The Nyasa tantric practice is considered as the origin of Yoga Nidra. Nyasa means "to place" or bring your attention to a point. The idea is simple in nature yet it can become complex if you don't know what your doing.

It consist of placing your attention to certain parts of your body and pronounce specific sounds (mantras for the most of it) at the same time you touch the area of your body.

Per example, the bija Ham would be chanted and at the same time, you would place your thumbs (angustha) on your throat.

Here bellow, as per Sir John Woodrofe's transcript, is the Angushtadi-Shadanga-nyasa

• Thumb: Hram angushtabyyam namah
• Index: Hrim tarjanibhyamswaha
• Middle finger: Hrum madhyamabyyam vashat
• Ring finger: Hraim hanamikabyyam vashat
• Pinky finger: Hraum kanishthabhyamvaushat
• Palm and back of the hand: Hrah karatalaprishtabhyamphat
