January 19, 2025 Yoga Nidra for Rest & Relaxation
Join Ailsa for 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra to ignite your inner fire. This Yoga Nidra meditation will explore the Fire Element which in yoga philosophy is linked to your Solar Plexus Chakra. The Fire Element is related to our enthusiasm, motivation and self-confidence; it is the literal fire in our bellies. This Yoga Nidra is designed to help you explore the qualities of the Fire Element and the practice includes visualisation, body sensing, body awareness and breathing techniques (pranayama).
Yoga Nidra helps to induce complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. This yogic sleep technique calms the nervous system and activates the parasympathetic response (rest and digest). This Yoga Nidra is designed to reset and reboot your whole nervous system. Lie down, relax and rest, while practising meditation. This Yoga Nidra aims to offer you anxiety relief, to induce a deep sense of inner peace and to calm stress. Allow Ailsa's soothing female voice to guide you through a deeply relaxing, restful and rejuvenating Yoga Nidra.
Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation practised lying down that leads you into a healing and deeply restful state. The practice of Yoga Nidra guides you through the layers of consciousness, or Koshas, as referred to in yoga philosophy. This short, 15 minute Yoga Nidra allows time to explore the physical and energetic layers of consciousness (or Koshas), with plenty of time at the start to settle into this guided relaxation. Yoga Nidra can be beneficial for conditions including chronic pain, adrenal fatigue, sleep problems, depression and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); while increasing health, resiliency and well-being. Even when practised during the day, Yoga Nidra can help to improve the quality of your sleep at night. Each Yoga Nidra on this channel is lovingly created by Ailsa and designed to be your haven of peace and tranquillity.

December 08, 2024 Yoga Nidra for the Nervous System
This Fire Element Yoga Nidra meditation is designed to soothe, restore and reset your nervous system. Ailsa will guide you through intention, an inner resource practice, body sensing, breathwork, joy and awareness.
The Fire Element in yogic philosophy is linked to the Manipura Chakra. This element is associated with your confidence, enthusiasm for life, the ‘fire in your belly’, your passion, inner strength, heat, power and transformation. The Fire Element is also associated with digestion both physically but also how you process and digest your life. When this element is unbalanced, we can become depressed, lazy, withdrawn, lacking motivation, irritable, angry and
aggressive. The Fire Element can be an energising and uplifting element to explore, and therefore, this Yoga Nidra has been designed with the qualities of Fire in mind’ uplifting and inspiring, but with space to slow down, reflect and turn inwards.
Get cosy, and let yourself be guided by Ailsa's soothing voice to a state of deep rest and relaxation. Ailsa's voice is female with a soft Scottish accent and there is no music accompanying the meditation.
