41. Yoga Nidra for Rosh Hashanah: Field of Compassion (30 mins)

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.

• 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.
