Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's ready to call the call? Take the leap and say it now, What sweet truth can you recall? Share something that you love about yourself. Don't play small or be modest. This is not a time to feed the ego but an opportunity to appreciate a part of yourself that you truly admire...

We know Ayla calls for you to use your five senses in what my training would call her induction as you relax. In hypnosis this is the key to successful visualization - bringing in all five senses. You have to be able to even taste the end goal. I think this is unique to Ayla's method and if we can bring those five senses in with us to our sankalpa in our minds eye..... But the challenge I think in Nidra is to bring them without dwelling on them. Just know they are there while you take the journey. IDK. Just some thoughts, my perspective so far. Subject to change as I progress.

'Living a balanced life' has changed for me over time. I used to put immense pressure on myself to maintain unattainable daily goals. Now, I recognize and honour the seasons of life and live in the integrity of where I am. What has supported me the most is remaining open and receptive to my Sankapla (my North Star) and disciplined in my practice (my anchor). As we complete today's practice, consider your current season and what 'living a balanced life' means to you. Share below and encourage others on their journey, too. Day Five | HERE
