NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

This gentle Yoga Nidra practice is created for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, inviting you to rest within the temporary shelter of your own being, release fears, and cultivate trust and healing.

This episode includes guided breathwork, a body scan mapped to Sukkot symbols, visualization of a personal shelter, exploration of contrasting feelings, and the setting and reaffirmation of a personal intention (kavana). Suitable for rest, reflection, and spiritual restoration during the holiday season. 

 

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, ready to embark on this journey of introspection and spiritual awareness. 

  • Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth.

  • Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a comprehensive body scan in the spirit of this season by focusing on each part of your body to rotate your consciousness into a state of deep healing rest. 

  • Experience Polarities: Train your body and mind to contain opposite feelings at the same time
  • Visualization:  Rest in deep awareness experiencing guided imagery
  • Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier. Let it sink deeply into your being and encode throughout your body.

  • Externalization: Gently transition back to your ordinary waking state. Reconnect with your surroundings to integrate the practice into your daily life and embrace the essence of this season.
