yoga nidra: feeling our experiences
A 40-minute practice that includes a sense inquiry into two opposing experiences, one challenging and one pleasant and then an inspection of this “I” or me that experiences and evaluates.
yoga nidra: deep rest
Some of the students in the class were sick, others were tired, but they all agreed that a deeply restful practice was in order. Afterward, there was a request for the recording to be posted on the website for repeated listening. Here it is!
yoga nidra: this magical mystery
Gently and thoroughly exploring a difficult emotion, sensing the “me” who is aware of and distinct from the emotion, then sensing that which seems to be aware of me, and ultimately resting as that which just is.
yoga nidra: unchangingness
A practice of alternating between the specificity of sensation and the globality of sensing. In particular the sensation of “me” is explored and is experienced as simply another changing phenomena against the backdrop of steady unchangingness.
yoga nidra: the clear sky of awareness
The practice alternates between sensing the “contents” of our human experience, sensing the container in which all the contents are bubbling up, and pure sensing. Or we might say, sensing the “clouds,” sensing the clear sky behind them and simply sensing, beyond clouds and sky.
yoga nidra: self-compassion
This quiet and soothing 35-minute practice focuses on self-nurturance and interweaves the Ho’oponopono phrases for reconciliation and forgiveness. A steady stream of traffic punctuated by the occasional honk of an impatient driver and the soft snoring of a non-virtual participant provide background music.
yoga nidra: flowing with the current of life
During this 38-minute practice of yoga nidra, we explore sensations of body and energy. Then we settle back, allowing ourselves to simply be carried by the current of life.
yoga nidra: on being here
We begin our practice here. Here, where we have always been. Here, where we will remain. Here, where we sense body, breath, emotions and thoughts. Here, where we rest.
yoga nidra: living the mystery
Using the five elements as a frame, we explore sensorially the contradictions of life. How is it that we can feel simultaneously dense and diaphanous? Spacious and solid? Irritable and uplifted? Infinite and defined? What a mystery it is.
yoga nidra: watching the show
Watching the show of our lives as if it is being performed on a grand stage, we alternate between identifying with the various characters playing their roles and resting as wide open availability; the simultaneity of observing and acting,being both engaged and detached.
