This 30 minute live nidra was recorded during one of my yoga classes. It is an invitation to let go of all things that don't serve us any longer, just like the trees let go of their leaves to prepare for winter season. It is also an invitation to tune in with the energy of autumn, taking a walk in a beautiful forest, connecting with the wisdom of the trees and the silence of nature.
This Nidra talks of the earth bringing power, compassion and warmth into the spaces of the belly and pelvis and these qualities are passed on to what we create. There is a rotation that returns again and again to the pelvis and the belly and offers the listener the chance to connect to the strength and gentleness of this space.
For anyone who's familiar with my research, a 17 minute, trauma-sensitive yoga nidra on dandelions and murmurations, recorded at Lower Shaw Community Farm
Recorded live in class around the time of the Spring Equinox, this practice includes an invitation to experience the breath like a sunrise and a sunset.
An invitation to consider the intense vitality and transformation hidden away in moments of apparent stillness - the body at rest, a tree in winter, the pause at the end of the exhale, the darkness just before the dawn.
