About Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is perfect for the release of physical stress, anxiety and mental tension. It takes you into a profound state of relaxation where the deeper mind can be accessed to release tension and achieve rejuvenation on a subtle level.

An important aspect of Yoga Nidra is Sankalpa or Resolve where we make a positive affirmation of personal choice to plant in the mind when it is open and receptive.
Choose your Sankalpa wisely & use it daily to bring love, strength and joy to your heart and mind. This practice of Yoga Nidra was created by the master Swami Satyananda Saraswati and is now used throughout the world as an important meditation and relaxation practice.

During Yoga Nidra deep states of relaxation and meditation maybe experienced so it is important that you are not disturbed during the practice.

This CD has been designed to fit into any schedule, therefore there are 3 Yoga Nidra practices of different lengths; 11, 20 and 30 minutes. The two shorter Yoga Nidras are most suitable for beginners. The 30 minute practice on this CD has been designed to help those with spinal misalignment, osteoporosis, back pain and insomnia. You can listen to the long practice as you fall asleep at night. This will assist in attaining a deep restful sleep.

About Terry Oldfield

I was born to an Irish mother and an English Father in a Northern suburb of London called Palmers Green.

To break free from the conventions that society had placed upon me has been my aim ever since I was about 18 years old. Religion for me as a child was just another tedious subject at school, one that had a rather boring practical side, keeping me away from the important things like football and fishing. It was only when I came up against some of the unanswerable questions in life that my “Spiritual” quest began.

Traveling has led me to experience the great diversity of life on this planet. It was during a stay on the island of Hydra in Greece that I discovered the flute for the first time. I also travelled to Australia when I was 20 and began a relationship with the land downunder that has drawn me to live and work there .

Writing and playing music is a wonderful tool for me. It brings the whole maelstrom of thinking to a halt. I’m sure any artist would say the same, that the creative process is so rewarding in this way - That it reconnects or puts the creator in touch with himself, with that inexhaustible flow of energy and power that is always there,but only in this present moment which is eternity unfolding.

I find life more difficult and less meaningful if I can’t work. I have heard other artists say the same - not only musicians. I feel it is an energy - flow thing. I often wonder whether I would still write music if nobody ever listened.

And what of now - this ever elusive will o the wisp we call the present. Sometimes it carries me alive and kicking and other times I try to be carried but more often than not in the words of John Lennon ‘Life is what happens to me while I’m making other plans’

About Soraya Saraswati

I was born in Brisbane Australia in 1960, and as a child grew up in rural Queensland and the Northern Territory. Perhaps this is why I developed an awe and drawing toward nature, the ocean and the bush have always been places of communion for my soul. I was spared any formal religion as a child, being in the forest was how I felt close to my God. At the age of 21 disillusioned with the responsibilities and stress of the world I left it in the formal sense, donned orange robes and spent 8 years living a yogic lifestyle and teaching yoga & meditation in Satyananda Ashrams. This is where I developed my love for the tonal sanskrit language, mantra and chant.  This time instilled in me great self discipline and dedication to a balanced lifestyle, and higher purpose, however with the desire for a family and the understanding that I now needed to experience what I had learned in the Big Wide World I  left ashram life. Since then I have continued exploring  the quest of humanity for happiness, health and mental peace. My exploration has led me to travel and to study naturopathy, nutrition, reiki and spiritual healing and holistic living. I now put all these skills together and offer a balanced holistic and Intuitive approach to health, healing and the quest to attain moksha - liberation from all that keeps us bound to pain on any level of our being.

Music is the universal language of the soul and I encourage others to set their inhibitions aside and sing with an open heart. With regular Kirtan gatherings here at Mandala we sing together with an open heart sharing time with like minded friends.

It has been my great privilage  in recent years to work with Terry my husband and dearest friend who’s musical ability is both profound and inspiring. Through private consultations, yoga classes, workshops and retreats we offer our tools for transformation.
