we do things the way we do, whether they stem from our own desires or from belief patterns and familial influences. Reflecting on strengths and shadow aspects helps identify our areas of skill and weakness. However, addressing these questions and being honest with ourselves requires courage and openness of the mind. The episode also provides reflection questions for inspiration and journaling, such as considering current motivations, identifying helpful and unhelpful habits, and making a list of strengths. Lastly, the host encourages feedback, positive ratings, and recommendations for the podcast, and provides links to her website, Instagram, newsletter, and the "BEYOND THE ASANA" podcast.
