Today I am getting personal with you, talking about how I run my rest business and a few Daring to Rest origin stories to understand how I even had the idea over fifteen years ago to start a business focused on rest. As some of you know, I had a long history of panic attacks. At times I literally felt like a hostage in my home, unable to even open the door without the panic attacks starting again. Today I'm sharing how this shifted, the wild prescription I was given for the panic attacks, why I started a rest business, and what principles have worked well for me to grow my rest business. You'll learn about the yoga nidra and other influences that have gone into creating the Daring to Rest community, and hear a few really funny stories about my road to becoming rested and running a rest business. (At least I think they're funny :) Happy listening! This is the final episode of our Transform Your Life and Your Wellness Business series.  Resources for this episode can be found here:  daringtorest.com/podcast/94  

Host Karen Brody reads her rest note "Women: Let's Not Keep Our Mouths Shut Anymore" and talks about the topics of rest, women's voices, and writing.   Resources for this episode can be found here: http://daringtorest.com/podcast/90  

In a culture that idolizes productivity, it can feel countercultural to make rest an essential part of our life and goals. But when we prioritize rest, we cultivate creativity, increase productivity, and we live more joyfully. In REST: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less, Alex Soojung-Kim Pang writes "Discoveries in sleep research, psychology, neuroscience, organizational behavior, sports medicine, sociology, and other fields have given us a wealth of insight into the unsung but critical role that rest plays in strengthening the brain, enhancing learning, enabling inspiration, and making innovation sustainable."I would also argue that we have a right to rest simply because it's a human need and we matter, not only as a means to any end goal. Yoga Nidra teacher and author of Daring of Rest, Karen Brody writes “We take rest like a pill for productivity. Let us rest without an agenda.” This can feel difficult because of the cultural conditioning and story that our worth is tied to our level of productivity.SHOW NOTES: WHY DON'T YOU REST?In part one of this conversation I talk about the Why and What of rest using my handcrafting a life vision worksheet (below) as a guide. Do you see yourself in one of these 12 reasons that (collective) we don't rest?Guilt, shame, judgment - ex. "It's lazy to rest / I'm lazy" Conditioning that tells us our value is tied to (constant) productivity or being immersed in 'more-and-faster-is-better' or hustle-cultureComparison - ex. "other people have it worse / can't rest so I shouldn't" You're in an extremely hard season, hard circumstances, and you're doing your best to survive or pay the billsTrauma - it doesn't feel safe to rest...

Karen's back with a short "rest check in" on the topic of deep rest, yoga nidra and inner mothering. These unrested times are calling us not only to rest, and help others, but also to not abandon our inner selves. Abandoning ourselves is perhaps the number one way we get off the rested path. Inner mothering is key. Come hang out with Karen today as she shares on the podcast about how a practice like yoga nidra can help you mother yourself while lying down. This is the kind of rest revolution we want you to be a part of - lying down to feel rested AND "do the inner work!"

We all know that you need to make an ongoing effort to keep the romantic flame alive in a relationship, that's why you tell your woman "You're beautiful!" on the regular, right? "Open Her" by Karen Brody explains why this quotidian romantic overture falls far short of making your lady feel seen, loved, and desired. The author is sort of like a female Roosh V (a comparison I'm sure she would just love). She tasted the rainbow of masculinity and defines seven masculine archetypes in this book - which isn't really "red-pilled", feminist, or anti-feminist. This book and its unique insights on men and women don't really fit into one of our modern culture war camps.My witty and pretty wife and I read this one together, and share takeaways in this podcast...Read

In this rest note, Karen Brody talks about a surprising conversation on meditation that she recently had with a customs officer. With examples from her own life, she explores where we go when we meditate and how to live in the noise and the peace of life.   Resources at: https://daringtorest.com/podcast/82  

 In this rest note on leadership, Karen Brody takes on the topics of women, leadership, rest and staying awake in a world that wants us asleep to what's keeping us tired. She explores the political resignations in 2023 of Jacinda Ardern and Nicola Sturgeon as examples of women leaders showing us how be our own kind of leader.

It's obvious, even without the statistics, that there are a lot of exhausted people. That's why a 2017 tweet by Netflix raised Karen's rest feathers. Listen to her rest rant on capitalism's investment in our fatigue and how we can't stop over-eating on the most seductive "chocolate cake" of these tired times.   Resources for this episode: https://daringtorest.com/podcast/77  

For many years Karen, the founder of ‘Daring to Rest' experienced severe panic attacks. It wasn't until she started a deep rest practice that she learned how to meet her anxiety with grace and she hasn't had a panic attack since. During her menopause process, this devoted practice of rest enabled her to clearly feel her ‘no' and ‘yes' in her body, process the rage arising and listen for what she needed to navigate this almighty transition. In our conversation today we explore:How rest at menopause helps us to manage the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges that can show up in menopause, including hot flushes, insomnia, low energy, brain fog, anxiety, grief, and rage.How rest enables us to feel the ‘No' of menopause in our bodies, so that we can pay attention to it, act on it, and in doing so, make way for our next level ‘yes'.Why rest is non-negotiable while we're navigating the death and a rebirth initiation of menopause, and how to actually get it, even amidst the responsibilities of our lives (and the key is dropping any ideas of perfection). ---Registration for our 2022 Menstruality Leadership Programme will open again soon.

In a world where rest is seen as laziness, one of the most radical and daring things we can do is lie down and do nothing. And in doing so, we can wake up and bring to consciousness all that is hidden under our busyness. Our guest today is Karen Brody - a mother, writer and author of the book “Daring To Rest”. She is one of the leaders in this movement to be radically well-rested, through her Daring to Rest Leadership programme, where she teaches Yoga Nidra for the modern world. This conversation explores the quietly transformative healing power that rest brings to our lives.How rest - in a similar way to menstruation - is the anchor that roots us into who we are, opening the door to ‘soul whispers' which help us access intuitive wisdom and live our Calling. How to take care of our frazzled nervous systems and ‘power down' into truly nourishing deep rest, through the power of Yoga Nidra.How to dare to rest in a world which perceives rest as lazy, weak and unproductive, especially during the transitional moments in life, such as menstruation, menopause and motherhood.---Registration is open for our 2022 Menstruality Leadership Programme.

BIO: Karen Brody has taught the art of deep rest to thousands of women around the world and trained women to teach others in the art of rest primarily through a life-changing and life-saving yogic sleep tool: yoga nidra meditation.  She has taught at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, 1440 Multiversity, and many locations around the world.Karen is the author of the only book for women on yoga nidra, called Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation. She's a mother of two boys; Jacob is 21 and Aden is 20.  After a complete breakdown/burnout mothering my one son with learning differences, she made a strong commitment to move through mothering with deep rest and the positive effects led her to teaching 40-day deep rest yoga nidra programs to mothers for many years.As a community organizer with women's groups for a decade, and the author of a play called BIRTH, Karen have spent most of her professional time supporting women's empowerment.  This understanding has informed how she teaches yoga nidra meditation. To Karen, yoga nidra is a deep rest practice that has the potential to help any person reclaim their power, whether that power is better sleep, or a complete reboot of one's life. For women, whose voices and bodies have been silenced and harmed throughout history, Karen believes yoga nidra has the potential to spark a level of feminine leadership that is urgently needed, one rooted in ease, listening, and belonging.Karen is on a mission to help women rise up rested, tell a new rest story, and ultimately to create a well-rested world. SHOW NOTES:

Women have our own inner calendar based on the menstrual cycle, and when we honor that cycle, we access our feminine power. But we simply can't unlock that power if we don't stop to rest when our body needs it. So, how might we use yoga nidra to hone our menstrual cycle awareness – and post menopause - and tap into our power as women? Barbara Dopfer is a Certified Daring to Rest Facilitator and the Founder of Yogarten, a studio in Bavaria, Germany. She is also trained in the Red School tradition of using the menstrual cycle to awaken our feminine power. On this episode of the podcast, Barbara joins me to discuss the connections between menstrual cycle awareness  and the practice of yoga nidra, explaining how she is applying the three maps of the menstrual cycle in her work as certified Daring to Rest facilitator. Barbara describes why it's challenging to access our power as women in a via positiva-driven society and walks us through the map of the inner seasons, sharing how the rest-release-rise cycle of the Daring to Rest method echoes our monthly cycle. She also offers an in-depth look at the five chambers of inner winter, discussing why rest is crucial in capitalizing on the opportunity for renewal in each menstruation. Listen in for insight on using the Daring to Rest concepts of intention-setting and soul whispers as part of your menstrual cycle awareness and learn what YOU can do to tap into your own inner calendar and develop the feeling of being right in your body—just the way you are!

In the menstrual cycle, we experience currents of expansion and contraction, activity and rest. Yet we've been living in a cultural paradigm built exclusively around expansion and activity (the via positiva). A cultural paradigm that has avoided the via negativa entirely—until now. Now that we have pushed ourselves into a global health crisis, many of us are being forced to stay at home, and whether you're busier now or not, the call to rest and reflect is massive. To foster a deeper connection with our feelings. To ask more difficult questions. To come back home to ourselves. Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer are the cofounders of Red School and co-authors of Wild Power: Discover the Magic of Your Menstrual Cycle and Awaken the Path to Feminine Power. On this episode of Daring to Rest, Alexandra and Sjanie join me to share what called them to this work around menstrual cycle awareness and introduce us to their definition of power as the capacity to be vulnerable and surrender to the unknown. Alexandra and Sjanie discuss the concept of menstruality, reflecting on the consciousness that evolves from menstrual cycle awareness and wakes us up to our true meaning and purpose in the world. We also explore menopause as a journey of expanding consciousness and reflect on how postmenopausal women can continue to be held in cyclical life. Listen in for insight on honoring your cycle in a non-cyclical world and learn how Red School's three inner maps of the menstrual cycle can help us understand the current moment in history.   Key Takeaways How healing herself from endometriosis led Alexandra to her current work Sjanie's experience of feeling life flood back when her menstrual cycle returned How our menstrual cycle connects us to our meaning and purpose How Alexandra & Sjanie define power as the capacity to be vulnerable + surrender to the unknown The concept of menstruality as the consciousness that evolves from menstrual cycle awareness Alexandra & Sjanie's three inner maps of the menstrual cycle Map of two vias (activity vs. rest) Map of four seasons Five chambers of menstruation Our collective avoidance of via negativa leading up to the Coronavirus health crisis The parallels between the current moment in history and the void just before we bleed Alexandra's insight around menopause as a journey of expanding consciousness How women in postmenopause can continue to be held in cyclical life Sjanie's explanation of the 1% shift strategy for honoring our cycle in a non-cyclical world   Connect with Alexandra & Sjanie Red School Wild Power: Discover the Magic of Your Menstrual Cycle and Awaken the Feminine Path to Power by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer   Resources Jane Catherine Severn Holding the Tension of Opposites by Marion Woodman Daring to Rest Honoring Fear Yoga Nidra Series Daring to Rest Nap Community for Women Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation by Karen Brody

How many times have women stayed silent throughout history? What if rest was a remedy to help us speak up? On today's episode, to celebrate International Women's Day, I talk about how rest helps us reclaim our voices. I also recorded a special gift of rest for you with this episode...a nice, long nourishing yoga nidra meditation called "Deep Rest for Women Speaking Up." You'll find it in the resources section for this episode. International Women's Day - and women's history month - feels like a great time for women around the world to take a nidra nap! This episode, and the yoga nidra that accompanies it, was inspired by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés' piece, "How to Silence a Woman: Retrieving Her Voice." After reading this piece, I started thinking about all the threads between how women have been silenced for centuries and how deep rest helps us retrieve our voice. Today's episode are my thoughts on how rest helps women find their voices and fuels women rising up on issues that are of critical importance in today's world. We need more women's voices at the table. And we most definitely need more diverse women's voices at the table. I believe rest is the remedy to help us speak up and be heard. Here's to the rise of your well-rested - and no longer silenced - woman. Happy International Woman's Day and a big "let's go" to Deep Rest for Women!   Key Takeaways Women's rest-history and how we've been silenced Karen finding her voice through yoga nidra How yoga nidra helps us find our voice Recommendations on how much yoga nidra to practice

How would you describe your relationship with your body? Many of us struggle with feelings of disconnection or shame, and we only allow ourselves pleasure in the form of reward for or recovery from hard work. What if we could not just make peace with our bodies, but learn to love them and trust their wisdom? What if we made pleasure a regular practice and used it to fuel our creative work? What if we could harness the power of sensual living as a pathway to fulfillment? Mary Lofgren is the creator of The School of Sensual Living, a platform designed to help us become best friends with our bodies by savoring life through the senses. She is a self-described sensual savant, passionate writer, former burlesque sensation, licensed esthetician, experienced Qoya and yoga teacher, and advocate of sensual, embodied living. Mary believes that our bodies can be our greatest allies and most cherished works of art, and she combines her background in movement, mindfulness, beauty and feminine spirituality to help us experience the beauty that comes from being in a body. Today, Mary joins me to explain how a transformation around her body led her to burlesque and share her view of the experience as a sacrament to the divine feminine. She discusses her take on sensuality as a feminine approach to mindfulness, describing why an aversion to feeling keeps us from being fully present and how we have the tools for fulfillment within the wisdom of our own bodies. Listen in for Mary's insight on reframing pleasure as source, the fuel that inspires our creative work, and learn how The School of Sensual Living provides a deep level of body-based healing. Key Takeaways How Mary's transformation around her body led her to burlesque Mary's view of burlesque as a sacrament to the divine feminine How Mary sees sensuality as a feminine approach to mindfulness Why an aversion to feeling holds us back from being fully present How we have the tools for fulfillment within our own bodies Using the pleasure of the present moment to be with the unknown The clarity around Mary's decision to return to her birth name Mary's insight that our bodies have the answers we seek Mary's reframe of pleasure as the source that fuels our work How Mary seeks to provide a deep level of body-based healing Mary's understanding of true rest as the act of letting go Connect with Mary The School of Sensual Living Resources The New York School of Burlesque Mama Gena Mary's ‘My Fighting Mantra' Blog The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk, MD Sylvia Boorstein Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation by Karen Brody

In this first episode of our Rest Stories Series, Daring to Rest founder Karen Brody tells her worn out woman to well-rested woman story and why she decided she must teach the transformational sleep practice known as yoga nidra. It may seem ridiculous to teach people how to rest, but today more than ever - with inflammation causing physical illness in so many people and inflammation of the world threatening our planet - the most simple solution is to show people how to relax their nervous system, and the best rest practice we know at Daring to Rest is yoga nidra. Rest turns out to be much easier said than done as most people have an uneasy relationship to rest. Realities of paying the rent, raising children and the chores of daily life provide few easy moments to take a break. Rest shame is real, leaving us to believe that rest is unproductive, lazy and weak. Karen Brody, founder of Daring to Rest, and the women who enter the Daring to Rest Academy's professional yoga nidra teacher training program, know this worn out woman scenario all too well. Most of us were experts in burnout. But then we found yoga nidra meditation and discovered that rest was more accessible than we thought, and that was essential for our survival. In this special Rest Stories Series, Karen and ten Certified Daring to Rest Facilitators, tell their rest stories, explain what rest means to them and why they are so passionate about teaching yoga nidra to others. Throughout the month of January, we'll be telling our rest stories. Listen in to discover why yoga nidra is “more than a fancy nap” and why so many women are teaching it to create a well-rested world.   Connect with Karen  Contact Resources   The Daring to Rest Academy - enrollment in our online professional yoga nidra training for women is now open Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh Podcast with Karen's son Podcast with Amy Rachelle  

It's much easier to ignore the darker parts of ourselves—the wounds, the fears, the biases, the anxieties. Sloshing around in our inner territory is scary, but there is freedom in the truth. And the more we can talk about our shadows without getting defensive, the more we can accept our humanness and start to heal ourselves and the world around us. Only then we can go deep AND go home to ourselves.  Pixie Lighthorse is an artist, healer and author who uses words as medicine to “wander with people through the hard stuff.” Her most recent work, Goldmining the Shadows, primes us for an ongoing inner dialogue with damaging influences (both internal and external), so we can begin the process of liberation and restoration. On this episode, Pixie joins me to define what it means to do shadow work and explains why it's crucial to explore our own inner territory.  Pixie describes our quest for balance between thinking/doing and feeling/being, offering insight around how to access the most truthful parts of ourselves from a liminal space. She also shares the idea of rigorous honesty, discussing how we can recognize our shadows as they come up, examine our subconscious biases, and avoid the push/pull in our relationships. Listen in to understand the role of rest in accessing clarity and wisdom—and learn how to liberate yourself by accepting what IS.    Key Takeaways  Pixie's work in wandering with people through the hard stuff  How Pixie defines shadow work and why it's so crucial  Why Pixie's best writing ideas come from the liminal space  The quest for balance between thinking/doing + feeling/being  The idea of rigorous honesty and how it impacts relationships  How to examine our unconscious bias without defensiveness  Recognizing shadows when we use absolutes or complain  The danger in overidentifying with our specialization  How we harm ourselves/others out of loyalty to our wounds  Why we can't access clarity or wisdom when we're tired  How communication makes room for cooperative experiences   The shadow side of hope and how we use it as a mask  Pixie's insight around the freedom of accepting what IS    Connect with Pixie  Pixie's Website    Resources   Goldmining the Shadows by Pixie Lighthorse  Boundaries and Protection by Pixie Lighthorse  Prayers of Honoring by Pixie Lighthorse  Prayers of Honoring Voice by Pixie Lighthorse  Prayers of Honoring Grief by Pixie Lighthorse  Leesa Renee Hall  Healing Night: The Science and Spirit of Sleeping, Dreaming, and Awakening by Rubin Naiman PhD  Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation by Karen Brody  Daring to Rest Sleep Series  Yes to Rest Friday - Daring to Rest Yoga Nidra Naps for Women Facebook Group  SHARE

Karen Brody is a man coach and bestselling author of Open Her: Activate 7 Masculine Powers to Arouse Your Woman's Love & Desire. Karen goes in-depth about how we, as men, lose our power in marriage, how we kill the attraction our wives have for us, and how we can understand our women better than they understand themselves.

Karen Brody is the founder of Daring to Rest, a yoga nidra-based approach for women.  In this episode, we talked about: Karen’s former experience of being a Type A personality and having panic attacks. Finding yoga nidra at her yoga studio whilst looking for a stretchy class to tone up her body. Lying down and taking a nap was outside of her paradigm Realising that she put her boys down for a nap each day and it helped them to be less cranky, but why wasn’t she doing this for herself? The danger of sleep-deprivation How do you quiet the mind? What is yoga nidra? Sleep meditation with a state of relaxed awareness Feelings of freedom, hope and possibility arose from the experience of yoga nidra The subconscious mind guiding you to your best self The fourth state of consciousness that you can’t access from sleep Rest-shaming in our culture Letting go of what you don’t need Being supported and safe when you lie down and surrender Yoga nidra as a gift for your baby/ children  Even 5 minutes of yoga nidra in the car is worthwhile Realising the transformational effect of yoga nidra after a traumatic robbery which left Karen with PTSD Creating a rest cave Sharing yoga nidra online to give more people access and create connections and community from women all over the world Training women in the Daring to Rest Method Yoga nidra taught an embodied understanding of choice and agency This tool can be used alongside anti-anxiety medication and anti-depressants Feeling less alone and more connected Yoga nidra as non-negotiable rest before and during your period Bookending in the morning and/or night Soul whispers  The Wild Woman archetype from Clarissa Pinkola Estés Activating the intuitive part  Awakening creativity through rest Lying down teaches us to tune in The most radical act for women is to rest and reawaken   If you’d like to connect with Karen Brody, find her @karen_Brody or @daringtorest or visit her website: www.daringtorest.com   You can read her book,  Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1622039092/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=avnitouch-21&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1622039092&linkId=f14449d35974aac07fd7e4b0bd095f81

As with yoga nidra, liminal dreaming requires us to surrender. To let go and drop into a space of deep relaxation. To have a conversation with the unconscious. So, what, exactly is liminal dreaming and when does it occur? And how can we develop a dream practice around it that supports creativity and problem-solving—and improves our overall wellbeing? Jennifer Dumpert is writer, speaker and consciousness hacker who teaches the practice of liminal dreaming. She is also the founder of Oneironauticum, a global organization that explores the phenomenological experience of dreams as a means of self-actualization and consciousness expansion. Jennifer's new book, Liminal Dreaming: Exploring Consciousness at the Edges of Sleep, offers readers a step-by-step process for creating their own meaningful dream practice. Today, Jennifer joins me to define liminal dreaming and discuss its characteristic irregular brainwaves. She explores the yoga nidra + liminal dream connection, speaking to the restorative quality of the practice and the best way to facilitate liminal dreaming via slow and deep nidras. Jennifer also explains why scents and smells make excellent oneirogens and shares some of the most common olfactory and auricular allies for liminal dreaming. Listen in for insight on processing liminal dreams to develop your own practice and learn how Thomas Edison and Salvador Dalí practiced liminal dreaming for creativity and problem-solving! Key Takeaways The definition of liminal dreaming and its irregular brainwaves The differences among REM sleep, lucid and liminal dreaming How liminal dreaming serves as a pathway to lucid dreaming Where in the yoga nidra map people go into liminal dreaming The restorative quality of an experience in liminal dreaming How to process liminal dreams as part of a core practice The value in focusing on the experience of a dream in your body Jennifer's powerful experience with collective dreaming Why scents and smells make excellent oneirogens for dreaming The benefit to crafting your own liminal dream practice How slow and deep nidras facilitate liminal dreaming The reasons behind the growing awareness of hypnagogia How liminal dreaming presents in older people + small children The liminal dream process used by Edison + Dali for creativity Connect with Jennifer Urban Dreamscape Jennifer on Twitter Jennifer on Facebook Resources Liminal Dreaming: Exploring Consciousness at the Edges of Sleep by Jennifer Dumpert Books by Stephen LaBerge Brenna Geehan Rod Stryker Yoga Nidra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati Dr. Rubin Naiman Uma Dinsmore-Tuli Dale Pendell Robert Rich “Somnium” by Robert Rich Dr. Christopher Kerr at TEDxBuffalo David Foulkes Dream Research Dr. Charles Tart Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation by Karen Brody

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.

We're not getting enough rest - that much is obvious. We prioritise the housework, our emails and social media over sleep, and we worship busy-ness over slow living.

Get ready for the most amazing rest of your life. and I don't mean the remainder of your life (although that will happen too.) I'm specifically referring to your rest as in relaxation and sleep. Today we have Karen Brody with us! She wrote the book Daring to Rest: a 40-day program for Women which uses yoga nidra techniques to restore your body's ability to function at a really powerful level. Karen had a long personal history of severe panic attacks until she found yoga nidra meditation over a decade ago. At that time, she was a sleep-deprived mother of two small children on anti-anxiety medication. She signed up for a yoga nidra meditation class simply looking to lie down for a nap. What she got was “the best nap of her life.” As she continued to practice yoga nidra regularly, her deep fatigue lifted; she wrote a critically acclaimed play, got off anti-anxiety pills, and started to teach this yoga nidra “power nap” to every exhausted mother she knew. If you've been a listener of the show for awhile, then you'll know that I've had my own strange journey with learning what my body can and cannot handle and how that relates to my burnout rate.

Karen Brody is the founder of the Daring to Rest™ Program for Women, which promotes women's empowerment and increased health through yoga nidra meditation. With Sounds True, Karen has published Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Karen and Tami Simon have a serious discussion about the epidemic of burnout and exhaustion in modern culture. This is especially true for women, who are often held to the societal expectation that they serve the needs of those around them before they ever consider taking even the most necessary rest. Karen offers yoga nidra as a one part of the solution to this wave of fatigue, describing how her own practice and the cultivation of turiya—"the sleep of the yogis"—helped her move past a period of intense, chronic sleeplessness. Finally, Karen and Tami speak on the liberation in abandoning perfectionism and how yoga nidra can be folded into the course of our daily lives. (64 minutes)

Talking with Karen Brody on Intimate Conversations was truly a gift that fit completely with where I am in my life right now.  From her choice to live her adventure in Mexico to the journey she has traveled, Karen knows what it means to surrender to the universe and drop in to her femininity. (And I was fascinated to hear about her relationship with a Latin man------ oooh baby!) Karen has some fabulous insights in to men and their seven masculine powers.  She works with men to help them understand women and connect on the level we women yearn for with a man.  Her work has shown her that many men are deeply wounded and lack the confidence in their own masculine power, or sadly, some have never even ever been shown their masculine power. She helps men see their beauty and their power and opens their eyes to how it can be so helpful in how they relate to women and find the relationship they're looking for with a woman who loves and adores them. This is a call for men who are ready to embrace the gifts the universe has given them and the parts of them that draw in a woman of worth who is ready to love, support and fuel his purpose on the planet. If you missed the interview, be sure to listen to the replay.  This interview has information that will help both men and women and explain why things happen that threaten intimacy and relationships--- what men do that causes women to become disenchanted and crunchy and what women do that emasculate men and challenge their potent masculinity.  Learn the secrets of seduction that work! Karen Brody is The Love and Intimacy Coach for Men, and the author of the soon to be released, “MOJO, Activate Your 7 Masculine Powers to Arouse Your Woman’s Love & Desire. Karen teaches men how to successfully navigate women and how to become irresistibly sexy to the woman they love. Karen says that most of the issues men experience with women, in love, have to do with not understanding the nature of their own masculine power. In her 12 years as The Love and Intimacy Coach for Men, Karen’s helped thousands of men come to know and step into their power, and experience the kind of deeply satisfying relationships they most desire with women. Karen also teaches women how to get their man to worship and adore them, so that they can feel the kind of powerful intimacy they long for. Karen says that men often live at the affect of women in relationship, rather than being the kind of men who can confidently command a woman’s love and desire and this diminishes intimacy and attraction. It is her mission to transform men from “nice guys” and men who go along with the program, into men who can meet women in the deepest dance of love!

She brings over 23 years of experience supporting women and their families during the childbearing years to honor the sacred and vital work of welcoming our children into the world. Whole Birth Yoga is a synthesis of Robin's long time love of yoga, birth, dance, meditation, the natural world and her observation over many years of how these things have supported women to cross the bridge into motherhood.    In Whole Birth® Yoga and Support classes,so many wonderful kinds of connections are made. Women deepen their connection to their own bodies, finding more comfort while they experience the rapid and unfamiliar changes of pregnancy. They learn to trust the body's innate wisdom for birth. Women connect with their hearts and minds as they settle into the calm stillness of the meditative practice. We will also be discussing the upcoming Red Tent (& what they are) and the play BIRTH by Karen Brody and how Doulas in Austin are being BOLD!
