NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
This practice guides you into an extended alpha brainwave state of complete relaxation, from which your guiding resolve can begin to awaken. Your resolve is called Sanklpa in Sanskrit or Kavanah in Hebrew. Sankalpa is a combination of two words: san =truth + kalpa = promise. Kavanah means intention and comes from the word kivun =direction. Your resolve is your truth to yourself, your guiding mission in life, tafkid, your most heartfelt affirmation or prayer. It is who you are at your highest potential.
Your resolve takes the form of a short, positive statement in the present tense starting with "I am..." Awakening your resolve in your conscious mind is the gateway to bringing it into reality.
If you're curious to awaken your resolve, this practice is for you.
Episode summary:
Intro
Preparation: Ensure a comfortable and safe spot before starting this journey, with your body straight from head to toe preparing to relax.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
This week's Yoga Nidra practice is dedicated to the first 9 days of Av and the day of Tisha b'Av, a time for reflection, accountability, hope, and renewal. The 9th of Av is a day for the commemoration of the ancient Temple, the Beit Hamikdash, of which today only the Western Wall remains.
The Temple symbolizes the connection with the Divine Source Consciousness, which is reflected in the body. The human body is like a moving, living temple through which life serves. The Temple is a place of compassion, connection, creativity, and blessings.
This practice of Yoga Nidra invites you to turn attention inward in safe, relaxing conditions where you can pay attention to your inner world and reconnect with your spiritual self. During this session, we'll explore the sacred architecture of your physical form, mirrored by the architecture of the ancient Tabernacle (the movable Temple). Because YOU are a holy, moving, living temple. You deserve to care for yourself and the body you inhabit. By tuning in and paying attention, you can create yourself into a home of connectedness, abundant blessings, and good deeds.
So, lie back, relax, and allow my voice to guide you. Remember, you can always return to this practice whenever you need a moment of calm and connection. Thank you for joining me, and don't forget to subscribe, share, and leave a comment. Your support means the world to me!
Sending you all my love and best wishes. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay connected. Until next time!

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
Feeling unsure, confused, or stressed and want to find more clarity in your life? In this episode, you are invited to join a calming Yoga Nidra practice focused on third eye activation for clarity--your invisible eye of wisdom and intuition.
We are now in the month of Tammuz, which is oriented around the theme of Seeing. Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson quoted Antoine de St Exupery stating, âIt is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." When we can see the invisible beyond the veil of illusions, confusion dissipates, doubts iron out like a crinkled paper, and solutions to problems become apparent.
This guided meditation is designed to help you reset your mind, reduce anxiety, and unlock your invisible eye through deep breathing, mindful awareness, and vivid visualizations. If you're looking to enhance your inner vision and find peace amidst the chaos, this practice offers a gentle pathway through deep relaxation to clarity.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
We are now in the Jewish month of Iyyar, which is a time for healing. Today's Yoga Nidra practice is designed for embodied healing through following your breath, generating warmth, and connecting to the inexhaustible reservoir of light within your field of deeper consciousness. This practice incorporates a special method called Prana Nidra to harneness your healing potential by connecting to the breath, heat, and light properties. Prana means vital life force energy--the thing that makes us alive and healthy (Nidra means sleep btw). By working with the prana through the mind-body connection during Yoga Nidra, healing and illness prevention can occur.
By taking a break from Doing and entering a state of Being beyond the realm of cognitive thought, you can let your worries, fears, and ailments dissolve. From this place, natural repair of the body and mind begins to happen on a subtle level. You are invited to adopt a stance of curiosity and learn about yourself as you are guided through this journey.
I'd love to hear what you experienced!

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
Sometimes our energy levels and moods fluctuate like the ebbs and flows of the tide. And the phases of the moon. If you're feeling the need for an energetic recharge from a state of deep relaxation, this episode is for you.
This Yoga Nidra practice is inspired by a full moon desert hike that I went on recently. Traversing the desert hills at night, what struck me most was how clear and visible everything was under the light of the moon. There were no street lamps anywhere--yet every pebble on the ground was visible. Being able to see clearly under the moonlight made me feel safe and I thought of how benevolent Hashem's earth and cosmos are, naturally providing for our needs in the moment.
In this episode, we embark on a radiant meditation journey of self-discovery and tranquility under the full moon. Here, you are guided to create a space where all your experiences are welcomed, extending a radiant glow to your soul and mind. The Yoga Nidra journey under the full moon is a spiritual experience that harmonizes your body mind and soul while connecting your inner world with the abundant cosmos.
Episode summary:
Intro
Preparation: Ensure a comfortable and safe spot before starting this journey, with your body straight from head to toe, ready to experience a release from the shackles of the body and mind.
Intention Setting: Setting your intentions for todayâs practice...
Rotation of Consciousness: A comprehensive body scan
Breath Awareness: Circular breathing practice representing the female moon energy (Chandra Behdi pranayama--Left nostril breathing)
Awareness of polarities: Experience and integrate opposite feelings to train yourself to RESPOND instead of REACTING to prompting stimuli
Visualization: A exploration of vivid imagery inviting you to practice non-attachment while experiencing all levels of awareness-imagination, emotions, sensations, and memory associations
Return to your intention: Calling in the sankalpa/kavanah/intention set earlier in the practice and letting it integrate
Externalization: Returning back to the ordinary waking state and taking your yoga nidra practice with you

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
This practice is created in the spirit of Pesach/Passover, a Jewish holiday that symbolizes liberation, renewal, release, and the journey from bondage to ultimate freedom.
We all have our personal shackles--whether it's negative thinking, unhealthy consumption, overworking, excessive screen time, limiting beliefs, etc. The journey to freedom requires an honest encounter with yourself and your highest purpose--this is your kavanah or sankapla. Sojourning through the vast spaciousness of the desert, where there are no external distractions, you can find stillness in the mind.
Yeonmi Park writes: "We all have our own deserts. That may not be the same as my desert, but we all have to cross them to find a purpose in life and be free."
By leading the layers of consciousness into the alpha, theta, and delta brainwave states, this journey delves deep into exploring the connections between body and mind, inviting access your personal reservoirs of freedom and courage. In this space of deeper consciousness, your personal becoming can begin to crystallize.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
In a state of confusion and suffering, it may be difficult to feel joy. Psychologists teach us that the most difficult emotion to have is --not anger, or fear, or sadness--its actually joy. Joy is the most difficult emotion. Why??? Because something will always rain on the parade-- thoughts along the lines of "I shouldn't feel so good" or "this happy state is only temporary." And yet, joy is not exclusive of other emotions. Simple joy is at the heart of your very existence underneath the layers of other feelings, thoughts, and stories.
Our sages teach us that "the greatest happiness in the world is the resolution of doubts" (Metzudas David, Mishlei 15:30). When we are pulled in opposite directions by our feelings, thoughts, environment, or culture, life can be filled with doubts and confusion. When we provide a pause to the cognitive brain and disconnect from the sensory channels through practicing Yoga Nidra, we can connect to the source of consciousness where polarities and doubts dissolve into the bliss of simple unified being.
This healing practice of Yoga Nidra for deep rest is created in the spirit of the upcoming Jewish holiday, Purim, and coincides with the Spring Equinox. By embracing life's paradoxes and polarities with curiosity and acceptance, this Yoga Nidra journey carries you towards integrating your polarities, trusting in the inherent goodness of the universe, and celebrating our interconnected experience.
Episode summary:
Intro

Awareness of polarities: Experience and integrate opposite feelings to train yourself to RESPOND instead of REACTING to prompting stimuli

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
Feeling safe is an inside job. By guiding you into a state of deep relaxation between sleep and wakefulness, this Yoga Nidra practice takes you on an immersive journey toward inner safety and benevolent resourcing.
You will be guided through body scanning, breathing techniques, and restorative visualizations designed to edit unconscious patterns and limiting beliefs positively. This serves to cultivate a sense of ease and resourcefulness from within, regardless of external circumstances.
Navigating through an ecosystem of visualization, sensation, emotions, thoughts, imagination, and memories invites positive changes in our unconscious patterns. This practice empowers you towards deep tranquility, meeting your internal resources in a magnificent visual palace, and benefiting both physical and mental well-being.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
As we approach the end of 2023, these are the shortest and darkest days of the year in the northern hemisphere. If you're feeling the need for some warmth, encouragement, and light at this time, this is the practice for you.
This practice is created to nurture the fire element to generate warmth and bring out your inner light. By traversing the layers of consciousness through yoga nidra, you can progressively quiet the analytical mind and arrive at a place of stillness and unconscious wisdom. Here your true light is found. This light has always been there and can never be extinguished, no matter how much debris has piled over it. In this practice, you are invited to begin clearing away through the cognitive and emotional debris to make space for your light to glow more radiantly.
