Please join me in giving a heartfelt welcome to Sam, who will be supporting Cat and me behind the scenes as we continue to nurture this beautiful community! A little bit about Sam: 🚗 He’s a huge car enthusiast. 🏸 He’s competed at the state level in badminton (so yes, he’s got a competitive streak... and a compassionate heart!) 🧘‍♂️ Meditation has been woven into his life since before he was even born — his mom meditated daily throughout her pregnancy, nurturing the calm energy he naturally carries. After connecting with Sam, I can truly say his energy is welcoming, steady, and filled with genuine kindness. He embodies the spirit of Nova Nidra: peaceful, grounded, and open-hearted. ✨ Let’s make Sam feel at home! ✨ Drop a comment below and share one of your favourite passions or hobbies — maybe you’ll discover something you have in common with him!

hello - you might not know me - please be kind - writing this is hugely painful - literally - my hand barely work because they dont want this written and the pain is indescribable - i have complex ptsd - from a lifetime Of abuse that now i just seem to invite - i laugh about it but every day is s painful i am basically hoping to die - this community has been life changing, i met amazing people and have absolutely loved sharing stuff - and (not but) I have learned something - those of us who grow out abuse and trauma are not like you - we do not have your references and kindnesses - the ground of trauma is horrible - i hope you dont have it - it changes everything - it is why we can never be friends - because we are always weird - because someone took away our chance to grow and be happy - and we will always be stuck - wanting to be loved and knowing we cannot - I know this id not my usual stuff - I always want to raise smile - who doesn’t want a larf - but please, know that the pain it grows out of is deep, searing and endless

This week we are celebrating a special milestone as we welcome twenty-five new members! Which brings us to over FIVE HUNDRED beautiful souls in this community! 🚀 This is a reflection of the energy, and shared intention that have drawn each of us here. And in that spirit, we recognize this as both a ceremony and a celebration. The ceremony is inward: a pause to honor the roots we've planted. It's in the stillness, the breath, the small choices made with presence in and out of our practice. The celebration is outward: a recognition of growth, of connection, of what’s possible when people gather with openness and heart. To those who’ve been here from the early days, and to those just arriving-- we welcome you with open arms. Your being here matters. As we mark this moment, I invite you to ponder any or all: ✨ What have you discovered, shifted, or softened since arriving? ✨ What are you holding space for as we continue forward? ✨ How do you celebrate your growth? Help me give a very warm welcome to our newest Nidra Fam! 💖 • @Lara Abellan Ortiz • @Cielo Vida • @Debbie Martino • @Alexander Barbara • @Sara Bacon • @Elikem Carey • @Francesca Moroney • @Daphne Flores • @Tara Lupton • @Isabella Mori • @Ruth Salgado • @Eric Trump • @Chris Burfield • @Rick Weber • @Lou Blokowski • @Vesna Python • @Linda Hathaway • @Karen Bodger • @Purcella S • @Shannon Lesniewski • @Mj Scott • @Monica Fierro • @Deleted • @Heather Trotter • @Erik Joakim Enderberg •

Good time zone everyone! I am a little curious if anyone here is familiar with the concept of body-doubling. It is commonly attributed with ADHD, as a method of encouraging/motivating someone to get the thing done! I've been struggling to do my Yoga Nidra sessions. Including just passing out instead of being mindful and setting up the session. For context: I have complex sleep apnea and when I sleep without my mask, it actually does more harm then good and I wake up feeling downtrodden. Has anyone here ever considered doing body-doubling with a community member to motivate them to do it as well? I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts.

This Saturday, the Full Pink Moon graces us in the harmonious sign of Libra. Known as the first full moon of spring, it's a potent moment for reflection, release, and renewal.​ Libra, ruled by Venus, emphasizes balance, beauty, and relationships. This lunar event invites us to examine our connections and seek equilibrium in our lives. It's an ideal time to let go of what no longer serves us and to foster healing in our relationships. 🌸 Reflective Prompts: - What patterns or habits are you ready to release?​ - Which relationships in your life could benefit from healing or closure?​ - How can you create more balance and harmony within yourself?​ SHARE your thoughts below! 💞 Consider incorporating a Yoga Nidra or Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) practice to support your journey during this full moon.
