New Moon, New Beginnings: The Joyful Body Soundbath Immersion with Yoga Nidra Meditation** ✨

Il y a des instants qui marquent une rupture, un avant et un après. Ces moments de deuil ou de transition viennent bousculer nos repères. Dans cet épisode, je te propose un chemin d'exploration pour reconnaître la perte, accueillir tes émotions, ressentir ton corps et retrouver une forme d'ancrage.Pas à pas, il est possible de remettre du sens, de se laisser transformer et de s'ouvrir à nouveau à la joie, sans culpabilité. 5 clés pour mieux vivre ces périodes inconfortables :

In this rich and wide-ranging episode, we sit down with the legendary Rod Stryker to talk about his early days teaching in Los Angeles and how his approach to yoga has evolved over the past 40 years. From the simplicity of sequencing to the complexity of modern distractions (looking at you, phones), we explore the shifts in vinyasa and ask: what's the point if not regulation? If not wholeness?We dive into the importance of embodying what you teach. Shouldn't you actually practice something before you teach it? Rod thinks so. We also talk about learning to see bodies, trusting your own experience, and how to sustain your practice across the decades- letting exercise be exercise and yoga be the meditation it's intended to be, because regulating the nervous system is more important than ever.There's a deep dive into Yoga Nidra (and yes, we teach you how to pronounce it). We explore the liminal, energizing space of yogic sleep that might just be the unsung hero of modern yoga. And of course, there are plenty of laughs along the way- including Giana calling Bradshaw out mid-show (it's hilarious), and we wrap up with a truly funny story from Rod involving a porta-potty.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake... This yoga nidra explores the Kabbalistic emanation of Yesod, a spiritual bridge connecting the seen and unseen. Yesod serves as a meeting place where the energies of higher sefirot (emanations) of lovingkindness, inner strength, balance, endurance, and gratitude converge from abstract origins into physical form.

By entering the fluid state between sleep and wakefulness, cognitive restraints ease and deeper awareness unfolds, providing a fertile ground for healing and creativity.  By fostering a deep sense of grounding and presence through progressive relaxation, breath awareness, body scanning, and vivid visualization, this Jewish-rooted Yoga Nidra practice serves to cultivate your inner strength and potential.   Episode Summary: Here's what you can expect: Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. 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, body, and soul.

In the closing episode of The Rested Mother Series, Karen offers a gift of deep rest: a guided Yoga Nidra meditation centered on inner mothering—a powerful rest practice for anyone longing to feel more held, rooted, and resilient. Before the meditation, Karen reflects on why connecting with our inner mother is essential on the path to becoming a rested woman. Whether you were well mothered or not, inner mothering allows you to offer yourself the unconditional love, care, and compassion you may have missed—and to rest from a place of wholeness. This practice is for all women—mothers and non-mothers alike—who want to rest more deeply, parent less reactively, and live more fully from the inside out.

This is a progressive relaxation technique known as body scanning. For relaxation and tension release from head to toe this practices is rooted in Yoga Nidra. May this support you in feeling deeper embodiment and presence.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake... In this episode, you are guided on a transformative journey into the Kabbalistic sefira of Netzach, the emanation of endurance, confidence, and eternity.  As the fourth of the seven lower divine emanations, Netzach represents the soul's relentless progression towards realization, transforming inspiration into flame. Through the practice of yoga nidra, you are invited to align with the eternal rhythm flowing within you, using breath and awareness to relax your body, mind, and soul and awaken the chords of confidence already within you.  This episode not only deepens your embodied understanding of Netzach, but also empowers you to harness your own resilience and vitality, providing a sense of cosmic eternity and the assurance that confidence resides within. Episode Summary: Here's what you can expect: Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. 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, body, and soul. Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a thorough body scan anchored in the theme of Netzach as you transition your consciousness into a state of deep healing rest.  Breath Awareness: Practice guided breathwork focusing on Right Nostril circular breathing  Polarities: Explore how you respond to contrasting experiences and train your body and mind to respond consciously rather than reactively.  Central Symbol:  Experience the concepts of Netzach through vivid metaphor in a state of the deepest rest.  Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier.

This week's episode offers a deeply restorative yoga nidra practice titled Body of Joy. Unlike other guided meditations previously shared on the podcast, this one invites you to lie in stillness - awake, aware, and fully relaxed out of the impulse to move. While yoga nidra is often used as a tool for rest, this practice is not for sleep but for remaining conscious in the liminal space of deep relaxation. It offers an exploration of the subtle body, guiding awareness through physical sensations, energetic qualities, and emotional tones to evoke a felt experience of joy and well-being.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.

My guest is Ryan Soave, LMHC, a leading expert in addiction recovery with extensive experience helping people heal from all types of substance and behavioral dependencies. We discuss actionable tools for breaking out of the addictive cycle and staying free of obsessions and compulsions. We also examine the relationship between trauma and addiction. We explore the full recovery process—from detoxing and physical stabilization to building distress tolerance. We review evidence-supported tools to structure your life at each stage of recovery and highlight the power of learning “self-directed state shifting” through yoga nidra (NSDR), breathwork, meditation and prayer. We explain how to recognize signs of addiction in yourself and others, and the treatment options available across all levels of resources, from residential programs to 12-step. If you or someone you know is struggling with any kind of addiction, this episode offers practical steps to break free and stay free. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

DAY TWENTY April Mindful Minutes challenge:YOGA NIDRA FOR SLEEPIn today's episode I'll guide you into a Yoga Nidra state of mind, which is yogic sleep.  The intention of this type of meditation is for your body to be as still as possible, lying down comfortably, and mind awake and aware, listening to a body scan and pauses to repeat your affirmation.  AND, you may choose to listen to this meditation before a nap or a good night's sleep.  YOGA NIDRA SETUPLay downCreate this time and space to be undisturbed or uninterrupted to allow the mind to enter the Yoga Nidra state of mind (eg. theta or delta brain waves)Make your room as dark and quiet as possibleIf you are not practicing this in bed to go to sleep for the night, consider setting an alarm because this meditation ends in silence.  CHECK-IN: Before and after each practice I will invite you to check in and rate your stress level from 0 - 5.  Note if the number changed after your meditation.0 = low5 = highEnjoy! Sweet dreams!⁠⁠Follow along daily for 30 days to create a meditation habit. ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Start anytime! To experience the cumulative benefits, practice daily, ideally at the same time every day.
