The Rest We Share: Jewish-informed Yoga Nidra Meditations | Ruthie Ayzenberg

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

In this short, episode you are guided through a gentle Yoga Nidra hearing meditation created to connect with the energy of the Jewish month of Av. The theme of this month is listening—learning to truly hear ourselves, one another, and the earth beneath the chatter of the mind.

The practice moves from external listening to internal awareness of listening to your harmonic heart, followed by planting a heartfelt intention. 

What to expect: a brief, grounding guided meditation focused on embodied listening, gradual inward attention, and a simple intention-setting ritual. Key points include body relaxation, breath awareness, progressive listening from far to near and a heart-centered intention. 

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.

In this episode we spend time with Moish Feiglin, an integrative psychotherapist, breathwork guide, and musician who founded Echo Healing. Moish shares his personal path from traditional social work to somatic, trauma-informed breathwork, including how his experiences led him to blend psychotherapy, breath practices, music, nature, and community for deep healing.

We explore the role of music in guided sessions as well as the similarities and differences between breathwork and yoga nidra and when each may be most useful.

The episode covers safety and contraindications and how breathwork can be adapted to meet individual needs. Moish emphasizes trauma-informed group adaptations and the importance of attunement so powerful experiences are followed by adequate support. We also delve in the role of community and support in integrating peak experiences into daily life.

Join host Ruthie Ayzenberg and guest Deepak Chari for a deep, hopeful conversation about how anxiety, stress, and long-held emotional patterns live in our bodies — and how they can be released. Deepak, an engineer-turned-healer and creator of the Life Transformation Technology Program, explains how advanced voice biofeedback listens to the subconscious intelligence in your voice to uncover ancestral, prenatal, and childhood imprints that shape confidence, relationships, and wellbeing.

This episode covers Deepak’s personal story, why he moved from engineering into emotional healing, and the four phases that form emotional imprints. Ruthie and Deepak walk through concrete case studies and outcomes as Deepak explains his stepwise approach and how the work meets each person where they are. The episode also includes practical tools you can use right away to downregulate your nervous system. This episode connects voice-based biofeedback to the inward, restorative work of yoga nidra and offers immediate tools plus a clear pathway for deeper transformation.

Who this episode is for: listeners struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, burnout, insomnia, feeling unseen or unheard, or people who keep repeating negative relationship or confidence patterns. 

Deepak's bio:

Deepak Chari helps women and men release hidden emotional blocks from stress, anxiety, and past emotional experiences with an Advanced Voice Biofeedback Technology—so they can feel calm, confident, empowered and free!

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake... 

In this episode, I am delighted to chat with Shaina Hammer, a birth doula and licensed clinical social worker, about what it really means to prepare for birth and postpartum in a way that supports your nervous system, mental health, and optimizes your rest.

We explore how practices like yoga nidra, meditation, hypnobirthing and self-care can help you feel more grounded during pregnancy, support early labor, and ease the transition into postpartum. Shaina shares thoughtful insights from both the therapy room and the birth space, including how postpartum depression can go unnoticed, how birth trauma can be gently healed, and why having compassionate, nonjudgmental support can make such a difference.

Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, supporting a loved one, or working in the birth or mental health world, this episode offers grounded wisdom, practical tools, and a sense of being deeply understood.

Shaina's bio:

Shaina is a birth doula and mental health professional, who works with women through a deeply holistic, mind–body approach to birth and motherhood. She teaches conscious and mindfulness-based birthing classes that draw from hypnobirthing, meditation, and somatic awareness, helping parents prepare for birth as a full human experience—mentally, emotionally, and physically. Her work emphasizes how the mind plays a powerful and specific role in birth, and how awareness, intention, and presence can shape the experience. In addition to birth preparation, she supports mothers after birth through a variety of healing modalities, including compassionate care for those processing birth trauma, creating space for integration, grounding, and restoration in the postpartum period.
