Yoga nidra or Yogic sleep is a deeply relaxing practice performed lying down, often referred to as “conscious relaxation.”

• Benefits: Reduces stress, improves sleep, and enhances self-awareness.
• How to practice: Lie down, close your eyes, and follow a guided relaxation that systematically relaxes your body and mind.

Focused attention meditation concentrates on a single object, such as your breath, a candle flame, or a mantra.

• Benefits: Improves concentration, discipline, and clarity.
• How to practice: Sit quietly and keep your attention on your chosen focus. Bring your mind back gently when it wanders.
