The Rested Rebel Podcast

Episode: MoonNidra Prayer — Clarity in the Light of the Corn MoonLength: ~15 minutes

This week’s MoonNidra comes in a different form. Normally a meditation, tonight it arrives as a prayer — written under the September Corn Moon.

Feel free to rest in a lying position, close your eyes, and simply receive. Let this prayer be a moment of stillness, and a doorway into rest.

Inside you’ll hear:

Why prayer itself is a form of surrender

How the Corn Moon reminds us of harvest, clarity, and cycles renewed

What to do when fear of mistakes clouds your choices

The invitation to trust one step at a time, as the moon lights your way

A simple prayer, offered as practice.

Show Notes

The Swords reflect the clarity and sharpness of thought.

The Solar Plexus Chakra is the seat of willpower, fire, and discernment.

In this practice, air feeds the inner fire — the fire burns through confusion — and clarity remains.

Creativity is the bridge between mind and emotion, the place where ideas transform into lived expression.

This is the closing practice in Suits of the Body.Thank you for walking this four-part journey with me.

And this is only the beginning.A full Arcana Nidra series — weaving Tarot and the chakras in a deeper way — is on its way.

– Theme: Fire, expression, creativity– Body focus: Throat & voice– Element: Fire– Suit: Wands– Chakra: Throat

Creativity is the thread that connects emotion to voice, imagination to truth. This episode invites you to feel how movement, breath, and sound can clear space for what wants to be spoken.

Episode 2 of 4 — Suits of the Body: Cups × Sacral Chakra

The Suit of Cups speaks in the language of the heart — love, grief, joy, longing. In Tarot, it mirrors the tides of water: sometimes spilling over, sometimes still and deep.

Your sacral chakra — Svadhisthana — is the vessel for these waters. Located in the pelvic bowl, it’s the seat of creativity, emotion, and feminine energy.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Water element is the deepest reservoir. It teaches us adaptability, patience, and the quiet gathering of strength.

In this practice, you’ll be guided to:

Rest awareness in your pelvic bowl

Feel your inner waters held, contained, and supported

Release the need to rush your emotional process

Remember the rhythm of stillness and motion

This is the feminine tide — the ebb and flow that nourishes life itself.

I’m back — and taking this opportunity to step into the 8/8 portal with intention, softness, and something I’ve been waiting to share.

Let’s reset our idea of the Pentacle suits.

This suit is not just about money. It’s about what you need to live on this Earth — in a body, with breath, with rhythm.

Physical health.A sound mind.A safe place to land.Food that nourishes.Work that sustains.Rest that restores.

This is how the Earth provides —quietly, steadily, without asking for performance.

The Suit of Pentacles is Earth energy.It mirrors the Root Chakra — Muladhara —the energetic home of safety, stability, and enoughness.

This is where we hold early survival scripts:of fear, disconnection, scarcity, and control.

And this is also where we begin again.

This Nidra isn’t about manifesting wealth.It’s about softening the grip around survival.It’s about letting the Earth hold you — and remembering that you are already supported.

Welcome to June.

This week’s Nidra meets the Waxing Crescent Moon —a tender return of light after the dark.Our body focus is the lower back and spine —the structures that hold us upright,and the ones that quietly ask for rest when we carry too much.

This practice is part of a month-long theme:Resting in the Light.Each week in June, we’ll meet a different part of the body,listening gently for what it needs to feel safe, supported, and steady again.

Let this be your pause.Let the spine soften.Let breath move where tension once lived.

🌿 The Clarity Pack is now open —a 21-day journey to reset your nervous system and reclaim your energy.Learn more here

With love,Nikki

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
