Clear Sensory Overload & Keep your Mind Clean
Today we live in a world where our senses are over-stimulated. Our eyes and ears are constantly taking in information day and night. Impressions, images, sounds, tastes and smells must all be processed within the brain. Though we may not recognize it, this constant barrage of input acts as a stressor on the nervous system. Yoga Nidra is the perfect tool to decongest our overburdened senses.
