56 minutes

Hello tend her wild podcast listeners. Today we are re-releasing one of our favorite episodes with Tracee Stanley Tracee is a gifted yoga niddra teacher and the author of the books radiant rest and luminous self.

During challenging and uncertain times with so many distractions, there can be great healing and transformative power in practicing rest and being still. In this episode Tracee shares with us the value of deep relaxation, and the divine creativity that emerges from embracing stillness. We encourage you to connect to Tracee’s platform for sacred tools and rituals that help us return to our inner wisdom and connect to our wholeness and power. Be well.

Today we discuss:

Tracee’s first ten years being raised in a strict, overprotective home where freedom was limited, but education and space for daydreaming, reading, and learning were emphasized

The importance of Tracee’s Nana, and what she learned by observing her power and ability to hold space for others

Tracee’s first experiences with Yoga Nidra, and how it evolved, including her awareness that Yoga Nidra was “the Goddess”

The power of ancestral healing, and how to call in the ancestors that are well in spirit

How Tracee views “re-wilding” in her book Radiant Rest as taking the practices directly into nature. Practice and nature are not separate, and we are not separate from nature.

The benefits of committing to more time in rest

“Since the invention of the lightbulb it has disconnected us from the cycles of nature. When we start resting we can start to connect to our own nature, which is nature and that in itself is healing.” -Tracee
