“Yoga is not something that we do. Yoga is a state of consciousness, and yoga is either present or not. And, for us to be able to perceive the difference and to have the tools to be able to welcome this state of consciousness into space where it is not present. Because that unity consciousness is exactly what we need to heal the world.” Tracee Stanley is the author of the bestselling book Radiant Rest: Yoga Nidra for Deep Relaxation and Awakened Clarity and the forthcoming The Luminous Self: Sacred Yogic Practices & Rituals to Remember Who You Are (Oct 2023 by Shambhala Publications).

That to me is very hopeful because it becomes an inner resource that we can always go to."   "One of the things that happens when we want to look away and pretend it's not happening is that we're not acknowledging this idea that we are all connected."   "We actually, as human beings, have to take this respite of rest at some point, whether it's seasonal or whether it's during the day or whether it's because the cycle of the news has carried us to a place where we need to take a moment or a day to rest or more than one or two days. But we have to listen."   "Can we, instead of resisting this cold, resisting this time of fallowness, can we welcome the beauty that the snow brings and the cold brings?"   "For most of us, I think that has been lost or forgotten or we feel that it's not important. And yet all of the prayers of our ancestors, all of their memories, all of their knowledge is living in our DNA and it's part of who we are."   "I can't tell anybody what to do. This is why practice is so important because practice, when we get still and silent and we rest, gives us the answer of what is ours to do."   "It really doesn't have to be big, but one little increment of movement in a positive direction can be so helpful." 255 What is our relationship with nature? How do we connect to our roots and our ancestors? Why is all of this important and relevant to yoga? Tracee Stanley (she/her) addresses these questions and shares insights about rituals we can practice to go deeper.

Two years ago, we spoke with Tracee Stanley, founder of the Empowered Life Circle, about her book "Radiant Rest," and it was one of the most memorable interviews we've hosted on this podcast. We are honored to have her on again to talk about her new book, "The Luminous Self," which comes out in October. Tracee's new book paints from a palette of her decades of study of the traditions of the Himalayan Masters and Sri Vidya Tantra as well as from personal stories that make the knowledge both practical and relatable. In this episode, we get the hear Tracee tell some of these stories firsthand as well as hear her describe some of the practices she outlines in her book for reconnecting to our deepest selves. We discuss all the ways in which thinking of life as a sacred ritual infuses life with intention and purpose. There are so many incredible gems of wisdom from Tracee in this episode. And for those who preorder her book at Shambhala.com before the launch date of October 9, you get 30% off with the code LUM30 as well as free entry into her book club with live group sessions, practices, Q&A and sacred community.  Show Notes: 1.15 Rituals2.15 “If we want to think about life as a sacred ritual, if we want to be able to weave our practices and our devotion throughout our days. Then we have to become more intentional with the things that we do and why we do them. Because a ritual is really meant to mark a moment in time when you take a pause, you do something intentionally to create an effect or an opening for something new to emerge.” Tracee7.45 Timeline practice11.00 How The Luminous Self came about 14.27 “I am deeply listening to what needs to come through.” Tracee 16.50 Opening up the humanity18.00 Sanskara : The moments we think hold us back propels us to our own growth “The crack is where the light comes through. This idea of discomfort is the portal to your healing. And it's sometimes the very thing we want to avoid. Whether it's because we don't have the support, or we don't have the practices or we don't have the trust or the faith that it's even possible. And so, I really wanted people to be able to see through my lens that it absolutely is possible.” Tracee 19.30 The Yoga Sutras25.00 Internal Practices “This idea of internal practice is a strengthening of the remembering. Because we have so much beautiful memory from our spiritual lineages, our ancestor lineages that live in our DNA. When we are in a place of deep rest and deep listening that that remembering rises to the surface as well”. Tracee 27.00 The elements and our connection to them  “When we think about this idea of returning to our true nature, our true nature is not separate from nature. The more we are separate from it, the more we are separated from ourselves. As above, so below. What is in the macrocosm is in the microcosm, there is a universe inside of us. There is a sun, there is a moon.” Tracee 31.00 “There is not a reciprocal relationship with nature. And once we are in that reciprocity with nature, that is when the healing starts to begin.” Tracee 31.30 The connected roots exercise  Ted Talk: Suzanne Simard 36.00 Yoga is not a feel-good practice – it's a face your truth practice “When I first started practicing yoga it was like -oh I want to feel better, I want to look better, I want to be stronger, I want to be more peaceful and then when I started reading that first translation of the yoga sutras, it was like oh there's a place in my that is beyond all sorrow. Then that means there is sorrow that I am not acknowledging, I am bypassing the sorrow so that I can be in the feel-good.” Tracee  37.00 Bhakti – Devotion39.00 Upgrades in consciousness “I needed that upgrade. It was excruciatingly painful until I realized what was happening. And then it was like -oh, let me be in the lila, and let me watch and let me experience. And it took on a completely different turn.” Tracee  Discount Code: 30% off the book if you preorder at Shambhala.com with the code LUM30

 Wir sprechen im Podcast über, * die Kraft von Yoga Nidra, * den Unterschied zwischen Yoga Nidra & Schlaf, * die Bedeutung von Pausen und Erholung,  * warum Entscheidungen so wichtig sind, * warum Zeit oftmals eine Ausrede ist, * wie Yoga Nidra bei Schlafproblemen hilft, * warum ein Altar zuhause helfen kann, * die Bedeutung von Stille & Disziplin  * und warum Selbstbefragungen wichtig sind.

Enjoy!BIO: I have been studying Yoga and Tantra since 1995. After reading a translation of the Yoga Sutra's in 2000, I went on a quest for teachings that could create more understanding for me around the philosophies and promises of Yoga illuminated by Patanjali in this text. There was one sutra that really resonated with me. I could feel it in my cells. Sutra 1:36.Vishoka Va Jyotishmati, this led me to be initiated into the lineage of the Himalayan Masters and Sri Vidya Tantra and informs all of my teaching. The focus of my teaching today honours life as a ritual and I am devoted to yoga nidra, meditation, self-inquiry, nature as a teacher, and ancestor reverence. As the founder of The Empowered Life Circle, and the creatrix of the Empowered Life Self-Inquiry Oracle Deck I am devoted to sharing tools cultivating a life this is a sacred ritual.
