Yoga Nidra for Healing Your Body and Mind with Self Love | Restful Sleep

Welcome to Healing Your Body and Mind with Yoga Nidra, a self-love practice. Join me, Ayla Nova, as we embark on a journey of deep relaxation and radical self-acceptance.
In this session, we'll tap into the healing powers of yoga nidra, a meditative practice that guides you into a state of conscious deep sleep, promoting mental clarity, physical relaxation, and spiritual growth. Experience the gentle embrace of loving-kindness, as we explore the realms of alpha and theta brainwaves, fostering a state of profound rest and rejuvenation.
🌟 "Meditation practice isn't about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It's about befriending who we are already." - Pema Chödrön

Return to this session whenever you feel the need to reaffirm your boundaries or seek solace in your personal space of freedom. Incorporate it into your self-care routine to consistently nurture your mind and spirit.
🌌 Setting up for the practice:
Find a comfortable space free of distractions
Lie down in Shavasana with your spine aligned
Relax your body, from your forehead to your toes

Whether it's "I am present," "I am empowered," or a simple "I am," let this affirmation guide your practice.

Create a safe space for you to practice
Embrace each sensation without attachment
Allow yourself to be in the present moment

@@AylaNovaNidraThis is so sweet 🥹 I have come a long way in just 3 weeks but have fallen out of yoga nidra practice, and this was a great reminder to pick it back up. My dad passed away 4 years ago, and we practiced yoga nidra together for years beforehand. I had not picked it back up since coming across your spotify, but want to say you have been a lovely reintroduction to the practice. Thank YOU for being here and for the kind words. 🫶🏻

Hope you're doing well Lillian, super grateful to have you practicing with me. My heart goes out to you. Sounds like your dad was pretty damn cool if he was practicing Yoga Nidra with you. Sending love! Thank you for being 🖤

[@shumrickclaire2967]

I really like the shorter ones… I’ve just started my nidra journey but I’ve found 25-30 mins is where I want to tap out. Usually I do let myself tap out, which I’m sure you wouldn’t suggest.. but when I see nidra with 40-50 minutes, that seems much more doable then an hour :) love it thank you!

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad my shorter nidra sessions are helping you on your journey. I appreciate you taking the time to try something a little longer! 🖤🖤🖤
