Yoga Nidra for Letting Go


 

Visualization offers you the opportunity to use the power of your imagination to create the life you want. A life of happiness and confidence to go after your dreams.

Consider this guided visualization as a mental practice for where you want to end up this year. Practicing in your mind so that you can effortlessly manifest your goals from thought form to material form.

Studies have proven that mental practices are almost effective as the real thing and that thoughts can produce the same mental patterns as actions.

If you want to spend more time learning about overcoming self-doubt to reach your goals or uncovering what might be keeping you from success be sure to catch episodes 71 and 72 to support you.

This is designed to be done when you are free from distraction (not while driving or needing to pay attention to anything that doesn't leave you or others safe).

Last episode of 2022!

You know practice makes perfect but have you ever stopped to think about what you are actually practicing? 

This week on the Align and Expand Podcast I am inviting you to think about the actions, thoughts, and habits that you do day and day out, as a practice. 

And if practice makes perfect, are you actually practicing what you want to perfect, or are you getting really good at the stuff that keeps you misaligned from your goals?

You won't want to miss this episode so you can learn key concepts like:

• How to identify what you are practicing (even if you don't mean to be)
• Withdrawing attention away from what you don't want and pouring attention onto what you do want
• Pratipaksha Bhavana as a practice to replace negative thoughts and actions

Also, hear what you can expect in 2023 on the podcast! 

If you have been a listener for 2022 and still haven't left a review, can you do me a favor and head there now? Rating the podcast helps support me and the show so we can continue reaching new listeners.

Joining me today for episode 69 is Daniela Sulek where we have a deep conversation on how you can start to find joy and ease while navigating through any experience in your life by being instead of doing. 

Expect to hear an interview that will challenge your current beliefs and possibly open you up to an experience that helps you find more joy and ease even in times your mind perceives as difficult. 

What you can expect to hear and more!

• The difference between our natural state and the mind state
• How the mind creates filters of illusions
• The trap of believing that there is something outside of us that we need to achieve or do to find joy
• Why we cannot relax and find joy in the “mind state”
• How reality shifts, and every second of reality shifts based on who we are in that moment.

About Daniela Sulek: Daniela helps renowned leaders activate and integrate a permanent state of higher consciousness. By transcending from creating by doing to creating by being, they are no longer bound by the conditioned mind, time, or space. They create the experiences they desire. They also create massive impacts through effortless action from the unconditioned state of their being. About 1% of the world’s population functions primarily at this level of consciousness.

Daniela sees through the illusion of rigid physical reality and ridicule of human conditioning. Her thirst for truth naturally brought her on a journey of experiencing the self beyond the mind, body, and physical reality. She has brought a leading-edge concept of universal energy, energy medicine, quantum physics, metaphysics and higher logic into her daily life creating massive physical, mental, and emotional shifts for herself and her clients.
