Need some help
Hi! Just started my Yoga Nidra journey few days ago! Been doing it a few times sporadically the least years Has any of you had experience in biting hard at night and jaw pain? Been to 3 different experts but no improvement Now I will try Yoga Nidra and see if this can solve the problemπŸ™πŸ» Have not had a good night sleep in so long If I tape my mouth at night, I bite harder. If I don’t I mouth breathe and I get a jaw lock during the night Just need some reinforcement that yoga Nidra can help with this! And hear if anyone has experienced something similar

My dentist used to ask me about that, and I didn't know what they were talking about. I started yoga nidra about 3 years ago to help with sleep apnea, so to some extent I can relate to what you're going through. Within a few months I discovered I did have a tendency to hold a lot of tension in the jaw muscles. All I can suggest is to stay with the practice. When describing it to newcomers, I like to say that the body has a long memory - one that our minds tend to forget - and yoga nidra is (in part) about uncovering those barriers that keep us from the good, healthy rest that we all deserve. You're in the right place!
When Holding On Was Once Necessary
Some things don’t release easily because they were once essential. ~Hyper vigilance kept you aware. ~Over-responsibility kept things functioning. ~Emotional guarding kept you from being hurt again. These patterns made sense at some point... Letting go doesn’t mean rejecting those parts of yourself. It means allowing them to rest now that the context has changed. Yoga Nidra supports this transition by helping the body clearly sense the present moment. Not the memory of danger, but the reality of now. As the nervous system registers safety, old strategies no longer need to remain active. ✨Self-Inquiry | What part of you has been working very hard for a very long time? SHARE below and consider.... where you might need to soften. *If it helps, first notice what is present in the body or emotional state, if you're not fully ready to name it.

@Paulina Szylin That's a great way to look at it .. the benefit we can provide to others through the process of being true to ourselves and learning what we're capable of, as opposed to the relatively small amount of comfort that we get from staying stuck or isolated or whatever the case may be.

@Ayla Nova Very well, actually .. thank you! I've learned that ultimately it's been the self sabotage holding me back more than anything else. But I hear there's a yoga nidra script for that too. Lol! πŸ˜…

Each center we explored this month is more than a symbol or assignment. It’s the body’s intelligence. ❀️ Safety felt by the root 🧑 Emotion felt by the sacral πŸ’› Agency felt by the solar πŸ’š Connection felt by the heart πŸ’™ Expression felt by the throat 🩡 Clarity felt by the third eye πŸ’œ Presence felt by the crown Together, they are one system.

My month started out with a focus on safety and agency .. until the universe reminded me through my own eyes and ears that I already had those. πŸ˜‚ So I'm preparing for 2026 much like I did for 2024 and 2025 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 8th Chakra πŸ•‰οΈ
How to do yoga nidra when unwell, coughing etc
I have caught a nasty virus. My head and neck are aching, I am exhaussted and have a frequent cough. As a result, particularly because of the coughing, I haven't been able to stay still for long. Any suggestions on how to do yoga nidra in such circumstances? I really need it right now but haven't been able to do it for a few days. Thank you!

The preparation for yoga nidra involves getting as comfortable as possible .. so if it were me, OTC remedies: cough suppressant, Aleve, and a lot of Vicks vapo-rub under the nose to help with any congestion. Herbal tea and then go for it. Hope you get some good rest and feel better soon!
Coffee nidra β˜•οΈ ?
Every once in a while I like to take a nice "coffee nap". For those who haven't heard of such a thing: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-hygiene/coffee-nap Anyone tried combining this with a yoga nidra session? I'd be interested to hear your experiences!
