This yoga nidra is designed to help you connect with your mind. There is little effort involved. Simply find a comfortable position and settle in. In this practice, you massage the mind with intentional awareness allowing you to notice where you store stress and tension.

I hope this practice finds you when you need it most! An amazing way to calm the mind and learn about your brain all at once. I snuck in a little physiologically sigh exercise too! Enjoy! 🖤✨

[@geoffplesa8822]

Absolutely fabulous. Impeccably articulate, calm, gentle delivery enveloping the listener in soothing awareness. Voice like a restorative balm for ailing spirits. Integration of anatomy and neuroscience makes this episode incredibly enriching. Thank you for all you do🙏

[@AylaNovaNidra]

So happy you enjoyed the episode! Your feedback keeps me motivated to create more content. Thank you for being here.🖤✨

[@melissaharstad1461]

yoga nidra +huberman lab= brilliant! I love it thank you!!! genius in my opinion!😊

[@jefflynch]

I don't know how you do it, through practice and/or intuition, but thank you for sharing your incredible gift, @AylaNova. I really enjoyed observing the components of our mind, including the ones responsible for those very observations. That tautological sense of awareness was unexpectedly calming. I'd encourage you to do more like this, but you seem to know just where to explore next😉

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience Jeff! Historically, yoga nidra was also used to aid students in learn texts and languages. I was inspired to do the same with this practice. Knowing our thoughts and actions are influenced by different parts of the brain can be empowering, in my opinion. Happy you enjoyed it! 🖤✨

Thanks for this video. Thanks for being of service to us all. Love you.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you for your support. @larryholliday8412 i appreciate you 🖤✨🙏

[@eva-w]

I really enjoyed this practice. It was incredibly relaxing, I went with the simple sankalpa "Ich bin ruhig und entspannt (I'm calm and relaxed)" It stayed with me for the whole session. Right now, an hour later, I'm feeling calm, positive and grateful. Thank you. I also liked the little brain anatomy lesson : )

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Amazing! Thank you Eva 🖤✨ What a beautiful sankalpa. I am so grateful it remained with you. Such a gift.

[@CarmiAlvarez-Smith-lv9is]

Thank you Ayla from the bottom of my heart! It was one of the most embodying experiences! You have a unique style and gift.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you, Elena! It is so wonderful to have you here and I am grateful you landed on this particular nidra.🖤🙏✨

[@Friesie1]

I enjoyed this practice, though I haven't yet noticed any particular blocks connected with the different parts of my brain. I also appreciate the length because I don't always have time to incorporate a full hour. I wonder if you could offer a little more quiet space for saying our sankalpa? It's challenging for me to think it 3 times if I also hear your voice at the same time. It feels like it gets muddled and less clear and focused.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Thank you so much for reaching out and for your feedback. I hope you enjoy the future practices. 🖤🙏✨ rest well, be well

[@bodurango]

Really nice Ayla. I liked the brain tour. It was very interesting and unique. Thanks for your scientific perspective. I've never run across a meditation like this one. it helped me get in touch with the 85 billion neurons that keep me alive.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

[@sylviaoesterwinter8858]

Is this more yoga nidra, yin, NSDR, body scan or hypnosis?

[@AylaNovaNidra]

this is a merge of yoga nidra, irest and nsdr. 🙏

[@courtneymiller2768]

This was amazing!! Who did you study under to learn this?

[@AylaNovaNidra]

I have studied through a number of teachers. The lineages are that of Traditional Tantra (not to be confused with Neo Tantra), Bihar Yoga Nidra through the School of Sankalpa, and iRest. A lot of different sources. 🖤✨

[@courtneymiller2768]

@@AylaNovaNidra Thank you! Do you think you’ll ever run your own teacher training?

[@AylaNovaNidra]

@@courtneymiller2768 I would love to and I have some plans in the works for online courses to get started.

When I got to the whole brain part everything went a bright whitish kind of blue in my head. Or I went to a bright whitish kind of blue place. Not sure which.

[@AylaNovaNidra]

Whoa! I love hearing your experience 🖤✨ So special to have such a colourful and vibrant moment.

[@AylaNovaNidra]
