Guided Meditations with Nolita Ananda

✨ Embracing the Light and Shadow is a deeply restful Yoga Nidra journey that invites you to honor the full spectrum of your being — not just the light, but also the quiet wisdom of shadow.Set within the dreamlike imagery of an ancient castle, this meditation guides you through the five koshas — the physical, energetic, emotional, intuitive, and blissful layers of self. You'll rest between firelight and moonlight, exploring dualities and discovering the stillness where they meet.This recording was captured live during a Yoga Nidra session at The Sanctuary Thailand.

Welcome to this special opening episode of The Blooming Spirit Podcast—a gentle invitation to connect more deeply and discover the full spectrum of what Nola Bloom offers through Blooming Spirit Journeys.Rather than a meditation or dharma talk, this heartfelt episode weaves together the story behind Nola's offerings, including private sessions, Yoga Nidra, feminine embodiment, sacred bodywork, and ceremony. You'll also hear about her most recommended practice—An Embodiment Journey into the Eight Limbs of Yoga—as well as her signature skincare ritual, Luminessence Beauty Oil.If you've ever been curious about working together, attending a live event on Koh Phangan, or joining The Blooming Feminine community, this is the perfect place to begin.✨ Website: www.bloomingspiritjourneys.com

In this episode of The Blooming Spirit Podcast, Nola Bloom explores the sacred stillness found in the pause between breaths, thoughts, and moments. Drawing from yogic philosophy and her own teachings, she guides us into awareness of the four parts of the breath—inhalation, exhalation, and the two quiet pauses in between. Through a gentle dharma talk and a calming guided meditation, discover how the space between becomes a gateway to presence, integration, and inner peace.

Setting a boundary can be one of the most loving things we do for ourselves—and also one of the hardest. Even when we know it's right, the act of saying no or asking for space can stir up fear, guilt, doubt, or grief. It can feel messy. Our voice might shake. And afterward, we're often left questioning ourselves for doing something that goes against deeply ingrained patterns.In this gentle and personal episode of The Blooming Spirit Podcast, Nola Bloom explores the emotional process of holding boundaries through the lens of yoga. With honesty and heart, she shares reflections from her own journey and the teachings that continue to support her in breaking old cycles.This episode includes:

Feeling depleted, disconnected, or like your inner flame has gone dim? This guided meditation is here to help you reconnect with what truly lights you up.

A mystical journey into sacred rest

In this episode of The Blooming Spirit Podcast, we step into the quiet, powerful energy of the new moon—a time for planting seeds

✨ A New Chapter: The Blooming Spirit Podcast ✨This podcast has been quietly evolving, and today, I am stepping fully into that transformation.

Step into The Whispering Grove, a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra meditation that guides you through the sacred layers of your being. Inspired by ancient groves—places of wisdom, reflection, and renewal—this journey invites you to soften into stillness as golden sunlight and silver moonlight weave through your body, harmonizing energy and awakening deep inner peace.Through creative visualization, a soothing body scan, and a journey through the koshas, you will dissolve into spacious awareness, feeling held by the breath of the cosmos. Whether you seek deep relaxation, energetic balance, or a return to your intuitive wisdom, this practice offers a sanctuary for your soul.If this meditation resonates with you, I invite you to leave a 5-star review on my show—your support helps these offerings reach more listeners and ripple healing into the world.

ThisYoga Nidra for Radiant Self-Love invites you to turn inward and reconnect with the deep well of love within. Valentine's Day isn't just about external love—it's a chance to nurture your own heart, honoring the infinite love that has always been yours.Through guided breathwork, soothing visualization, and a mystical body scan, you'll release tension, dissolve self-doubt, and awaken your inner radiance.Imagine a crystalline lake of intuition, the eternal flame of your heart, and silver moonbeams washing over you, guiding you into deep rest.Whether single or in a relationship, this meditation offers space to cherish yourself fully.

The Year of the Snake beckons us to embrace quiet transformation, wisdom, and grace. Like the Snake shedding its skin, this meditation invites you to release what no longer serves you and step into a cycle of renewal and deep intuition. The Snake moves with purpose and clarity, reminding us that transformation doesn't always need to be loud or fiery—it can be soft, subtle, and profoundly powerful. As someone born in the Year of the Dragon, this transition holds a deeply personal significance for me. The Dragon year was one of bold transformations, challenges, and reigniting creative fire. It pushed me to embrace my courage and step into new opportunities. Now, as I bid farewell to the Dragon—knowing it won't return for another 12 years—I feel a mix of bittersweet gratitude and excitement. The Snake's energy calls us to slow down, listen inward, and embrace a more intuitive path. In this meditation, we honor the wisdom of the Snake as we release the fire of the Dragon. Through a mystical body scan and a vivid visualization journey, you'll reflect on what you're ready to let go of and invite the Snake's quiet strength to guide you into this new chapter of your life. For a deeper understanding of this transition, I invite you to listen to my Year of the Dragon Meditation, where I share my reflections on the fiery transformations of the past year.

Welcome to another episode of our meditation series. I'm Nola Bloom, and today's guided meditation, titled ‘Serenity by the Sea,' is your gateway to the transformative practice of Ujjayi breath. In the vast world of yoga, Ujjayi breath stands as the foundational cornerstone of all classes. It's the rhythmic and intentional breath that unites body, mind, and spirit. Join me on a journey of self-discovery as we explore the profound impact of Ujjayi breath through a combination of practice, visualization, and affirmations. Mastering Ujjayi breath is no small feat, often taking years of dedicated yoga practice. This meditation aims to guide you in deepening your connection with this victorious breath, helping you maintain focus, steadiness, and mindfulness throughout your yoga journey. In the chaos of our minds during dynamic yoga flows, it's easy to lose the rhythm of our breath. This meditation provides a space to cultivate the concentration required for slow, mindful breathing—a crucial skill for any yoga practitioner, especially when facing challenging poses. Derived from Sanskrit, the word "yoga" means ‘union,' and Ujjayi breath plays a pivotal role in fostering a deep connection between your body, mind, and spirit. Often referred to as ‘ocean breathing' due to its rhythmic resemblance to waves, Ujjayi breath becomes a constant anchor, keeping you present in the moment, whether you're holding a challenging pose or navigating the stillness of Yin Yoga. As we delve into the calming effects of Ujjayi breath on the nervous system, you'll discover its power in bringing a sense of tranquility to moments of stress or anxiety. It's not just a breath; it's a tool for cultivating mindfulness—a key to experiencing the true essence of yoga. Before we embark on this meditation, I want to share an exciting opportunity to deepen your yoga practice. My course, "⁠An Embodiment Journey Into The Eight Limbs Of Yoga⁠" is now available on Insight Timer. Ujjayi Breath is intricately linked to Pranayama, the fourth limb of yoga. This course spans eight days, each offering a 30-minute session exploring a different limb of yoga, delving into the ancient philosophy beyond physical postures. For the full course outline, check the link in the description. So, find a comfortable space, settle into your mat, and let's begin our journey to 'Serenity by the Sea' through the transformative practice of Ujjayi breath.
