This practice is to rest our attention into the centre of our vulnerability with a tender appreciation for the tools of self-care when pain and suffering are present. Learning new techniques to teach ourselves about our own humanity. This path is raw, intimate and honest. Everything is Spirit, however what is between you and feeling free, peaceful and serene becomes the Teacher. We are Spiritual beings having a human experience, as well as we are Human Beings having a Spiritual experience. This experience is our ability to touch Faith trusting yourself to discover the deepest truth you can entrust in. A vast loving awareness big enough to hold all suffering. See your pain and suffering through the lens of this timeless expression of Grace within you, around you, as you. Enjoy the meditation.

This Yoga Nidra is from Kamini Desai, PHD Yoga Nidra; The Art of Transformational Sleep When to practice: Whenever you can. In the morning as soon as you get up, either put headphones on if you share the room with someone or move to a room where you can practice undisturbed. You can practice in the late afternoon around when your blood sugar drops as a little battery re-charge. Yoga Nidra will help restore your energy and focus the mind for remaining activities during the day. You can also practice in the evening before bed. This will help release the activity in the body, the mind and the emotional body from the days experiences. Yoga Nidra can provide a deeper and more restful sleep resulting in a rejuvenating slumber that will help you feel more awake the following day. How to practice: Ideally make a flat bed on the floor with an extra cushion under the body and head as the weight after time will be demanding for the body. I would suggest if you have a wool blanket or sheepskin which will help distr

How can we create more stability and open up space to tenderly hold what is yours to feel and experience.

This session is to help reinforce and embody your intention set in the new year to fulfil your desires; dharma, artha, kama & moksha. Rumi poetically states "Every heart receives what it Prays for." What do you need from your practice to restore you to a state of serenity, sanity and peace? Self-forgiveness, compassion, strength, creativity, abundance, acceptance, love, joy, connection, trust... try to dive deep into your deepest hearts desire and form your intention of practice. To find success in fulfilling your intention I would suggest this equation: I(d) + I(e) > R Intention of your desire PLUS the intensity of energy, must be equal to or greater than your resistance. Your resistance is the karma of old patterns that keep you stuck in old behaviour of relating to yourself and life. To make lasting change, keep reinforcing your intention and embodying it as you move forward on and off your mat.

Yoga & Meditation is not about transcending or bypassing this human experience, however practicing to embody it, in a more spirited loving way. Using a simple Pranayama practice to focus the mind and physical sensation in waking in your body to the loving companion of the present moment.

This practice is to establish a connection to a strong physical foundation with our 'Yogi' Feet, so we are able to take the deep dive into the more subtle layers (Koshas) of our journey into our 'inner being'. Using mantra "SO HUM" to stabilise the mind as we channel our Prana creating clarity and spaciousness in all layers (Koshas) of our experience.
