[@natajitrcindhuchao898]

My inner refuge is a place of purity from peacefulness, a place of deep wisdom and awareness, and a light of compassion and equanimity. 🤍

[@estherharris5307]

@allyboothroyd Richard Miller Ashraya? What were the sankalpas?

[@michellemalakouna4643]

It's hot in the UK, so my mind takes me to a favourite, deserted beach in Northern Greece. I haven't been there irl for ten years! Amazing to find how much of it I can access through memory alone. Thank you xxx

[@maryg.7880]

This recording is getting me through the recovery of an eye surgery. Whenever I can’t cope, I turn this on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@ReflectionsOfAir]

Thank you for such a beautiful experience! ✨🙏 This was my first time creating an inner refuge. It was in a crystal cave behind a massive waterfall. The sunlight was shining through the water like a massive stained glass window. The ground was carpeted with beautiful moss. There were healing stones everywhere for me to sit and lay on. A place to heal, rejuvenate, and find peace. Also to commune with my higher self and guides. 💖💖💖

[@cherish_yuke]

Beautiful! ❤

[@SarovaraYoga]

That sounds magnificent and so very healing. I just love hearing what types of places are created. Thank you for sharing with me!!! 🙏💜

[@jenstewart1461]

Thank you❤ This was very calming and helpful. I'm working on getting rid of anxiety and living a better life. That was wonderful.

[@sarahbradford566]

Wow - that was SOOO beautiful I didn't want to leave! My refuge was a very big, white comfortable bed with lots of books, notebooks, pencils.... (the evening is when I feel safest and do journaling, reading etc in bed) But my bed was in a garden under a huge tree with the sun shining through the rustling leaves, birds singing, and there was a babbling stream a few metres away. A wooden table and bench nearby with coffee and cake (coffee addict I'm afraid - it really comforts me in the otherwise panicky mornings)......and the smell of wild garlic (from happy childhood memories of walking in the woods with my grandparents). What more could a girl want??!! 😀 Thank you so much sweet Ally! X🙏🧡

[@KCM1200]

Thank you Ally. I pictured swimming and floating in Tampa Bay where I’m from, tasting the salt water on my tongue and watching the dolphins dance in the waves.

[@ewilliamsish]

Thank you Ally. We are days away from likely having to say goodbye to one of our much loved, but very unwell, cats. I was seeking peace for the challenge ahead, when she came to join me, lying on my chest, both of us unaware of where this would take us. It was a perfect moment as you led us to a safe place together. I'm not sure that the universe really cares enough about us to send us this kind of message, but I do believe in people, kindness and generosity. Thank you so much 🐾

[@lesleyvince7348]

Ally thank you 🙏I have loved many of your yoga Indra recordings, but this was the one I needed today, so much so I had a few tears. ❤

[@phoenixgirl11]

Thank you Ally. It was wonderful to imagine being in this beautiful place listening to a waterfall with my love ones and feeling the presence of God all around me. Much love🙏❤️

[@SarovaraYoga]

Wonderful! I love hearing some of the details of your refuge, beautiful. You are so very welcome, thanks for joining me today 💜🙏

[@alexandrav558]

Ally, cold structured words cannot express the deep intergalactic healing and connection to the Universe that occur when I practise Yoga Nidra with you. I had been obsessing about accumulating theoretical knowledge about philosophy of Yoga, buddism, Hinduism, discovering Eastern wisdom just recently and feeling "late for the party" (I'm a Westernen); jumping between Hatha yoga, Ashtanga, vinyasa, not sure what I should focus on...Your practice allowed me to calm down, quiet down, digest everything slowly and let all the nutrients sink in slowly. Now I don't feel I'm late anymore. Less is more. Heartfelt thank you. May you be happy, peaceful and blissful.

[@centeredwithin]

You are an angel on earth Ally. Thank you for sharing your gifts so generously! (My inner refuge today is a deluxe tropical swimming hole in the jungle.) ✨💖🙏🏻

[@SarovaraYoga]

Wow, that sounds so beautiful and serene. Love love love it. Thanks for joining me today 💜🙏

[@PenLee32]

Ally, Im so grateful for your voice and guidance. I’m going to use a sea turtle postage stamp to send a letter to Costa Rica roomie who saw turtles scurry to the sea while we were on retreat with you. Sending peace. Jen Pen

[@SarovaraYoga]

Awe, I love that so very much!!!! You are one thoughtful being Jen Pen. I love that about you. 💜🙏

[@wenzthebell]

I felt the golden light of my being practicing this. It’s been a while. So thank you 🙏

[@SarovaraYoga]

That's wonderful to hear. So healing. You are so very welcome, thanks for joining me today 💜🙏

[@rileydunbar6681]

Thank you Ally! My Inner refuge suprised me because I thought it be a beach or somewhere hot, but what came up was me sitting inside near a fireplace with a hot drink in hand and watching snow slowly falling from the sky. I was also in a log cabin in the mountains! So cool to find out what your most peaceful safe place is

[@danijoyyoga5473]

I am already recommending your nidras constantly to everyone 🙏 I’m about to recommend this one to everyone on my list ✨ It is by far, my favorite, which is saying a lot!

[@KathleenLamb1226]

This is a new favorite! I love the inner refuge meditation! ❤

Thank you this has really got me through a difficult time ❤🙏❤

[@STillett81]

Thank you for guiding me towards peace and inner harmony. I have been living with chronic pain that brings me to fear and a negative mental spiral. Yoga nidra helps bring me balance. It teaches me how to connect, listen and heal. Thank you for being my mentor and guide on my journey. Namaste.

[@charlottefrizby5865]

Ally, I want to thank you 🙏 so much for this lifesaving practice. I have cfs and suffer from breathing difficulties. This really slows my respiratory and heart rate down when nothing else does. It brings me back to me. Your kindness and groundedness shines through your voice to calm and restore my being 🥰 Namaste

Thank you Ally. These are times when we all need an inner refuge. Just think - if everyone had an inner refuge, how different the world would be. With much gratitude.

[@judyjimenez8073]

Thank you so much Ally ! 🙏🏽💕✨

[@janebrannan717]

Namaste, Janeyb,Module 3. I really needed a YN today, I’ve had a very busy holiday and grateful to get back to my practice! I must have fallen asleep, I didn’t hear about the refuge! 😅

[@cherish_yuke]

Thank you for creating such a beautiful yoga nidra, Ally! 🙏🏻💐 I loved the array of choices you gave for inner resources. My inner resource appeared with my maternal grandmother and I sitting in a Japanese garden. A small Buddha statue stood in the middle of the garden surrounded by wildflowers. I could smell a hint of lavender occasionally fill the air. The taste of a delightful tea touched my lips and tongue. When my eyes met with the eyes of my grandmother, I sensed our heart’s smiling. No words were needed. As our presence grew, so did love grow. I sensed more beings around me and looked behind me. To my delight, I saw all the animals that have transpired sitting with us. Here we were, sitting together as love. It was beautiful. Serene. Tranquil. And incredibly heartwarming. Thank you again, Ally. 🙏🏻🌻 I wish you well.

[@cherish_yuke]

Thank you so much, Ally! 🙏🏻💐 I am looking forward to listening and then writing afterwards to let you about my inner refuge.

[@SarovaraYoga]

Wonderful Cherish! Always love seeing you in the comments! 💜

[@cherylsmithwinberry7705]

Another beautiful practice. So much gratitude for your generosity, skill and compassion in creating and sharing these practices. I am recommending this practice, and your KZbin channel, to my clients in my Clinical Psychology practice. This template for creating an inner refuge is so beneficial to our mental health. My space was warm, cozy, peaceful. I was in the company of my loving husband and our car, surrounded by the sights and feels of the home where we raised our family and continue to make memories. Bread was baking in the oven while I was wrapped in a blanket on my favorite couch, steamy cup of coffee in hand, gazing out the window.m, listening to the fire crackle. For this moment, the world is at peace ❤️🙏🏽❤️

[@skippearson1176]

Thank you Ally for my very first Yoga Nidra Refuge. It was totally incredible. I loved where it took me to my happy place,the beach.🏖️My place of, peace, calm,& the deepest serenity. Namaste 🧘🏾‍♂️

[@c.k.1958]

Thank you Ally 🤍🌼🌸

[@MaitriHaven]

Oh dear, even though I’ve been attuning to the wholesome states you shared,I never have ever commented even once… But now, I’m here to let you know the fact that it’s as if your whole being was synchronized for these meditative expression and outflowing of guidance… And I am dearly grateful for this And you know, I’ve been aligning myself to your meditation videos in addition to the yoga nidra you’re well known for. And I assure you that they are all quite helpful. (Just tuned into the meta meditation you shared 5 years ago). The guiding voice, the technique embraced by the ambience from soothing lake was all ethereally magnificent, perfect for a sitting pose for those short breaks of the daily quest.

[@Skiteeel1]

Just on time for my daily practice, so restful and inspiring 🤞🏼

[@SarovaraYoga]

Wonderful. So glad it was restful and inspiring for you. Thanks for joining me today 💜🙏

So excited for this. I've been using your other two inner refuge meditations very frequently since I saw your recent video aimed at therapists.

Oh I'm so glad to hear it! Yes, this is a very powerful technique for sure. 💜🙏

What are the odds that you were called to create and provide this during another heavy burnout. I had to leave class to find a solace. And there you were. Thank you so very much for helping me to reconnect and restore today--and any day, Ally!!!!!

[@bluegeraniol2626]

I've been following you for years, and this was one of my favourites. Thank you very much. I would love to see more practices like this one, where yoga nidra is used both for meditation and self growth purposes!

Thanks Ally. That was really wonderful. I listened to all three of your inner refuge yoga nidras this week: the one in the beginning yoga nidra series, the one you referenced to in the first intermediate workshop, and this one. They are all very different. Your description in this one of the somatic feelings was incredibly accurate. I had to replay that section so i could add them to the notes i made in the beginners workshop on what somatic feeling i have in my inner refuge . I look forward to joining you again this Friday..

Yes, there are plenty. I think if you search my name and "full length yoga nidra" hopefully some of those ones with all of the koshas will appear for you. There are dozens!

Hey Ally, thank you for this - I wonder if there's a technique for if we are transported somewhere that parts of us find alarming, when visiting our inner refuge 🤣I was transported to a place that I spent with a former partner, & I managed to hold myself here and soak in all of the nourishing things about it - including their presence, but part of me in the vulnerable deep state found this unsafe & it took some tending to... Any advice welcome! Perhaps this was me meeting an edge 😅 lots of love and gratitude to you x

I hope this reaches you because I think someone is using your YT name and I don't know how else to reach you! Please look into this! I find it very disturbing. Thank you for all you do 🙏

The picture that the person uses is yours and the channel also carries your name Ally Boothroyd, but when I clicked on it it stated "member since 16 july 2024" than I knew for sure it was not you. I hope you can straighten things out ☺️
