NA’ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
Sometimes our energy levels and moods fluctuate like the ebbs and flows of the tide. And the phases of the moon. If you’re feeling the need for an energetic recharge from a state of deep relaxation, this episode is for you.
This Yoga Nidra practice is inspired by a full moon desert hike that I went on recently. Traversing the desert hills at night, what struck me most was how clear and visible everything was under the light of the moon. There were no street lamps anywhere--yet every pebble on the ground was visible. Being able to see clearly under the moonlight made me feel safe and I thought of how benevolent Hashem’s earth and cosmos are, naturally providing for our needs in the moment.
In this episode, we embark on a radiant meditation journey of self-discovery and tranquility under the full moon. Here, you are guided to create a space where all your experiences are welcomed, extending a radiant glow to your soul and mind. The Yoga Nidra journey under the full moon is a spiritual experience that harmonizes your body mind and soul while connecting your inner world with the abundant cosmos.
Episode summary:
Intro
Preparation: Ensure a comfortable and safe spot before starting this journey, with your body straight from head to toe, ready to experience a release from the shackles of the body and mind.
Intention Setting: Setting your intentions for today’s practice...
Rotation of Consciousness: A comprehensive body scan
Breath Awareness: Circular breathing practice representing the female moon energy (Chandra Behdi pranayama--Left nostril breathing)
Awareness of polarities: Experience and integrate opposite feelings to train yourself to RESPOND instead of REACTING to prompting stimuli
Visualization: A exploration of vivid imagery inviting you to practice non-attachment while experiencing all levels of awareness-imagination, emotions, sensations, and memory associations
Return to your intention: Calling in the sankalpa/kavanah/intention set earlier in the practice and letting it integrate
Externalization: Returning back to the ordinary waking state and taking your yoga nidra practice with you
Outro
As you emerge from this nourishing experience, I’d love to hear your reflections and feedback.
