You are loved, just as you are! I'll get this started! 🖤✨ Ayla here! Living in Kelowna, BC. My favourite quote is always changing… and lately, it is one from Voltaire. “Man is free at the moment he wishes to be”

But I'm not the only one... I like to imagine a world where we’re living, moment by moment, in our own bodies. Because the world we experience is shaped by the state we live from. I created a Yoga Nidra for a World of Peace…so that, together, we can begin to embody that energy within ourselves and ripple it outward. This practice is a space to remember what it feels like to feel safe… to breathe… to be… just as you are. If you feel that same vision in you, you’re not alone. You’re welcome to step into the practice with me inside the ✧☽ Nova Nidra Vault. ⇒ ONE HOUR | Nova Nidra for a World of Peace A space of ongoing Yoga Nidra practices, live gatherings, and a growing library to return to when you need it. If it calls to you, you can join as a VIP supporter.

On stillness, dreaming, and what opens when the static quiets. ❤️🧡💛💚---🩵---💙💜🤍 There is a reason it can feel hard to dream clearly when life feels noisy. When the nervous system is overloaded, inner life gets crowded out. Our dreaming doesn't stop, but in some ways, there is too much static for us to be with them. The body is busy monitoring and managing. Energy is spent simply on getting through. In that state, imagination can flatten. Dream recall can fade, and our intuition can feel far away. 🩵 Rest is the condition that allows subtle perception to return 🩵 When your system calms, inner vision becomes possible again. And I don't mean fantasy in the escapist sense, but inner seeing — a clearer relationship with symbol, longing, direction, and deeper truth. Yoga Nidra supports this by giving the body a structured experience of surrender. A safe container in which awareness remains present, and no longer has to work so hard. And from that place, dreaming becomes possible in more than one sense. Night dreams may become more vivid. Inner imagery may become more accessible. Creativity is ushered to return. A felt sense of what is next may begin to form. This is one of the miracles... the charm, if you will, of the practice. 🍀 It reminds us that vision does not have to be forced and that sometimes it appears after we finally stop pushing. To dream with Yoga Nidra is to trust that conscious rest can restore not only the body, but the imagination. Not only the nervous system, but the inner world. Not only sleep, but also possibility. This is my favorite yoga nidra to tap into that: THIRD EYE YOGA NIDRA You can access it as a Premium or VIP Supporter... or as a one-time investment for the whole chakra series. I AM HERE to dream with you!

One of the reasons dreams have fascinated people across so many cultures is because they rarely speak in straightforward language. Dreams tend to arrive in symbols. A house. A river. A staircase. A storm. An animal. A child. A doorway. Whhhhhat does this remind you of!? Any guesses? SHARE Below... My Peace in Rest Members you have a slight advantage here. These images often carry emotional truth, even when they don’t make logical sense. And that’s important, because not all truth arrives logically. Some truths are symbolic before they are verbal... Some truths are carried in image because the deeper mind is not trying to explain itself, fam... it is trying to reveal itself. Yoga Nidra often opens this symbolic layer. As the body enters a state of profound rest, awareness loosens from its usual mental habits. The mind becomes less literal. Inner imagery becomes more available. This is part of why guided imagery can be so powerful in the practice./ Imagery is communication. A lake, a cave, the moon, light moving through the body, a path through a forest. These are not simply... “nice visuals.” They speak to deeper structures in the psyche and nervous system. They offer the body something to organize around. Something safe, spacious, and resonant... some even activating or awakening. We do not need to over-interpret every symbol that arises! LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN! We do not need to over-interpret every symbol that arises! But we can learn to honour them. To notice what returns. To feel where an image lands in the body. Anyone curious where all this dream talk is leading!?

🚨Vulnerable Share Alert🚨 Lately I’ve been moving through something that has been bringing up a lot of old feelings in me. Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing some deeper parts work, and it’s opened up new realizations about my relationship with my family and how much of my life has quietly been shaped around other people. It’s been a heartbreaking thing to see clearly. Even as a 36-year-old woman, I can recognize how often I’ve been posturing my life around the needs, emotions, or expectations of others. Call it people-pleasing. Call it codependency. Call it mother wounds. Whatever the label, I’m starting to see the ways my upbringing influenced the trajectory of my life in ways I hadn’t fully acknowledged before. For a while I was in the blame stage. Feeling like a victim who had just been along for the ride. But over the last couple of weeks, something has shifted and I think I’m ready to move into the next part of the story. One of the hardest things I’ve had to accept recently is that my own mother may never be able to support me in the ways I’ve always hoped she would. And strangely… there has been a kind of freedom in that realization. Because the beautiful thing about being in a community like this one is that we are not limited to the wisdom of the family we were born into. There are so many people here who have walked similar thresholds before us. So I’m coming here honestly and vulnerably to ask: If you’ve navigated something similar (especially my fellow eldest daughters out there) I would love to hear from you. What helped you step out of the patterns you inherited? What helped you reclaim your own life? Any wisdom, reflections, or hard-won lessons… I’m very open to receiving right now. 🤍
