What Is NSDR

NSDR stands for Non Sleep Deep Rest, a simple practice that guides your body and mind into a deeply relaxed state without needing to fall asleep. It helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and support focus and recovery. By combining breath awareness, body scans, and stillness, NSDR creates space for rest, even during a busy day.

It’s one of the more accessible ways to meditate, since you’re gently guided to notice different parts of the body rather than focusing on just one thing.
