EP 5: Yoga Nidra [Resting in a Western Culture] - a podcast by Kat D James

from 2023-06-28T21:00

:: ::

In this yoga nidra meditation, you will be guided through a "Lifting & Dropping the Limbs" practice, where your body will lift a limb several inches above the ground and hold for a few moments while breathing through sensation to safely release stored emotions, energy, and stress.


*meditation begins promptly*


Welcome to this guided Yoga Nidra, the companion meditation to EP 1 & 2, as well as your opportunity to experience this ancient practice & listen as often as you like (I encourage four sessions each week, but even once a week is highly profound and restorative).



BE SMART! Do not listen while driving, or while operating heavy machinery.

Before you begin, you are ensuring that you have spoken to your doctor or other health care provider to confirm that you are healthy and able to participate in this deep sleep meditation practice.




TO PRACTICE:



  • lay flat on your back, without propping up the head (unless medically necessary)

  • option to place rolled towel/blanket under the knees for additional support and to reduce low-back pain

  • keep a blanket nearby or place one over your torso for warmth (body temperature drops during deep mediation)

  • resist the urge to move or fidget, but make any adjustments necessary and then return to stillness promptly

  • ask family members and animal companions to keep quiet and not disturb you for the entire duration of this meditation

  • enjoy! and please leave a comment, feedback or a testimonial if you feel prompted >^.^<




Future episodes offering guided Yoga Nidra will be subscription only, enjoy this complimentary full length meditation.
