Episode 97: Yoga Nidra for Grief or Change

Episode 97:

A 40 minute Yoga Nidra practice with the intention to support feelings of overwhelm that come with grief or change.

Yoga Nidra is a guided savasana that leads you into a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. The practice draws our attention inwards, and we may slip between the states of wakefulness and sleep. The breath can become very quiet, and unconscious and conscious aspects of the mind reveal themselves. You may fall asleep or into a deep state of calm. 

This practice is a really concrete way to bring rest into your life. Falling asleep is ok!

Dedicate this time and space to open into your grief as much as you would like, any kind of grief, any sense of loss you may be experiencing in your life . . . someone close to you, a relationship, a job, an opportunity. Whatever grief is arising for you is welcome to be the focus of your practice today, Acknowledge its presence and be present with it however you are comfortable.
