Hi All

I've just gotten back from a Yoga Nidra class and I think it might be a great treatment for IBS and insomnia.

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation which helps the practitioner fall into what's called psychic sleep. It's said through this you can use to harness the power of your mind to achieve certain goals. Apparently the Canadian government used the technique to help a group of employees to learn French. Not only did the pick up French far quicker than the control group but those people with digestive problems found some relief.

The process works through being guided into a state of relaxation and then when you each this place setting a positive intention. For example you say to yourself thank you for a happy and healthy belly or thanks for a good nights sleep.

I only took the class yesterday so obviously I can't rate the effect on my IBS just yet. However one women did talk about how she'd been practicing for several months and she'd seen a dramatic improvement in her insomnia.

I'd recommend taking a class first if you can but there are CDs out there as well.
