This is a simple and spacious practice of conscious rest, inviting you to retreat into the nest of the deep Self.
May this practice nourish your entire being. Blessings and love to all as we transition to 2022. May we find strength through conscious rest and tending to the self. May all beings be happy and free

Welcome to a simple and spacious practice for mind and heart integration and meaningful rest and self-care. I have intentionally left space between words to allow you to cultivate autonomy in your meditation. Sometimes words are like weeds (as in, there's too many!) and I want to provide guidance without crowding the mind.
I hope you enjoy this practice. Connect with me on Instagram @phoebe_boonkerd to let me know what you think.
with love, 
Phoebe

014 Yoga Nidra: Integration of Heart and Mind

Welcome back to the in-between state. Please enjoy this gentle yoga nidra practice, which invites pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses) with the use of sound. It also features a long body scan and a visualisation intended to help awaken creativity, where precious ideas are nurtured and allowed to reveal their potential with patience and time.


This will be the last episode for 2023, I'm looking forward to sharing more in 2024. In this upside down, troubled world, may you continue to find sanctuary within. May we all be safe from harm, happy, and free.

013 Yoga Nidra: Awakening Creativity

Join me for a seated pranayama practice and meditation practice. This practice is intentionally guided yet spacious, particularly in the latter stages, where silence is allowed for you to go deeper into your own meditation space, allowing greater autonomy while being gently guided to that space.


Nadi shodhana is the name of the breathing exercise used, and is intended to 'floss' the major energy channels (nadis) along the spine - allowing for freer flow of energy, and is also thought to support integration and balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.


My wish is that this practice acts as a realignment and stress release while helping you gain confidence in your own capacity to 'change dials' through breathwork and meditation, allowing greater awareness and presence to permeate your life.

011 Yoga Nidra: Ocean of Compassion (for sleep or daytime nervous system reset)

This yoga nidra practice is suitable either as an initiation to sleep, or as means to tap into the in-between state during your day.
Recorded on a balmy night at the height of Australian summer, the sound of crickets can be heard in the background. It is themed around a breath and prana-balancing technique detailed in Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD's radical, wonderful book Yoni Shakti: a woman's guide to yoga and tantra.
