🌙 The Paradox of Rest... and Awakening
New piece on Yoga Nidra that's close to my heart... exploring how the deepest transformation from surrendering.
Weaved in the article is ancient philosophy, my own healing journey through a rare leukemia, and the radical act of rest in our achievement-obsessed culture. I dive into how Yoga Nidra sits at the intersection of Shiva (pure awareness) and Shakti (creative force), and why lying down might be one of the most powerful practices we have.
The piece explores:
- The myth of Vishnu resting on the cosmic ocean while worlds are born
- The Five koshas (Layers of Being) we move through in stillness
- How my relationship with Yoga Nidra shifted from fascination to medicine
- Why rest reveals both light and shadow... and why we need both
One line that kept coming back to me:
"To rest in the deepest 'Self', one must first seek. Yet to seek too hard is to miss the rest."
I'm curious...
