When was the last time you let your body do the healing by doing less? We invite you to lie down, soften your gaze inward, and experience a guided Yoga Nidra—yogic sleep—that helps release tension, restore the nervous system, and reconnect you with a quiet source of renewal. This practice anchors our October theme, rituals of restoration, and it’s crafted to be accessible: no props required, no experience needed, just a few minutes of uninterrupted stillness.
We start by setting a simple intention—restoration, peace, or renewal—then guide you through a precise body scan that travels from fingers and wrists through shoulders, down to toes and hips, and up through the pelvis, chest, back, neck, and crown. As attention flows part by part, the mind unwinds and the body recognizes safety, easing you toward the restorative parasympathetic state. If seated meditation feels hard, this lying-down approach can be a welcome doorway into deep rest.
The core takeaway is simple and radical: restoration isn’t something you earn; it’s your birthright. Use this session as an evening wind-down, a midday reset, or a weekend ritual to replenish your energy and reconnect with purpose.
If the practice supports you, share it with a friend who could use a gentle reset. Subscribe for weekly practices and reflections, leave a review to help others find the show, and tell us: what intention are you carrying into your next moment?
