Ever have a conversation you did not want to end? That's today's episode on the Daring to Rest Podcast with seven of the women who just led rest sessions at Rest Camp for Women. It's a conversation on rest and yoga nidra that's personal, professional, fun, and serious. You'll hear us talking about great rest books and films and a resty kind of TED Talk. We share our essential rest props. And there are many tender and sweet rest stories. If you're thinking about the Daring to Rest Facilitator Training for Women, this is a must-listen. You'll hear all seven women reflect on the ways the training impacted them. In a culture that values busyness over rest, this episode is for any woman who wants to put rest at the center of her life and wants to create a world of rested people.

Welcome to the most relaxing moment you’ve had in a long time! We’re talking about rest and just plain chilling out in this episode. I start with an essay I wrote called ‘The Secret to Relaxing About Life’ … cause, hey, it’s all ultimately an inside job, right, for what else can it be? I share a few insights about how I’ve learned to make that happen. Then we move on to some seriously heavy duty rest coaching, using the age old practice of yoga nidra. If you don’t know about yoga nidra, you want to. Right now. Trust me. Interview with Karen Brody I had a highly relaxing and informative chat with Yoga Nidra expert Karen Brody. This is a form of guided meditation that literally helps you relax every part of your body, in just 15 to 20 minutes. And it’s foundational to reclaiming your nervous system, and your sleep. The benefits are many, including improved sleep and a gradual silencing of the unhelpful voices in your head. It has also been used to treat panic and anxiety. If you suffer from overwork, overstimulation, or just ‘too much stuff’ in your world … may this be an easy, restful antidote. In our conversation, I learned: What yoga nidra is, and how it’s different from standard meditation What happens in that 15 to 20 minutes … and why it’s so beneficial What the ‘wisdom body’ is and how it serves us Best times of day for yoga nidra, and how it works The value of yoga nidra for lunch ALSO … Karen led us in a five-minute sample of the work. Now … that’s relaxing!

Yoga nidra meditation is a sleep-based meditation technique. It is literally yogic sleep, sleep with full awareness. The body sleeps but the mind remains awake listening to guided instructions. It feels like a nap, and some say just fifteen minutes feels like one hour of sleep in your body. I call it "meditation with a cherry on top" because you get all the benefits of meditation plus deep sleep. Mission Statement: Daring to Rest helps women lie down to wake up. We believe well-rested women lake great leaders and it’s about time women lead.
