Non Sleep Deep Rest for Beginners (NSDR)

In this non sleep deep rest I will gently guide you through a body scan to help you relax, reduce stress and fall asleep more easily.

Non-sleep deep rest, or yoga nidra, is the kind of rest you get when your body is in a relaxed state, but your mind is still awake. NSDR involves slowing down your brain wave frequency, similar to what happens during sleep, only that in this case you're awake.

Non sleep deep rest is a very easy guided meditation that you do lying down. It will take you into deep non-REM delta wave sleep while you are completely awake and aware. It is deep awareness, stillness, rest and relaxation that you can do at any time of day or night. Think of it like a relaxing body scan.

Non sleep deep rest is recommended by Stanford neuroscientist and researcher Dr. Andrew Huberman. According to Dr. Huberman, non sleep deep rest can put the body in a restorative state, similar to sleep. I feel grateful to have been listening to Dr. Huberman’s podcast for several years and to have heard him lecture here at University of Victoria here in Victoria BC.

Thanks for this, Melissa! It’s always nice to be guided in these practices as a teacher myself. Your voice is very clear and calming. 😊

thank you. I like the term non sleep. I once mentioned I practiced yoga nidra, and got back, "sleep yoga". My reaction was "no". In many ways this practice is more restful than the 7 hours of lying in bed in different dream states or interrupted by bathroom breaks. As I become more active in the arrival of early summer I find it is a great balance and way to start the day.
