New Moon Yoga Nidra: Nurture Your Hopes & Dreams (40 mins)

Na’aleh Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

This Yoga Nidra episode welcomes the new moon of the month of Nisan in the Hebrew lunar calendar, which carries the energy of nurturing beginnings and growth.

In connecting this new moon phase, we concentrate on nurturing your hopes and dreams through intention setting, (called Kavanah in Hebrew or Sankalpa in Sanskrit), which is the heart of the Yoga Nidra practice. By planting your intention at the beginning of practice and harvesting it at the end, you can alter deep unconscious patterns, steering your life in the direction of your choosing.

As you follow this Yoga Nidra journey, you'll explore various states of consciousness from body to breath, mind, deep wisdom intelligence, and soul.

Episode summary:

Intro

Preparation: Lie down on your back with all the supports you need. You may use a light blanket, pillow, eye mask, or bolster under your knees if you wish.

Intention Setting: Setting intentions for today’s practice...

Rotation of Consciousness: A comprehensive body scan

Breath Awareness: Conscious breathing practice

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 resonate

Externalization: Returning back to the ordinary waking state and take your yoga nidra practice with you
