Rest as Revolution... 💃❤️

WOW.... here is from a few years ago.....Iceland... the coolest and coldest place I have ever been to...... what a treat to live there and experience that in your backyard xx

Hi Ayla, I have many thoughts, here are a few..... Firstly the nidras have been a Godsend quite literally but I don't feel that I constantly need new ones, I am very happy to listen to the same one over and over and over. When I have had a migraine attack I have literally had you on a 24 hour loop and I have no idea what you are saying at all. Secondly, I loved the 20 minutes ones, I do them after yoga practice in the 30 minutes I have before I begin teaching and they are prefect. Since they are quite short then I prefer more variety in those. I am conscious of the dilemma of providing so much without you getting remuneration. One of the downside post covid for me as a yoga teacher is that people almost expected things on-line for free, or donation, or just because and of course you have to make a living and people just don't want to pay and why not, there is so much for free. Also I found that a lot of people went on-line and under valued the teachings, often people with very little experience but great at lights, camera, action. There is this lovely nidra paradox of providing stuff for free to get visibility and charging so that a teacher can live in the world, It is one of the reasons why there are SO many TT and workshops, it is the only way yoga teachers can survive. So I guess my personal thought is how you provide things and yet receive value yourself for all of your time and energy, quite rightly. I am not on social media, loathe it actually, loathe tech in general but I have enjoyed the possibility of an on-line community but because it is so anti where I believe humans should be then I find it hard to contribute and so I end up reading and taking more than giving. I think community really works when everyone does their bit or at least it moves in ups and downs where you give and then you lean in etc etc so the community aspect is great but it does need a community commitment also. From a developing scripts point of view then I would value lovely little ideas for way to present things or repertoires of phrases which give an idea to play with or an idea for a visualisation but not enough where we copy but enough where we can run with it and create something new.

If pain is a fire alarm, muscle guarding is the sprinkler system. Useful in emergencies, exhausting when left on. so nice
