A comprehensive, illustrated reference to the theory and practice of yoga nidrā, this multi-vocal decolonial encyclopaedia includes:
• full colour illustrations and specially commissioned diagrams and figures
• untold histories of the development of yoga nidrā worldwide
• a unique illustrated a-z guide to aspects of the practice
• references to sacred and ancient texts from the South Asian yogic tradition
• review of scientific research into the medicine of yoga nidrā
• personal testimonies and contributions from over fifty contemporary practitioners
• exploration of related threshold states from Indigenous wisdom traditions
• practical guidance for facilitators, and comparative studies of methods of practice
• a treasury of 108 specially transcribed yoga nidra practices from over thirty facilitators
Author and compiler Umā Dinsmore-Tuli honours the South Asian yogic heritage of yoga nidrā, restitutes Yoganidrā Shakti Devī as the presiding deity of this liminal state, and reveals Indigenous roots of a global network of sleep and dream-threshold practices. Umā identifies experiences of yoganidrā and methods of contemporary yoga nidrā practice, as aspects of a naturally-arising, restful and intuitive meditative state of insight, integration and re-matriation.
