Na’aleh Yoga Podcast: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+
Yoga Nidra audio journeys for deep rest and restoration by Ruthie Ayzenberg. Close Your Eyes and Be Awake... Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative practice where your body is in a state of deep sleep, while your mind remains awake. This state creates the conditions for nervous system repair and natural healing for the body and mind opening the doors to increased calmness, clarity, creativity, hormonal and metabolic benefits, and emotional resolution. All you have to do is listen to the guided audio and try to stay awake. Keep in mind that this podcast is created with deference to both Yogic teachings and Torah compliance to the best of my knowledge. *Yoga *Yoga Nidra *Meditation *Healing *Mental Health *Spirituality *Jewish *NDSR Non-Sleep Deep Rest *Health *Mindfulness *Therapy *Sleep *Guided meditation *Relaxation support *Consciousness *Body Scan
