Why Letting Go Can Feel Impossible
Many believe they haven’t let go because they haven’t made the effort.
But often, the opposite is true.
Letting go feels impossible when the nervous system is still interpreting something as a threat.
The body doesn’t release danger through logic.
It releases danger through safety.
If your shoulders won’t drop, your jaw stays clenched, or your breath feels shallow, your body may still be protecting you from something that once mattered deeply.
Yoga Nidra doesn’t ask the body to change.
It creates conditions where change can happen naturally.
When the body enters deep rest, the vagus nerve activates.
Heart rate slows. Breathing deepens. Muscles receive the signal that it’s safe to soften.
This is why release often happens after rest, not before it.
✨ Reflection
Instead of asking “Why can’t I let this go?”
Try asking, “What would help my body feel safe enough to soften?”
