I discovered this last year as a way to get through cancer diagnosis, treatment, and scans and the associated anxiety attacks and fear. Yoga nidra has a profound effect on your mindset and outlook, particularly when ultra stressed. I’m in full recovery now, but come back to nidra as a way of reconnecting. You and Tanis Fishman here on KZbin have helped me know myself. I recommend your meditations to anyone going through tough times. This is a magical tool for healing and wellbeing. Namaste

[@cbarnette56]

I myself breast cancer and this also helps me with my anxiety regarding scans and bloodwork. God bless you in your recovery ❤❤❤❤

[@XxEPICxNESSxX]

I am 22 years old from the Bahamas, and I can’t thank you enough. Andrew Huberman put me onto NSDR but i found your channel and this is the longest session i’ve done. the 40 mins flew by and it was an incredible feeling. I suffer from cluster headaches and I believe through practicing yoga nidra i can require my nervous system and control the outbreaks.

[@maneki9neko]

Yes. I found yoga nidra through Huberman as well. Good stuff.

Your yoga nidra sessions have helped me with my recovery from long COVID. Thank you so much!

[@aubreestarr6617]

Also psilocybin mushrooms can help cluster headaches, I'm grateful I found ally- what a amazing soothing voice!

[@cjanderson9]

Ally, I am a 77-year-old woman who had an accident earlier this year. I dislocated my shoulder and as a result of that, I had nerve damage all the way down to my fingers. After the shoulder dislocation, I fell and fractured my kneecap and had to have, a replacement kneecap. I have been using your video to call my nerves and go to sleep. It is wonderful! Both of my injuries were on the right side of my body and I so appreciate the way you work through the right side of your body and then through the left side of your bodyto calm the nerves. Helping me immensely in my recovery. Thank you so much.

[@lucianapirk]

What I experience with this practice is one of the best sensations I’ve ever had in my whole entire life. Thank you 💖💖

so soothing and calming and rejuvenated

[@markumark1]

💛 I normally only listen to voice only or subdued nature sounds, but these tones are pleasant. Still, I think they could be a little quieter, or your voice a little louder. 💛

[@inheatherwords]

Restored. I think this was my favorite session with you so far. I’ve noticed, in general, the background sounds make a difference for me.

[@MindYourMindful]

This was so nourishing after a sleepless night. Feeling a sense of rejuvenation I didn't think could be achieved today,

[@DebiBoushey]

I’m so happy to have found your recordings! I’ve been meditating since 1978 and your style guides me deep into my body. I feel energized, focused and clear now! I’ve also been using your deep sleep recordings…. I’m in the beginning phase of a divorce and my stomach has been tied in knots so these recordings have been a gift from the Universe, thank you!

[@juliahenry1845]

Thank you. This is absolutely lovely! I am a covid long hauler. 10 months since getting sick, and recovering. This is immensely helpful. I will share and be following your channel and doing more! 🙏

Thank you Ally for your yoga nidra videos. They help me a lot with medical related fatigue and when I haven’t slept well and when my nervous system is out of whack. I also love how soothing your voice is ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lizwaddingtondruyoga2855]

Wow I really became hypersensitive to sensations today with the help of the chimes. Now in module 10 & simmering in practices as I recover & heal from an operation. Feeling loved & deeply rested thank u 🙏

[@clouddreamer4780]

All I can say is that I am utterly grateful for this recording as it keeps me going in a taxing time of fatigue and insomnia... Bless you. 🙏Namaste

[@valeriemaguire401]

This is one of the most beautiful yoga nidras ever!! You are so gifted at this! Your voice is hypnotic and so relaxing. Huge gratitude for that incredibly peaceful experience.🙏💕

[@susanmartin4612]

2.35pm I finished this practice about half an hour ago but only just surfacing from my nest …. That’s how relaxing it is? Lots of energetic moving and shifting too. Your voice and the sound chimes are a marriage made in heaven. A perfect, harmonious blend. Continued loved and gratitude 🙏🏻 💖🌻

[@embodiedpsychology325]

I love this practice. Each time the chimes sound I feel my body drop further and also could sense the prana flowing around. I did this early morning. How special. Thank you Ally

[@susanmartin4612]

2.41om thank you, Ally 💕 Just practised this again. The alternate body breathing is gorgeous and extremely powerful. I feel very relaxed after this and at same time I know energy that wants to move is stirring gently. Feeling more deeply calm and present. A thousand thanks. You’re amazing 💗😚🌹

[@catherinejouffroy2446]

[@BobMcGowan-NotTheChairCircle]

Hello. I have just started my day with this meditation after a disturbed night. I now feel fully restored and ready to face the outside world. I look forward to sampling your other guided meditations. Thank you so much.

[@clarestephen5488]

Monday 22/08/22 1854. I'm feeling very peaceful ,balanced and at ease following this practice. What luxury to be able to do two longer Yoga Nidra practices today! I feel this could become a habit....." Habits are human nature -why not create some that will mint gold " ( Hafiz). I loved the psychic nadi shodhana practice which came very naturally after the rotation of consciousness ,sensing into the right and the left hemisphere's of the body. I actually felt my toes disappear and merge into the pranic field of awareness emanating around my body...my body felt suspended in awareness! Awesome ! Thanks again Ally. Namaste! 🙏

[@shelaghbooth332]

Oh my, I didn't want this to end! The combination of your soothing voice Ally and the chimes was just so relaxing. Also benefited from imagining the various things at the end eg the blue butterfly etc. Thankyou so much 💙 😊

[@bernadetteculhane]

This was lovely, as usual. I practiced at 8:30am. I was able to stay with your voice until I got to the left foot, then I was out for the count and woke up just as it was ending. Thank-you.

[@stevenlund2803]

[@sleepanddeeprest]

Perfect short Nidra before bed tonight. I loved the visualizations Ally. They were just perfect. Namaste.

[@taralee6005]

Wow (.) - still coming too. Words. One of favourite practices. I am at the threshold of my stress, and despite it taking a long time to settle...I got there. I am very receptive to sound and vibration (and it was intense at some spots), I felt that even after awakening my eyes seem to continue to vibrate. LOVED the visualization, the breath work. Oh ya...it was a sweet spot to be "IN". Namaste :)

[@beajauregui]

This is amazing. I have listened to this numerous times before and found it very helpful. This time I listened to it while feeling the intensity of a serious chest and head cold with lots of congestion, and stress about it because I have to fly on a plane and I’m afraid of the pain of the pressure change. My sankalpa was I am resting deeply and healing myself, and over the course of this practice, I could literally feel the infection in my sinuses subsiding I could feel my body healing itself, and even though it is the middle of the night, and I really want to sleep. I am feeling surprisingly energized and closer to full health. This has really show me my body’s own healing potential, in a shockingly short amount of time. I am truly amazed, I have never experienced anything like this before. I have been practising yoga Nidra for a couple of years now, and I really believe in it, and I will continue to do so. Thank you so much for this one, it is wondrous

[@RosalieYoga]

Thank you, Ally! Trying this one in the afternoon ✨

[@anettp2rna318]

Thank you! I loved it so much - especially the breathing from toes to the crown, alternating sides. It really balanced my system 🤎

[@nataliescialo5730]

Thank you Ally This was beautiful. I felt much softer in my embodiment today and experiencing more nuanced feelings. It was great to be so deeply relaxed, in a hypnogogic space and be simultaneously aware. It feels like progression in the skill of yoga nidra today. Namaste ❤

Namaste Ally, Module 3 -10.8.2023- 06:15am This is one of my favorites now. The way you guided and the sankalpa opened up something for me. Thank you 🙏 May you have a wonderful day.

[@cherylsmithwinberry7705]

I am so enjoying exploring each of your meditations. This one drew my attention today. It is truly a balm for any stress my nervous system may be holding. The chimes were hypnotic. I really appreciated the experience of moving awareness between the two sides of my body, guided by the rhythms of breath. At some point, the experience of melting into awareness, being awareness itself, became all encompassing. Profoundly peaceful to take refuge in this “true self.” Your deep work in this practice, and joy-skill sharing with us is a blessing. Namaste Ally 🙏🏽

[@kaceofbaseable]

I'm becoming more attuned to the buzzing sensation now that I am understanding the dimensions of pranamayakosha. Loved the alternate side body breathing!I also resonate with the "hygiene" for your Nervous System, as I do Nidras most mornings and it has become part of my routine. Thank you for guiding me into another beautiful day ✨🙏✨

[@alexandrachaffanjon2226]

Thank you Ally! I loved this nidra. The opposite hemisphere exercise is always so so calming and satisfying. 🙏🤍

I have long covid and did too much yesterday but after this, while I'm still tired, I feel much more rested and peaceful! Still trying to put it in daily routine. I fell asleep while doing it and briefly heard myself snoring for the first time!

I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with myself today and this has helped tremendously. Thank you, Ally 🪷

[@dmbingley9642]

After being away from daily practice for a few days due to some stressful life events, I was grateful for this recording and fell into deep relaxation. I experienced dreamlike imagery in flashes throughout, including an image of warm tea dripping on my right hand and I could feel the warmth travel down my palm and through my fingers. Mid-way through, a full-body twitch just about lifted me off the floor but despite the intense jolt I remained relaxed. 08/08/22

[@restfulstillness2274]

Namaste! 🙏 I practiced around 6 P.M. on October 11, 2023. That was a beautiful practice. It was exactly what I needed at all levels. I could hear myself snore at certain points, and I felt rested in the middle of the body scans. I had some interesting visuals of my body at the end of the practice that felt sort of like how my dreams that lead to déjà vu feel. I found it very intriguing as it's the first time it has happened to me in a yoga nidra.

Oh Ally , I can't put into words how just how much I love your yoga nidras ❤️ I listen almost every day to your calming voice , and often I have stress within my family and you just take my mind away and make me forget everything for a little while, and also I feel a sense of happiness as well as calm when listening to you ,❤️ thank you for all you do 😊 i love when we bring the mind to certain parts of the body , I do get a really strong feeling in my hands though, strong tingling and buzzing ( do you know why this happens Ally ? ) , and I do find that feeling hard to experience, Its is so strong , I don't know if it's because I suffer with cold hands ? But I don't know why it's so strong and makes me go 😬 and always slightly stronger in my right hand , I get it in my toes as well but not as strong , you are such a big part of my life and you are my sense of calm , and sending you lots of love ❤ x
