Transforming the Energy of the Mind, Shakta Upaya Yoga Nidra
In this Yoga Nidra Session we are practicing a technique called "Shakta Upaya", using the power of the mind to transform the mind. This 1000 year old meditation technique comes from the Shaiva Tantra tradition of Kashmir. Shakta Upaya consisted of purifying the mind to replace misaligned stories, patterns, and triggers with aligned ones. Our emotional states are often linked to subconscious thought patterns. In Sanskrit, these thought patterns are called Vikalpas. Vikalpas are the stories, patterns, and triggers we look to overcome. In this Yoga Nidra Immersion session we are using the power of our own mind to overcome our patterns and stories. This turns the mind from outward turning limited filter for experience into an engine for experiencing our own innate energy of divinity. In a sense we use the mind to stop chasing the mind. Coaxing our mind to think pure thoughts that create clusters of neurons in our brains to reframe the mind. We introduce the pure thought "I am a Beautiful & Loving Person" in this Yoga Nidra.
In the Yogic Tradition, Yoga Nidra is known to restore and cool down the body after a Hatha Yoga Session where it activates the nervous system to absorb the physical asanas. It is also known to improve sleep, good for chronic pain, grief, deep relaxation, PTSD, alleviates anxiety, improves depression, lowers cholesterol, blood pressure, heart rate, and developed mental willpower bringing joy and well being to practitioners.

Three Bindu Yoga Nidra recorded Live at Steam House Hot Yoga www.steamhousenh.com Sept 23, 2019 with Melissa Abbott as your guide.
The Three Bindu Meditation is a Trika Tantric Yoga Visionary Meditation used to activate the embodiment, life force energy, and awareness centers within the meditator.
This session was made after a Hot Vinyasa class, where the Yoga Nidra Savasana Meditation is used to calm the body and brain after an intense physical workout. The Three Bindus Meditation is usually a longer more involved session given in a seated position. This practice was modified for a simple Yoga Nidra which will leave the student refreshed, enlivened, and relaxed.
Three Bindu Meditation is a powerful healing practice that can be used in timing to the moon. In standard Tantric practice this is used the day or evening before the full moon or can be used at anytime to awaken your primary energy centers Head, Heart and Gut. You can use this as an opportunity or doorway to deepen or intensify your own expanded awareness using the liminal or twilight state of Yoga Nidra Meditation helping you to repose in your true essence nature. Our essence nature is one Bindu, one Universal Consciousness but can refract through the prism of our bodily awareness to Three Bindus or primary points of awareness.
