Tomorrow the Nova Nidra Teacher Training officially begins. Tomorrow is also a new moon, and a total solar eclipse in Leo — a new beginning stacked on top of a new beginning. I don't take this kind of timing lightly, whether or not you put stock in it astrologically. New moons mark starts. Eclipses mark thresholds you don't fully see the other side of yet. Tomorrow, a new group of guides begins exactly there... right at the threshold, trusting what's on the other side without needing to see all of it first. Rest well tonight. Tomorrow is a real beginning.

THANK YOU to everyone who signed up! This offer is now Closed. I will be reaching out to all of you with questions about your Yoga Nidra journey and to bring you into the 5-Day LIVE Experience. Most of us were taught there's one way to rest. Lie down, close your eyes, hope for the best. But there isn't one state of rest... There are five. AND the state that's out of balance for you is usually the one thing keeping you from actually feeling restored, no matter how much you sleep. I'm running a live 5-Day Experience starting Monday, August 3, where I'll guide you through a 20-minute yoga nidra practice each day — one for each of the five states of rest. Here's what each day will hold: Day 1: Safety. Settle your nervous system and remember what it feels like to be at ease in your own body. Day 2: Release the grip of holding it all together and let emotion move the way it was designed to. Day 3: Reconnect with your inner steadiness, the part of you that chooses, rather than reacts. Day 4: Soften into the deeper intelligence beneath your thinking mind and let it guide you. Day 5: Integrate all five states and feel what it's like when your whole system works together. 5 days. 5 ways to regulate. 5 states of rest. By day five, you'll know exactly which state you've been missing, and how to come back to it on your own. The details: This would normally be $497. For this round, it's free. It is LIVE ONLY... not recorded. If you can't attend live, this isn't the round for you. Spots are limited. How to join: comment the word STATES below. That's your entry. This closes Friday, July 31 at 12 PM — after that, the door shuts. Comment STATES now if you're in.

However you're spending today, I'm glad you're here for The Flame Keeper. Drop a 🔥 if you're joining us today. This is for the ones who hold the light for everyone else [ sharp-minded, self-aware, always quietly working ] and rarely get to put it down. Today, that's exactly what we practice: permission to be held instead of holding. If today isn't your day, that's alright too. There will be more doors. But I wanted today to be seen and named.

Come as you are. No preparation needed! Just show up ready to tend what needs tending. This is built for anyone who understands so much and is still, somehow, quietly exhausted. Permission to put the flame down for a while. To be held instead of holding everything yourself.
