NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...
This week's Yoga Nidra practice is dedicated to the first 9 days of Av and the day of Tisha b'Av, a time for reflection, accountability, hope, and renewal. The 9th of Av is a day for the commemoration of the ancient Temple, the Beit Hamikdash, of which today only the Western Wall remains.
The Temple symbolizes the connection with the Divine Source Consciousness, which is reflected in the body. The human body is like a moving, living temple through which life serves. The Temple is a place of compassion, connection, creativity, and blessings.
This practice of Yoga Nidra invites you to turn attention inward in safe, relaxing conditions where you can pay attention to your inner world and reconnect with your spiritual self. During this session, we'll explore the sacred architecture of your physical form, mirrored by the architecture of the ancient Tabernacle (the movable Temple). Because YOU are a holy, moving, living temple. You deserve to care for yourself and the body you inhabit. By tuning in and paying attention, you can create yourself into a home of connectedness, abundant blessings, and good deeds.
So, lie back, relax, and allow my voice to guide you. Remember, you can always return to this practice whenever you need a moment of calm and connection. Thank you for joining me, and don't forget to subscribe, share, and leave a comment. Your support means the world to me!
Sending you all my love and best wishes. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay connected. Until next time!
