What’s one challenge you’re currently facing in your practice? How can you see this community supporting you?

I listened to Day 1 again, Ayla, and again noticed the phrase "felt experience." What do you mean by this? Is it more than just saying, "I felt something"?

Hello - I wonder if anyone else is struggling (or perhaps has done so previously and has helpful experience) of the sankalpa triggering a violent inner critic response? Even something as ‘simple’ as ‘I am’ … well, if you have a powerful inner critic everything is a target. I hope most of you haven’t because it is horrible. Am finding it getting worse (though maybe you have to raiser the beast to fight it) and often spend the first third of the session recovering. The sankalpa reprise is often calmer Perhaps this simply where I am just now. Thank you for reading this

As you lead listeners into a session, you say "close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so." I can't imagine not closing my eyes, but it sounds as though some people do not want to close their eyes. Have you encountered people who proceed with eyes open?

What sort of intersection do you see between yoga nidra and meditation?
