Yoga Nidra and Chakras & Tattwas

“Once you reach a certain stage in spiritual life, it becomes possible to change your dreams while they are taking place, and actually create your own dream. But to do this, you must be able to maintain the dual consciousness of the dreamer and the dream, so that while you are dreaming, you know that you are dreaming.”
― Satyananda Saraswati, Yoga Nidra

Once in the state of sense withdrawal attained when practising yoga nidra, this is an ideal time to visualise the symbols for chakras and tattwas, with the physical body totally relaxed and no distractions from the senses as it is then that the mind is relaxed, aware and focussed.
Chakras, the psychic energy vortexes relating to the nerve plexuses in the spinal column, are ever present and ever popular to explore. The Tattwas, or symbols for the elements that make up our existence, tie in perfectly with this exploration.
20 minutes of ths practice gives you equivalent rest to 1+ hour of sleep and 1 hour of yoga nidra equates to approximately 4 hours of restful sleep.
"How do we become more aware of the chakras?
Awareness of the chakras depends on one's spiritual evolution. When the consciousness has been purified by spiritual efforts, awareness of the chakras is greatly enhanced."
Swami Satyananda. http://www.yogamag.net/archives/1980/joct80/sat1080.shtml
"Tattwas
1. Akasha— ether; responsible for void and space.
2. Vayu— air; responsible for perpetual motion.
3. Agni— fire; responsible for heat.
4. Apas— water; responsible for fluidity.
5. Prithvi— earth; responsible for cohesion, weight. "

The instructor, Radhe, is a registered Level 4 teacher with Yoga NZ.
Here is her bio from there:
I teach regular weekly yoga classes in the Whangarei district, also running workshops and retreats. Each year, I also travel to Hokitika several times to offer yoga workshops there, based at Moonlight Healing. I expect to be broadening the number of regions of NZ that I offer teachings in over the next few years. A 200-hour teacher training course is now planned to be commenced in the near future. The scope of what I offer covers a range of yoga techniques, from cleansing practices through to the more esoteric, including asana, pranayama, yoga nidra and meditation practices largely based on the teachings of Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswati. I welcome enquiries and invitations to teach. As I made some free (homemade) videos on various practices for my students to use during lockdown, you are most welcome to access these on https://www.facebook.com/shraddhayogaandmeditation
