Sankalpa is a Sanskrit term that translates to "resolve" or "intention." In the context of Yoga Nidra, Sankalpa refers to a heartfelt statement or affirmation that resonates with our truest aspirations and values. By planting this seed of intention in the fertile soil of our subconscious mind, we can catalyze positive change and transformation in our lives. Make sure that your Sankalpa is expressed in the present tense. Use a short, positive sentence in simple words. Refer exclusively to yourself and not to other people or beings. Everything else will follow. For example: "I am healthy!", "I am resourceful!" or "I am abundant!" You can repeat your Sankalpa several times during the day to help the Sankalpa manifest. Stay with your Sankalpa and keep repeating the same words until your Sankalpa has realized itself in your life. Escape the chaos of everyday life and discover deep relaxation with this guided Yoga Nidra course. Learn simple techniques to melt away stress, improve sleep, and restore balance to your mind and body. All you need is a quiet space and a willingness to let go.

Title: Buddhi Yoga: Art of Working Intelligently18th Chapter: verses 57, 58, 59, 60, 6157th verse: “Mentally offer all actions to Me. Buddhi Yoga is the tool with which you should live and work in this world.”Buddhi Yoga refers to purified intellect. It is the higher faculty of the human mind that enables us to perform our actions without obsessive attachment to the outcome. Our actions sometimes yield favorable results and sometimes unfavorable results. When the mind reacts to unfavorable results, we become anxious. Buddhi Yoga enables us to remain calm even if results are not favorable.The 1st and 2nd verses of the 4th chapter refer to Rajarshi. Rajarshi is a person who has the dual qualities of a king (Rajatvam) and a saint (Rishitvam). As a king, he has great prosperity, dynamism and efficiency. As a saint, he has a calm attitude, can see far into things, and understands the limitations and impermanence of his wealth and powers. Buddhi Yoga means working with the refined intelligence of a Rajarshi.From an advaitic sense, Buddhi Yoga means living and working in this world with the understanding of the transient  nature of the empirical world.The 25th verse of the 3rd chapter contrasts two types of people. (1) Those who work hard with motive and are ignorant of the higher philosophy of Karma-Yoga. For them, every small problem becomes a big headache (2) Those who work equally hard, but who are grounded in Karma-Yoga, and see their work as Swadharma. They are not worried and are called Vidwan.58th verse: “Anyone who practices karma yoga or buddhi yoga can cross the barrier of samsara (transmigratory cycle).”The 59th and 60th verses take us back to the original narrative of Gita, where Arjuna was facing conflicts as he did not want to do an unpleasant duty. Lord Krishna says: “If instead of practicing karma yoga, you think you can run away from your duty, that is your fantasy. Your own swabhava will compel you to do the duty.”Swabhava is our inherent nature that determines our outlook to life and our actions. Every action leaves a residual effect (vritti) in our mental system. Many identical vrittis – from similar, repeated actions – solidify a distinct memory block called Samskara. Samskaras express through our determination to act in a certain manner, called Sankalpa. Sankalpa leads to further actions. This wheel continues, and it shapes our Swabhava.We can change our swabhava by consciously doing good actions and increasing the storehouse of positive samskaras.In the 61st verse, Lord Krishna puts forward a new idea. He compared God to an engineer and says: “He is running this huge machinery of creation. He is present in everyone as one immanent reality. He regulates and activates every being just like an engineer regulates and activates a machine.”God is omnipresent through immanence. Creator is present in creation. Neither is outside of the other.Spiritually, the entire existence is one. one who is truly spiritual cannot hurt any being. There is no otherness for him.Happiness is only the temporary absence of unhappiness. When we reach a state of mind, where we have santosha (contentment), we stop looking for happiness. We go beyond the happiness and unhappiness equation. That is true happiness.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...   In this episode, you are guided through a soothing Yoga Nidra practice designed to activate and nurture compassion within yourself. As we approach the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, this episode is especially poignant, focusing on evoking compassion for oneself and others. You are invited to lie down in a comfortable space, aligning your body for optimal relaxation, setting the stage for a deeper meditative experience. One of the key elements of this practice is setting an intention, known as kavanah or sankalpa, your "I am..." declaration that resonates deeply with your personal journey. This intention will be revisited, allowing it to integrate fully into your being. As you immerse yourself in this practice, you are encouraged to become a compassionate witness to your own experience, merging internal and external compassion.  Whether you are new to Yoga Nidra or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers a profound opportunity to deepen your practice and foster a compassionate heart.   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.  Central Symbol:  Rest in deep awareness experiencing guided imagery 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.  Background Music: Pixabay, Soft Ambient Modular Meditation by Nature's Eye   Subscribe to Na'aleh Yoga for more meditative Yoga Nidra journeys and transformative experiences.

Welcome to our transformative session of Nova Nidra, guided by Ayla Nova. This ancient practice of Yoga Nidra or 'yogic sleep' allows us to delve deeply into relaxation while maintaining a trace of awareness.Understanding Cutting Cords: Historically, the practice of cutting cords stems from various spiritual traditions, where it is used to sever energetic ties that bind us to past experiences or relationships that no longer serve our highest good. These ties are thought to impact our emotional and energetic health, and cutting them is seen as a way to cleanse our spirit or aura and reclaim personal energy.In today's session, Ayla Nova honours the courage it takes to engage in this deep healing work. We begin by setting the stage for a comfortable practice, aligning the body and calming the mind. You will be guided through the layers of your being—from the physical to the profound—using the gentle flow of breath and the power of intention (Sankalpa) to foster inner peace and release.'Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.' – Eckhart TollePS. Join Live for an Equinox Nova | September 22 | https://youtube.com/live/i5GtQI0vTl0?feature=shareYoga Nidra session will help you:• Release energetic ties from experiences or relationships that no longer serve your highest good.• Diminish feelings of stress and mental exhaustion, rejuvenating your mind.• Set the foundation for a night of deep, healing rest.• Promote a state of emotional neutrality and calm through guided relaxation.What to Expect:• An introduction to Yoga Nidra's core principles• Setting a personal intention or Sankalpa for mental clarity• Guided techniques for profound mental relaxation• A thorough Yoga Nidra journey focusing on anchoring in the presentWho This is For: This session is ideal for anyone looking to embrace their whole self and let go of past burdens.

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.

Meditation isn't always about blissful moments; sometimes, it's about confronting frustration, confusion, and the unexpected experiences that arise as we explore our inner world.We'll discuss how the phrase "It is what it is" serves as a powerful tool for acceptance, allowing us to navigate these challenges with grace and understanding. I'll answer some of the most common questions about meditation—how to approach it, why certain experiences happen, and whether a guide is necessary on this path.

A Description of episode 129 of Outside The Studio with Tessa: This month on Outside the Studio, Tessa and Kelly discuss the practice of yoga nidra and its benefits. They explore different types of yoga nidra and how it can be used for cognition, healing, transformation, and setting intentions (sankalpa). They also address the question of whether it's okay to use yoga nidra to fall asleep and how to handle snoring during a yoga nidra practice. Kelly shares about her two books, 'Meditation for the Modern Family' and 'You Are Not Your Thoughts,' which provide guided meditation practices for different ages and focus on anxiety. Kelly shares her perspective on the importance of humor and self-acceptance in difficult times, and how yoga nidra has been a nourishing practice for her. Key Takeaways:1. Balancing motherhood, work, and self-care can be challenging, and it's important to prioritize self-care and set boundaries.2. Teachers often teach what they need to learn themselves, and it's okay to have struggles and imperfections. Practice, whether it's yoga or meditation, helps us acquire tools to navigate real-life challenges.3. Yoga nidra is an accessible entry into building a meditation practice because it can be done lying down and focuses on relaxation and comfort.

PAUSE… Lay on your back, keeping your spine straight and relaxed. Now gently close your eyes, and become aware of your body. Observe it closely and release any unnecessary tension you might feel. LONG PAUSE… Now focus on your breath.  Feel it becoming deeper and slower as your heart rate slows down. PAUSE… Let a deep sense of relaxation expand within,  While your muscles become loose and heavy, And your body melts into your bed.  PAUSE… Dig deep within your consciousness,  And visualize a specific wish or intention you may have.  PAUSE… Now imagine a simple affirmation that describes its essence.  This is what it's called Sankalpa. PAUSE… Repeat the affirmation silently three times,  Feeling the importance of this desire. LONG PAUSE… Now come back into your body,  As we focus in on each part,  Bringing all of your attention to it,  Feeling that part soften and relax. PAUSE… We'll begin on your right side.  Bring your attention to your thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, palm of your right hand, back of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder, armpit, waist, hip, thigh, knee, calf, ankle, heel, sole, top of the foot, right big toe, long toe, middle toe, fourth toe, pinky toe. PAUSE… Now the left side. Focus on your thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, the palm of your right hand, back of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder, armpit, waist, hip, thigh, knee, calf, ankle, heel, sole, top of the foot, right big toe, long toe, middle toe, fourth toe, pinky toe. PAUSE… Observe the right side of the back of your body, Heel, calf, thigh, butt, and shoulder blade.  Turn to the left side, Heel, calf, thigh, butt, shoulder blade.  Now onto the lower back, middle back, upper back, and entire spine. PAUSE… Become aware of the back of the neck, back of the head, top of the head, and forehead.  Move to the right side of your skull, temple, ear, eyebrow, eye, nostril, cheek. Now upper lip, lower lip, mouth.  Transition to the left side of your skull, temple, ear, eyebrow, eye, nostril, cheek. Focus on the chin, jaw, throat, upper abdomen, navel, and lower abdomen. Move to the right collarbone, right side of the chest, and right groin.  Move to the left collarbone, the left side of the chest, the left groin, and the pelvic area. Now focus on the right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm, your face, the whole head, the torso, and then your whole body. LONG PAUSE… Bring all your attention to the fresh air that flows through your body as you inhale. Then feel the warm air traveling through your nose as you exhale. Breathe… PAUSE… In synch with each breath,  Count down from 20, inhaling 20,  Exhaling 19,  Inhaling 18,  Exhaling 17,  And so on.  Take your time, staying calm and patient. If you lose count simply start again. LONG PAUSE…   Now it's time to express your wish or Sankalpa. Silently say the statement you created in the beginning that encapsulates your desires.  LONG PAUSE… Breathe, One with your inhale,  One with your exhale.  Deeply relaxed,  One with sleep.  Namaste, Beautiful
