I never imagined that this type of meditating could truly help me. Negative emotions and memories are consistently overwhelming me but this has really helped to regulate.......now have to work on these darn nightmares! But it could always be worse🫤

No surprise here, Ayla Nova is my top podcast another year in a row. Anyone else?? 😃 Sending love and gratitude to Ayla for sharing this practice 🙏 Now I’m doing my nidras on here which is by far a better experience since it brought me to this community where I get to connect with amazing people in real time (plus I love checking off the box after I finish!) But really goes to show here the accessibility of the yoga nidra practice - 1,520 mins of streaming that’s only like 2-3 sessions per month and what a difference that alone has made in my life 🤩🤩 (and this was only the first 3 months of the year before I joined the Peace in Rest program)

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!

Hi, my name is Peter. I am originally from Queens, New York but retired from the Army and currently living in Baltimore Maryland. 1 of my favorite quotes/verses For I will restore health to you and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord, because they called you an outcast: 'It is Zion, for whom no one cares!" Jeremiah 30:17

I can't believe we’re entering the final month of 2026. I read something yesterday that said it’s been six years since the beginning of the pandemic, and as much as I hate to revisit the lockdowns, quarantine, and all the uncertainty of that time, it’s impossible not to acknowledge how deeply it shaped us. It remains such a vivid mile marker and I’m floored by how different life is now. I also came across a line that made me laugh: “What a year this last week has been.” Honestly… truer words have never been spoken. Time is a total time warm: stretching, folding, condensing in ways we never quite expect. As this calendar year winds down, I find myself reflective, as I always am in December. I like to revisit the intentions I set at the beginning of the year, read back through old journal entries, and spend time with the many versions of myself I’ve been along the way. And with that, I can’t imagine a more perfect moment for our upcoming Chakra Series. Starting December 14th, this will be a much-needed reset and recalibration as we prepare to step into 2026 with intention, balance, and clarity. The newsletter tomorrow will have all the details!! I hope you’ll join us? ✨
