Welcome to our transformative session of Nova Nidra, guided by Ayla Nova. This ancient practice of Yoga Nidra or 'yogic sleep' allows us to delve deeply into relaxation while maintaining a trace of awareness.

Understanding Cutting Cords: Historically, the practice of cutting cords stems from various spiritual traditions, where it is used to sever energetic ties that bind us to past experiences or relationships that no longer serve our highest good. These ties are thought to impact our emotional and energetic health, and cutting them is seen as a way to cleanse our spirit or aura and reclaim personal energy.

In today's session, Ayla Nova honours the courage it takes to engage in this deep healing work. We begin by setting the stage for a comfortable practice, aligning the body and calming the mind. You will be guided through the layers of your being—from the physical to the profound—using the gentle flow of breath and the power of intention (Sankalpa) to foster inner peace and release.

'Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.' – Eckhart Tolle

Welcome to this transformative Yoga Nidra session with Ayla Nova, where we embrace deep rest and explore the realm of the subconscious to bring you closer to 

As the ancient wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita reminds us, "You have the right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions" (Chapter 2, Verse 47). This teaching resonates deeply, inviting us to engage in actions with love and presence without attachment to outcomes.

In today’s practice, we journey into radical self-acceptance, encouraging you to be fully present and to release the longing to be anywhere but here.

Yoga Nidra session will help you:
• Clear pathways that block you from expanding
• Diminish stress and mental exhaustion
• Pave the way for deep, restorative sleep
• Enhance emotional equilibrium

What to Expect:
• An introduction to Yoga Nidra's core principles
• Setting a personal intention or Sankalpa for mental clarity
• Guided techniques for profound mental relaxation
• A thorough Yoga Nidra journey focusing on anchoring in the present

Who This is For: 
Anyone looking to embrace their whole self. This session is particularly beneficial for those dealing with insecurity, self-doubt, or harsh self-judgment, as well as anyone seeking deeper self-compassion and understanding.

I am sharing some important updates about our journey together on this channel.

As many of you know, my passion for Yoga Nidra extends beyond our practice sessions. It encompasses a deep commitment to exploring how these practices can profoundly affect our well-being, especially concerning the nervous system and how we process stress, anxiety and unresolved trauma. To honour this commitment and ensure the program is both impactful and informed, I have decided to take a short break from uploading new Yoga Nidra sessions.

This pause will allow me to focus on comprehensive research into the effects of the nervous system, serve our community better, and consider my own needs simultaneously. My aim is to return with insights that will further enrich our practices and enhance your journey toward peace and equanimity.

Rest assured, this is only a pause. I will return. During this period, I encourage you to revisit our existing sessions and continue your practice. Each session is designed to be revisited and can offer new insights and comforts each time. 

Please feel free to share this channel with friends and loved ones who might benefit from Yoga Nidra. Your support in spreading the word helps us grow and reach more individuals in need of calm and balance.

Thank you for your understanding and your unwavering support. I am excited to embark on this research phase and look forward to sharing all that I have learned with you. If you would like to stay informed while I am on this journey, please sign up for the newsletter by going to aylanova.com
