How to manage burnout with Yoga Nidra - Part 1

‘Work’ thoughts never stop… that’s thought at work

One of the first signs of burnout is this:

The body leaves work, but the mind does not.

Even during meals, family conversations, or before sleep, the nervous system remains “on” and nothing then we rarely maintain silence.

In Yogic language, this is an inability to withdraw from sensory and mental over-engagement.

——-

As a discipline, since inception in 2011, all the three meals, at Shrimath Yoga & wherever we conduct retreats / immersions, are eaten in silence.

——

Understanding Pratyāhāra (the fifth limb of Yoga) and picking up a practice from this limb becomes essential to handle burnout 🔥

Shrimath Yoga Nidra is one such practices.

It trains the practitioner to consciously disengage from mental turbulence.

Not through suppression, but through the discipline of staying in the present using sound, breath and instructions 🧘‍♂️

All these are validated by modern neuroscience, and researches are available in public domain.

Our life cannot change due to someone’s research but our regular practice alone 😎

The moment you can lovingly train your mind through Yoga Nidra, the ability to observe develops.

This ability helps to eventually observe your thoughts without becoming trapped in them… recovery begins.

Most people today are physically exhausted and mentally uninterrupted.

Yoga Nidra restores the forgotten art of inner disengagement.

And from that (inner) silence, clarity returns.
