#NSDR 

So excited for this! Thank you Dr. Huberman and Virtusan!

That's amazing, Andrew! I will listen to it, even though I don't practice any kind of NSDR, nor meditation, nor anything else. I have quite insuficient sleep, therefore I sleep even 10-11 hours and I still feel tired. I know it's not normal, I might have some kind of the chronical fatique. Just by the way I extremely value and appreciate that I have all five senses. The vision and hearing are the most fascinating, fundamental, crucial, vital and important from all of our senses.

Yey! Thank you for this one! Some time ago I suggested in twitter comments that you voice a NSDR and now it’s really here! That is so nice 😀

This is incredible, just did it and am extremely impressed with the outcome. Its so refreshing and nice to open my eyes and not be drowned in information. Thank you virtusan and thank you as always Andrew

Thank you Dr. Huberman + Virtusan. I just did the protocol and it is relaxing and great. P.s. Some 15 yrs ago, I took my first yoga class ever, at a gym. It was none mystical and mostly exercise oriented. I joined because few of my back vertebrates were hurting and I thought I must exercise to get stronger and help the relief from this pain. After 50 minutes of guided movements - which were releasing the body from tension - we came down to the best part of the class as some would describe it, relaxation and meditation. I had no idea what is entailed. Our teacher, calmly guided us to scan each part of our body - just as you did. He stayed on each part a bit longer. He said: As you look at each part of your body see if there is any pain, any tension, and tell your body to release it. And so I did. I couldn’t believe that the two painful vertebrate started to feel adjusted and the pain was gone after the class. It felt so good. Today I understand we are calling that a protocol - NSDR. I know the exercise helped immensely. But I started to believe that our brain has powers that are perhaps unknown to us, and I keep testing that power when I can. Even if we don’t have a scientific way to describe this yet, one way or the other, the brain is an amazingly complicated machine. This was a wonderful practice. Grateful for it 🙏🏻 thank you

Hey💙 I also struggled with anxiety and that‘s why you probably relate when I say that I wanted to find the root cause for it so bad. I mean yeah, tons of techniques out there that help but no one transforms the anxiety. Having anxiety on a regular basis is always to some degree or even fully the consequence of having fear of fear. That‘s why it get‘s so ramped up and endures so long because it‘s self perpetuating. I recommend analysing your beliefs and definitions over fear, at least that‘s what set me free from having regularly anxiety🙏🏼 Hope this helps, you got this!

This was so well said and I had to share. I think all of the yoga nidra, tai chi, Headspace app, detachment philosophy are all techniques to reduce signal through the Fight or Flight cables and allow signal to flow through the Rest Digest cables. All of it goes back to that mechanism of action in the body and all the things you listed that all of us have tried are mostly all systems for muscle and brain health but if anything they help us amplify the Fight Cables and very little in our biohacking world shift us to Rest Cables and yoga nidra is probably the best form but when it needs to be easy 10 minutes of 4-7-8 breathing has been the game changer for me. Bonus tip: combine this or the 478 with the second sip of breath Andrew shared with us recently (first breath expands the lungs, but the second sip hits the bottom of the lungs which are the most tied to Rest Cables). Cheers mate, we’re all pumped we’re not alone.

Thank you for sharing. I’m exercise, take cold showers, eat well, etc. etc. as well and have still been overwhelmed by anxiety. I’m going to give this a go once a day in the evenings for 2 months and see what comes of it!

​@@iamsercanakdefinitions over fear can you elaborate on giving me an specific example on how you did. Great man keepushing

Amen to that! Those sounds drive me crazy.

Deep voice: "Now imagine you are floating in serene silence..." Background: *KAW! ah! KAW! ah!* *Kraaaaaah!* *tsik-a-zee-zee-zee*

@@kyletimbaker LMAO for real. "Imagine you are floating in the ocean" *massive cargo ship explodes, oil everywhere*

🔥🙌

@@kyletimbaker Best comment ever ... :)

Wonderful to hear Anthony :-)

Is there a preferred time(s) to do this? Like what time during the day and before/after certain activities?

I think andrew huberman usually recommends doing it right after waking (if u did not get enough sleep), during the first circadian dip in the day (usually around afternoonish for most people) or possibly right after a bout of intense focus (if you do multiple bouts of learning for school or whatnot) @@yq_7865

@@yq_7865 You can do it when you feel stressed, or when you feel lack of energy, or just whenever you feel like you want to.

​@@yq_7865anytime is fine

Thanks for the tip! 🙏

Good idea! I LOVE Huberman and was super excited about this. But was wishing it was 20 min long and then when I did it found that he didn’t give enough time for true long relaxed breaths

I will try this. 10 minutes is not enough for me to fall asleep/relax

That's a great tip! Found myself thinking I needed more time to breathe

Yeah I wish the breathing parts had a little more time for them, I dislike the .75 because I can't stand the distortion on the voice, breaks my immersion.

Absolutely! Thank you 😊…

Listen at 2x speed! 🤣

@@maxmat2874 really dude

Oh baby!!! ❤❤❤😉😜😋😍🥰🤭🤗☺💯😲♥️♥️♥️

Yaasss u know it, its so weird hearing him not say podcast also i also listen on 1.5x or faster lollll

Panic attacks are the worst. I've tried everything to ease them over the years, but nothing keeps them at bay quite like Ashwagandha-would highly recommend looking into it.

@@charlie_tillett ashwaganda totally delete my panick attacks

@@charlie_tillett for real

You are very welcome :-)

Anyone try NSDR on young children, middle schoolers or older students? I asked a frustrated bipolar homeless guy to sit down and try it (with headphones). He became significantly more calm, and could focus on his next steps. Wished he had a phone so he could use it regularly. Truly magical to see his response, particularly since I didn't think it would be all that useful, but I desperate for him to relax.

When and how often do you practice this?

​@@juanguillen6125 watch the Andrew huberman video he tells you about it

​@Juan Guillen I'm doing it in the morning right after I wake up to make up for missed sleep

​@@spacecookiez5045this means u can sleep less and still be more productive?

Or download it

It’s called yoga nidra which was introduced by ancient India

@@ravicrazyster Yes, Huberman talks and establishes that in his podcasts, but NSDR is a more scientific approach and protocol anyone can practice without getting into the mystic side of things.

@@Eddi3Pwnsyoga nidra is scientific.

Try cold shower with it

Nsdr->Cold shower->meditate and sunshine-> some quick push-ups = the morning recipe for being happy and not an asshole.

Vitamin D, fish oil, and sun light are also helpful

​@@nels6991 wim hoff breathing method relaxes me the most you should try iy

Try go exploring.

I'm feeling like I need to cry.

I just get tears rolling out . Kind of like those tears when you yawn. It's non emotional.

I also had a strong emotional reaction but I couldn’t stop laughing. Almost like my stress was being melted off my body

I’m glad. Sometimes we are so clouded by things going on in our minds that we buy our emotions. Things like inner happiness or relief are the results of this amazing practice

@@jguitar151 I had a laughing impulse as well. Odd.

hey, do you still have PTSD? and if not how did u got rid of it ?

@@overmind13 hey there! I do still have PTSD. Unfortunately, it's not something that can be cured, only managed, but since my diagnosis a year ago I've become a lot better at coping with it. I'm also medicated now which has helped, too. My flashbacks are less frequent and I know what to do when they show up. I still struggle with regular nightmares, and my daily tension is through the roof... but it's not as bad as it was at the start. If you're dealing with this too, it's gonna be okay

48 hour what 😮

many techniques from India like Pranayama and its variation are being rebranded to avoid giving credit to the sages... that way it is presented as a product of "research" and claim authorship ( you can see like "box breating" " alternate nostril breating" " happy baby pose" and so on are plain practices from India that were stolen without giving credit to the Rishis.

Ally Boothroyd does amazing ones

Talk about stating the obvious. Thank you soooo much.

@@kiwifyson yep, that should have been mentioned by Andrew. Leaving this information out does disservice to people, but I understand that he wants to provide a protocol for the western mind where yoga nidra might be considered woodoo that just can't work. People have spent thousands of years figuring that shit out and they were smart. Western science is here to rediscover it again with a different set of tools and maybe push our understanding further. We are at the stage of rediscovering. There is nothing wrong with that, but in the mean time we can just use the deep wisdom that's already here - yoga nidra.

We know, this is just a more straightforward version which is appreciated when you’re low on time

Would someone be able to help, with the visualisation. Do you literally visualise yourself illuminating your body or do you visualise that part(or at end your whole body) being lit up/bathed in light? I struggle to visualise myself using a torch to light up my body.

@@Blackbishopifywhat i try is being in a dark room and visualize my soul leave my body and that soul lighting up my body with a flashlight sometimes its hard ngl

@@Blackbishopify I visualize a strong light that enhances my sensibility in that part of the body

Why is this comment so funny?

Stop dreaming on RU-vid

@@basketguitar9768

I hope your body and mind are healing and so that of your Sprit✨

Todddd wassup dude?

This is yoga nindra(Yoga sleep) from Yoga 😂😂 you renamed it🤣🤣🤣

​​@@keshav_k_0793okay, so what 🥱

Yess, people were recommending me this. But this is literally Yoga Nidra from the patajali scriptures in India.

It's renamed as sometimes when people hear Yoga or anything mystic they get put off. But yes this is all just yoga Nidra. Nothing new but very beneficial

same 🙋🏻‍♀️💗

You think? ♥️♥️♥️♥️😲🤣

Check out Chinese medicine practitioner. Ear is connected to kidney. This condition can be addressed by tonifying kidney yin. Cheers.

Good job finding something to help with tinnitus, good luck getting it down! Wish you the best.

@@Ali-bn6xk thank you! ❤. Wish you the best too!

@@galaxymetta5974 thanks for the info!. I've tried chinese medicine with two chinese doctors and they help me with other things but not with my tinnitus. In my case is more related to anxiety. The more time I spend working on my mental/pyhiscal well being the more my tinnitus improves.
