NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
In this episode, I'm honored to speak with David Crowe, a seasoned acupuncturist and herbalist, about how deep rest practices like yoga nidra, body-based meditation, and botanical medicine work together to retrain the nervous system and support lasting healing.
We deep dive into the practice of yoga nidra and discuss practical integration—simple herb-and-mindfulness routines for home—cautions around entheogens and trauma, and resources for continuing practice and study.
David's bio:
David Crow, L.Ac., graduated from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1984; he is a California state licensed acupuncturist and nationally certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He has been a clinician, consultant, researcher and educator for over 40 years, and is an expert in Chinese, Tibetan, Ayurvedic and Western herbal medicine. David was one of the first Westerners to train and be licensed in Chinese medicine, and one of the few to study Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine in traditional internships in Nepal and India; he was also one of the first medical pioneers to use essential oils and aromatherapy in clinical practice, and to integrate these diverse modalities into comprehensive treatments. David has operated several clinics, including a practice in Kathmandu serving the Tibetan and Nepalese communities as well as international travelers, and practices in California in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Monterey, and in Ashland, Oregon. David currently serves people from all over the world through his telemedicine practice.
David is a passionate medical researcher and educator of state-of-the-art herbal medicine, and an authority on the safe uses of herbs and essential oils. He avoids the popular trends of market-driven internet medicine and relies instead on documented research and traditional ethnobotanical wisdom and methods. David works in numerous herbal cultivation projects, including as the co-founder of The Learning Garden at Venice High School in Los Angeles, one of the first and oldest school gardens in the country.
As an esteemed leader in the herbal and aromatherapy industry for more than 30 years, David has established unique access to the highest quality sources of products for his patients.
