39. Yoga Nidra Sankalpa/Kavanah Exploration: Awakening Your Resolve (30 mins)

NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

This practice guides you into an extended alpha brainwave state of complete relaxation, from which your guiding resolve can begin to awaken. 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.
