A self paced 8 week Meditation & Wellbeing course
based on iRest yoga nidra (R)
Life has felt hard lately.
You may be feeling the impact of the last two years – you may be feeling tired, feel worn down, feel less able to face the daily challenges of life.
Or you may simply feel that something is missing – that there could be more to life than what you have right now. You might just want to feel that life could be easier and lived with more ease.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d love you to join me for this 8 week Meditation & Wellbeing course based on iRest ® yoga nidra meditation.
What is iRest yoga nidra meditation?
“iRest is a meditation practice based on the ancient tradition of Yoga Nidra and adapted to suit the conditions of modern life. When practiced regularly - little and often - iRest enables you to meet each moment of your life with unshakable peace and wellbeing, no matter how challenging or difficult your situation”
(from the iRest.US website).
I personally love iRest yoga nidra as it is a kind practice. We are encouraged to welcome ourselves just as we are, rather than being encouraged to change or fix anything about ourselves. When I was introduced to iRest in my yoga teacher training, I felt like I had come “home”. And that is in a way what iRest does, it supports us to return to our essential nature, our home base of Being.
And the beauty of iRest yoga nidra meditation is that the meditations are done lying down – we don’t even have to hold ourselves up into a meditation seat – a real barrier for many people.
The benefits of iRest yoga nidra include:
· Settling the nervous system so you feel more relaxed and calmer
· Creating spaciousness where before you might have felt overwhelm and too busy
· Learning to listen to your body signals in a much more subtle way so you can listen more deeply
· Discerning all the things which are moving (body sensations, breath, emotions, thoughts) from that which is not moving (an underlying presence of you that is always calm and at ease)
· Exploring purpose and meaning with an exploration of our Heart Felt Desire, what we want from life more than anything else
· Finding and anchoring a place within us which is safe and secure and full of comfort and ease (no matter how challenging life is being)
