Just as much of nature lies dormant, recharging for a new season, humans are designed to respond to the season in a similar way. We have a natural inclination to retreat indoors, sleep more and socialize less.
This allows us the opportunity to rest, reset and recharge.
I invite you to embrace this mid winter season by coming together in a small group to create a blessing/connection cord in the Buddhist tradition, rest deeply in the practice of Yoga Nidra and share a cup of hot tea.
The blessing/connection cord is a symbol for the sacred thread that connects all life. The red cord we will use represents the thread from the robe of a blessed monk/nun. Together we will tie 3 knots in the cord to represent refuge, compassion & kindness. You will then be able to wear the cord around your neck, wrist or choose to keep somewhere visible and meaningful to you.
The Yoga Nidra practice, also known as Divine or Yogic Sleep will provide an opportunity to take a mental/visual journey into a white winter landscape and deeply rest in the state of pure awareness beyond thinking.
Yoga Nidra, “divine sleep” is not really sleeping at all but a verbally guided, deep relaxation experience done fully clothed, lying comfortably on your back. This practice can help to alleviate chronic stress & anxiety, sleep issues and promote overall health & well-being.
On a deeper, spiritual level the practice can provide insight into ourselves, habits & lives.
There will be time for share a cup of hot tea and space to share your thoughts and experience after the practice.
You will leave the experience with
*a blessing/connection cord,
*a deeper understanding of the practice of Yoga Nidra,
*a short Yoga Nidra recording to use on your own,
*a sample of my newest blend of essential oils called Winter’s Night.
Advanced registration is required. Please invite a friend and text me @ (315) 244 3550 to reserve your spots or with any questions.
I can’t wait to share this time with you.
