Yesterday I was a bit anxious about my financial security when I retire in a few years. I have been struggling to comprehend pensions, etc. Today, in my Nidra, when visualising, a little plump robin came to my left side, in my mind's eye. And I sensed a butterfly too. I asked the robin why he/she was visiting and what he/she wanted to say, and I heard in my mind "you do not have to worry about the future- it is all taken care of'. I felt the delicate presence of family members who had passed- delicate fleeting glimpses of faces I love- and afterwards I felt great peace and hope.

This very moment is the perfect teacher, and lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.

Close your eyes for a moment. Visualize stepping into your inner sanctuary—a space that is entirely yours. 🌸 Is it nestled in the forest? 🌊 by the ocean? 🏔️ atop a mountain peak? 🕊️ Maybe it’s a cozy, quiet room with the soft glow of candlelight. Allow your sanctuary to reflect your heart, a space where you feel completely safe, deeply rested, and entirely yourself. 🌀 In Yoga Nidra, we are often guided to discover an inner haven—a place you can return to whenever life feels overwhelming. It’s not just a visualization; it’s a connection to your true essence, a place of profound peace and restoration. For most of my life, I thought running away would solve my pain, but it wasn't until I was forced to be still that I discovered the oasis I had avoided within. ✨ What does your inner sanctuary look like? ✨ Can you see it, hear it, feel it? ✨ If you’re not sure yet, it’s okay—sometimes the journey to discovering it is the most beautiful part. What Does Your Inner Sanctuary Look Like? SHARE in the comments or hold the vision in your heart.

Hi everyone and happy new year (in whatever way a happy 2025 looks). I want to share this video with you on a model of adaptive neurology in the brain that (in my view - you don’t have to agree) gives a quite potent argument for self care through acts such as yoga nidra for us and those who come after us. It also points to the need for societal stuff to improve lives among marginalised and underserved populations. That is, why self care must not be hijacked as a middle class luxury. https://youtu.be/jFYRcjPWSgA?si=xqIC1EYbRVI-TZEO The presenter has published a paper in a good scientific journal that gives further details for the major geeks among us - easy to find online Always lots to think about … Peace and light 🙏🏻
