It is who you are at your highest potential.

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, “It 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
