NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

This episode is part of the Jewish Calendar Series and is created for the month of Av.  This month focuses on rectifying the sense of hearing and invites you to descend into the healing darkness where you can listen deeply to connect with the resonance of your soul. 

Through practicing Yoga Nidra, you take a pause from all the sensory input channels except for sound so you can focus on the space within. This practice of Yoga Nidra guides you in the exploration of sound as you journey through the layers of consciousness from the body, breath, and mind to your deeper understanding and soul consciousness. Instead of a traditional verbal visualization, this practice contains a non-verbal sound visualization sequence to support deepest listening beyond that which words can express, while you are held in a state of relaxation. 

Please note that this practice may bring out unexpected emotions or memories. This is completely normal, and you are encouraged to welcome all that shows up with curiosity and compassionate witnessing. If this is not the right time for you to elicit emotions, then a milder practice may be better suited for the time being. 

Prepare for a transformative experience as you receive the gift of rest in the stillness of your soul. Allow your body and mind to relax deeply as you sail through sounds and silence and hear your soul's whispers.

Episode Summary:

Here’s what you can expect:

Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. Make sure you’re fully supported completely at ease.

Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth.

Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a thorough body scan by listening to each part of your body as you transition into a state of deeper relaxation.

Externalization: Gradually transition back to your ordinary waking state and integrate the practice

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

In this episode, we welcome the soulful and mystical Jenna Zadaka, a pioneer in Jewish yoga and women's embodiment and empowerment. Jenna, the creator of Breath and Soul, shares her unique practice that blends yoga, mysticism, and somatic wisdom into a sacred path toward transformation for women awakening to their bodies, roots, and radiance.

Diving into the theme of "Jewish yoga and healing," Jenna shares her journey of integrating yoga with Jewish spirituality, moving from a focus solely on spiritual ascent to embracing the necessary union of body and soul, a concept core to both yoga and Kabbalah.

The conversation delves deep into the symbolism of the Tree of Life and its dynamic with the chakra system, addressing how Jewish spirituality can be enriched through accessible embodied practices. Jenna emphasizes the importance of understanding the female perspective in Kabbalah, and how this often-muted voice can illuminate a profound path in spiritual and personal healing.

Listeners will also hear about the significance of rest and the role of the feminine aspect of the Tree of Life, Malchut, in achieving a balance of spiritual and physical harmony. Ruthie and Jenna explore how individuals can find divine presence in the mundane details of life, leading to a more holistic and integrated spirituality.

Tune in for a thoughtful discussion that combines rich spiritual insights with practical teachings. Whether you're familiar with Jewish spirituality or new to the blending of these worlds, this episode offers valuable perspectives and inspiring wisdom.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

This Nidra journey is rooted in the mystical energy of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, a time traditionally associated with the rectification of sight—not just physical seeing, but the sacred act of inner vision. In this practice, you’ll be gently guided through the inner landscape of your body, breath, and memory using color, imagery, and kavanah/sankalpa (intention).

Tammuz is a month of destruction and burning, but also one of re-alignment—where our ability to truly see can begin again from the inside out.

This traditionally structured Yoga Nidra meditation focuses on inner sight and offers a color and memory visualization to support your exploration of your mind and heart. This practice is designed to help you relax, heal, and reconnect with your wholeness. 

Episode Summary:

Here’s what you can expect:

Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. Make sure you’re fully supported completely at ease.

Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth.

Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a thorough body scan by focusing on each part of your body to rotate your consciousness into a state of deep healing rest. 

Externalization: Gradually transition back to your ordinary waking state and integrate the practice
