Yoga Nidra is a special form of “conscious sleep” and has its origins in the tantric tradition. It is Described in the Tripura Rahasya (tantric text): “Therefore, realize with a still mind your own true nature, which is the one pure, undivided consciousness underlying the restless mind which is composed of the whole universe in all its diversity. Realize, with a still mind, the state between sleep and wakefulness… This is the real Self, inherent in which one is no longer deluded.” The 4 stages of consciousness from waking to the deepest sleep are:- Jagrut: State of wakefulness, use of logic, reasoning, decision, willpower, fully awake and conscious. Svapna:State of dreams. Higher consciousness. Usually we are not conscious during this state, we are unconscious and our subconscious enjoys this state. Shushupti: Deep sleep, almost coma-like, without dreams, total blacking out, deep highly regenerative sleep. Turiya: State of void. It is very rare to experience consciously. Everybody falls into turiya for at least a few seconds a night. This is the cataleptic state, which is ‘deeper’ than the deepest sleep, where the body becomes rigid. In this state the chakras are simultaneously aroused and consciousness is elevated. Turiya is the Samadhi state.
