Yoga Nidra audio journeys for deep rest and restoration by Ruthie Ayzenberg. Close Your Eyes and Be Awake... Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative practice where your body is in a state of deep sleep, while your mind remains awake. This state creates the conditions for nervous system repair and natural healing for the body and mind opening the doors to increased calmness, clarity, creativity, hormonal and metabolic benefits, and emotional resolution. All you have to do is listen to the guided audio and try to stay awake. Keep in mind that this podcast is created with deference to both Yogic teachings and Torah compliance to the best of my knowledge. *Yoga *Yoga Nidra *Meditation *Healing *Mental Health *Spirituality *Jewish *NDSR Non-Sleep Deep Rest *Health *Mindfulness *Therapy *Sleep *Guided meditation *Relaxation support *Consciousness *Body Scan

40. Elul Yoga Nidra Meditation: Spiritual Recalibration (46 mins)

Season 1 · Episode 40

Sunday, September 8, 2024 • Duration 46:00

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

Welcome to this week’s Yoga Nidra practice, designed specifically for the month of Elul. As we enter this sacred time of self-reflection and spiritual realignment, you’re invited to embark on a journey of deep inner connection and renewal.

In this episode, you’ll be guided through a serene Yoga Nidra session that aligns with the themes of Elul—returning to your true self, embracing your spiritual path, and finding a sense of peace and clarity. As you lie back and relax, you’ll have the opportunity to reconnect with your inner essence from the space of alpha, theta, and delta brainwave states.

Episode Summary:

Here’s what you can expect:

Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. Make sure you’re fully supported completely at ease, ready to embark on this journey of introspection and spiritual awareness.
Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth.
Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a thorough body scan by focusing on each part of your body to rotate your consciousness into a state of deep healing rest.
Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier. Let it sink deeply into your being and guide you towards spiritual elevation and self-realization.
Externalization: Gently transition back to your ordinary waking state, bringing with you the tranquility and insights gained from this practice. Reconnect with your surroundings to integrate the peace and clarity into your daily life and embrace the essence of this season.

Season 1 · Episode 39

Wednesday, August 28, 2024 • Duration 30:00

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

This practice guides you into an extended alpha brainwave state of complete relaxation, from which your guiding resolve can begin to awaken. Your resolve is called Sanklpa in Sanskrit or Kavanah in Hebrew. Sankalpa is a combination of two words: san =truth + kalpa = promise. Kavanah means intention and comes from the word kivun =direction. Your resolve is your truth to yourself, your guiding mission in life, tafkid, your most heartfelt affirmation or prayer. It is who you are at your highest potential.

Your resolve takes the form of a short, positive statement in the present tense starting with "I am..." Awakening your resolve in your conscious mind is the gateway to bringing it into reality.

If you're curious to awaken your resolve, this practice is for you.

Episode summary:

Intro

Preparation: Ensure a comfortable and safe spot before starting this journey, with your body straight from head to toe preparing to relax.

Rotation of Consciousness: Journey through a detailed body scan

Breath Awareness: Pair breathing with counting as you deepen your state of awareness

Calling in your intention: Inviting your sankalpa/kavanah/intention to arrive

Externalization: Returning back to the ordinary waking state and taking your practice with you

Outro

As you emerge from this relaxing experience, I'd love to hear your reflections and feedback.

30. Yoga Nidra for Joy: Integrating Polarities (45 min)

Season 1 · Episode 30

Wednesday, March 20, 2024 • Duration 45:04

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

In a state of confusion and suffering, it may be difficult to feel joy. Psychologists teach us that the most difficult emotion to have is --not anger, or fear, or sadness--its actually joy. Joy is the most difficult emotion. Why??? Because something will always rain on the parade-- thoughts along the lines of "I shouldn't feel so good" or "this happy state is only temporary." And yet, joy is not exclusive of other emotions. Simple joy is at the heart of your very existence underneath the layers of other feelings, thoughts, and stories.

Our sages teach us that "the greatest happiness in the world is the resolution of doubts" (Metzudas David, Mishlei 15:30). When we are pulled in opposite directions by our feelings, thoughts, environment, or culture, life can be filled with doubts and confusion. When we provide a pause to the cognitive brain and disconnect from the sensory channels through practicing Yoga Nidra, we can connect to the source of consciousness where polarities and doubts dissolve into the bliss of simple unified being.

This healing practice of Yoga Nidra for deep rest is created in the spirit of the upcoming Jewish holiday, Purim, and coincides with the Spring Equinox. By embracing life's paradoxes and polarities with curiosity and acceptance, this Yoga Nidra journey carries you towards integrating your polarities, trusting in the inherent goodness of the universe, and celebrating our interconnected experience.
