Visualization - The Spiritual Mandala

Yoga Nidra

Guided imagery is an example of a yogic tool that has gained wide popularity in both alternative and conventional medical circles—so much so that few people seem to recognise its origins in yoga. But thousands of years ago, yogis were using a wide variety of visualizations in their practice.

To some skeptical physicians, it seems far-fetched that your body could actually be affected by something you imagine—like a white blood cell gobbling up a malignant cell (to use an example now common in cancer care). But it’s easy to demonstrate how visualization can change physiology. Just imagine biting into a lemon, and your lips pucker and salivary juices start flowing.

Medical science is also beginning to document this powerful mind-body connection. If something is practiced for more than 3 weeks, it starts taking shape, the same happens with neural circuits and also muscle memories, examples galore everywhere.

In this podcast, we explore some of the interesting examples of visualization and how it's connected with Yoga Nidra madly deeply spiritually. It's crucial and forms the core of every Yoga Nidra practice.
