NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

We are now in the Jewish month of Iyyar, which is a time for healing.  Today's Yoga Nidra practice is designed for embodied healing through following your breath, generating warmth, and connecting to the inexhaustible reservoir of light within your field of deeper consciousness. This practice incorporates a special method called Prana Nidra to harneness your healing potential by connecting to the breath, heat, and light properties. Prana means vital life force energy--the thing that makes us alive and healthy (Nidra means sleep btw). By working with the prana through the mind-body connection during Yoga Nidra, healing and illness prevention can occur. 

By taking a break from Doing and entering a state of Being beyond the realm of cognitive thought, you can let your worries, fears, and ailments dissolve.  From this place, natural repair of the body and mind begins to happen on a subtle level. You are invited to adopt a stance of curiosity and learn about yourself as you are guided through this journey. 

I'd love to hear what you experienced!
