298 - Yoga Nidra & NSDR: Unlock Deep Relaxation and Mental Clarity

The Truth About Mental Health by Paula Sweet at Absolute Mind

Welcome to today’s episode of Your Absolute Mind Podcast! I’m Paula, a clinical therapist and counsellor, and I’m so excited to introduce you to a practice that’s taking mental health by storm: Yoga Nidra and its modern cousin, Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR).

🧠 In this episode, we’ll explore:

• What Yoga Nidra is and how Dr. Andrew Huberman brought NSDR into the mainstream.

• The fascinating science behind deep relaxation and dopamine boosts.

• How NSDR helps you recharge in minutes—no intense focus required.

• Why this ancient practice is perfect for modern mental health challenges.

🚨 Don’t miss this: There’s a 9-minute NSDR meditation at the end of this episode! But before you skip ahead, stick around to learn how and why it works—it’ll make the experience even more powerful.

✨ Key takeaways:

• NSDR is simple yet profoundly effective for stress relief, focus, and energy.

• Learn why NSDR might be the perfect alternative if traditional meditation isn’t your thing.

• How I’ve incorporated NSDR into my own life and why I encourage my clients to do the same.

• Access free Yoga Nidra tracks on the Your Absolute Mind App (7-day trial, no strings attached!).
