​‪@JackieOMyoga‬ Summary: In this episode of 'Serenade to the Soul', host Jackie OM guides listeners through a Yoga Nidra practice, emphasizing relaxation, self-awareness, and connection with one's inner self and community. The session includes a focus on the body, breath, and emotional states, culminating in a visualization of connection with a 'soul tribe'. How To Prepare For Practice: Yoga Nidra can be practiced at any time of day when you need the reset - in the morning to set the tone of your day, midday to realign, or in the evening to fall asleep. You are encouraged to set up a space where you can comfortably lie on your back as if you're going to sleep. Perhaps a bolster or pillow underneath your knees, a blanket to cover your body, and an eye mask or towel to minimize your intake of light. Get cozy and comfy - ANYONE CAN DO THIS practice! What is Yoga Nidra? NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) is the scientific term for Yoga Nidra, the ancient art of bringing the body and the mind to the state of deep rest, relaxation and regeneration. During Yoga Nidra, you are not asleep, but submerged into the sweet state between sleep and wakefulness where the brain enters theta waves. In theta, transformation and healing occurs from beyond the mind rather than through the mind gifting us with the ability to rewire the brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency. Studies show that a single session of Yoga Nidra equates to three hours of restorative sleep improving working memory, creativity, and executive function, as well as reducing stress hormones and increasing the scores of wellbeing and joyfulness. Takeaways: Yoga Nidra allows the body to receive meditation messages. Creating a comfortable space is essential for relaxation. Sankalpa is a positive affirmation to counter limiting beliefs. The practice involves connecting with different layers of the body. Visualization helps in understanding emotions and connections. The soul tribe represents a supportive community. Breath is a powerful tool for grounding and alignment. The practice encourages self-acceptance and love. Returning to a state of protection and purity is always possible. The session concludes with a reminder of one's divine potential. titles Chapters: Introduction to Yoga Nidra Practice Beginning the Meditation Journey Understanding Sankalpa: Your Heart's Desire Exploring the Anumayya Kosha: Physical Body Awareness Connecting with the Pranamaya Kosha: Energy and Breath Navigating the Mahānāmaye Kosha: Mind and Emotions Creating a Protective Space Exploring Fear and Love Visualization and Connection Connecting with Your Soul Tribe #SerenadetotheSoul #JackieOM #YogaNidra #Mindfulness #innerpeace #YogaNidra #guidedsleep #relaxation #quantum #self-discovery #breathwork #visualization #heart #emotionalhealingjourney #wellness #spiritualgrowth #stressrelief #anxietyrelief #nervoussystemreset #yogicsleep #restorativesleep #focus _______ Yoga Nidra, meditation, wellness, mindfulness, guided practice, relaxation, self-discovery, inner peace, emotional healing, spiritual growth summary
