And when she came back, I remember in the opening like group, she shared that she'd gone home and had not changed anything. The only thing she did was practice yoga nidra, I think twice a day in the morning and the evening. And she's like, my boys changed.

I actually don't think the boys probably changed at all, but she was someone who was filled with anxiety and stress and the kids were picking up on that. And she wasn't able to tolerate the discomfort or distress of her children or boys just being boys. I don't even think they were really probably behaving more than an eight and 10 year old does differently. But She couldn't handle it.

And now she was able to kind of build this distress tolerance by practicing this meditation. And Nidra means sleep. So it's a sleep-based meditation. Yeah. Do you want to just briefly describe what it looks like? Generally, what it looks like is first, a person lays down. And ideally, they'd be laying on their back unless they can't lay on their back.

But you lay on your back and get in a very comfortable position. It's a guided practice, and one of the reasons it's guided is it kind of becomes a technique that disappears the technique. And what I mean by that is if you're sitting doing meditation and you're doing something where you have to focus on a mantra, which is โ€“ This is not an exclusion of that.

But when you're doing that, you kind of have to focus on that mantra. So sometimes having to focus on something can bring you out of it. And in those practices, bringing you out of it is โ€“ beneficial too, because you want to be brought out of it and then you can find ways to get back into it, it being the meditative experience.
