This week’s MoonNidra arrives with the New Moon —a time of stillness, soft resets, and unseen beginnings.

In the Vedic sky, this moon rests in Krittika Nakshatra —a solar fire that clears space for truth.Krittika means “the cutters” — an energy that doesn’t rush, but refines.

Our body focus is the pelvis and lower belly —the place where rest is most physical.Most primal.Where you don’t think — you feel.Where you don’t push — you hold.

This week’s Nidra is longer.A 20-minute guided rest — unedited, unpolished, live.You’ll move through a gentle full-body scan, visualization, and quiet affirmations —a place to drop, not decide.

You don’t have to name the seed.You don’t have to make it grow.Just let it rest in the dark.

🧭 What Is Yoga Nidra?

Traditional Yoga Nidra moves through a subtle rhythm:Stillness → Intention (Sankalpa) → Body awareness → Breath → Withdrawal → Visualization → Return.

MoonNidra honors this rhythm —but lets the moon, the body, and the emotional climate lead.

Each session:

* Follows the current moon phase

* Focuses on one part of the body

* Moves gently through:Intro → Breath → Body Scan → Visualization → Rest → Return

This is rest for real life.No edits. No expectations. Just breath and body and moon.

🌱 What’s Next

I had planned to open subscriptions in June — but I’ve decided to wait.The Clarity Pack launch is around the corner, and I want to give that space to bloom first.

MoonNidra will remain free for now.Still weekly. Still real.

If you’ve been here, listening quietly — thank you.You’re part of this rhythm.

See you next Monday — under a growing moon.

With love,Nikki
