    ❧ HOW TO USE THIS ALBUM

    This album has three tracks of varying lengths:
    Track 01: Gentle Relaxation (10:50)
    Track 02: Deep Relaxation (24:35) 

    Track 03: Deep Healing and Energising (31:28)

    Choose any track according to your level of comfort and available time (see below). All you have to do is lie down comfortably and listen to the simple instructions. You will be guided systematically into a state of deep physical, mental, and emotional relaxation with inner awareness.

    ❧ TRACKS
    * Track 01: Gentle Relaxation (10:50)
    This is a quick, safe, simple, effective practice for gentle relaxation and anytime reset. Preparation > Bodyscan > Externalisation. Safe for beginners, kids, and those with special needs. If you are a beginner; if you are experienced but short on time; if you are stressed; if you want to slip into relaxation effortlessly; if you want to get back into practice; if you want to build up to longer and deeper nidras, this is for you. You can even do this one sitting up!

    * Track 02: Deep Relaxation (24:35)
    This is a longer practice that takes you safely and systematically through eight stages to a state of deep relaxation. Friendly to beginners, kids, and those with special needs. If you want a thorough reset; if you want the full experience regularly; if you want to develop habitual relaxation; if you want to build up to longer and deeper nidras with full awareness, this is for you. If you want to build a practice, start with track 1 and then slowly add track 2, even at different times on the same day.

    * Track 03: Deep Healing and Energising (31:28)
    The longest practice, this takes you safely and systematically through eight traditional stages to a state of deep healing and energising. It visualises the seed syllables of the Sanskrit alphabet at the cakras, the psychic-energetic centres of the body — an authentic tantric practice called mātṛkā nyāsa, the original practice from which the rotation of consciousness in contemporary nidra is derived. You may use it regularly — after some practice with tracks 1 and 2 — to create deep healing and energising effects, to explore the layers of the mind, and for your own spiritual work.

    ❧ CONTRAINDICATIONS
    - Use at your discretion if you face severe clinical depression or other challenging mental health conditions. However, it may help relieve mild conditions.
    - Do not use while driving or operating machinery. You may fall asleep.
