Warm Fall Greetings to you all!
I hope you are managing as well as possible in these tumultuous times
You may be in the same boat as many of us, finding an exacerbation of your unhealed wounds, both known and previously unknown, in this unprecedented age.
The energy of the moment is quite intense and causing all manner of emotions and old traumas to flare. Add to that worry about health and this virus, disruptions to life and social connections, political angst, and financial concerns and we have a perfect storm for dis-ease.
Maybe also, like me, you find yourself getting hopeful about online events that are offering ways out of the suffering -things that speak to your dis-ease- and then simply not finding the energy to check them out due to overwhelm.
"Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as
inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental,
as though having lost
the will or the vision to demand that which is good?"
- Rachel Carson (Silent Spring)
My belief is that we must act to intentionally temper the busy-ness, fear and worry with deep and restorative rest.
To effectively rest so that we can wake up and do good work!
Living steeped in stress, busy-ness, fear and worry can become a habit-a very energetically expensive, depleting and destructive one, leaving us weak and functioning at suboptimal levels. This is not EVER desirable, but especially detrimental now when immune system health is so essential.
A report a couple of years ago suggested that 86% of Americans were sleep deprived -BEFORE all this.
You can be assured that we are suffering from sleep deprivation now more than ever.
So many of us are living in survival mode-
"chronic, well armored hopelessness"...and while that is understandable, there is still something simple you can do to give the overwrought nervous system a break!
YOGA NIDRA!!
I know!
How can NOT doing something solve anything ??
Why do I keep offering this to you, month after month, year after year??
For several reasons:
~BECAUSE IT IS ESSENTIAL TO HELP US OUT OF THIS MESS!!
We cannot heal from a place of depletion!
~ Because as Albert Einstein says:
" you cannot solve a problem using the same consciousness that created it".
~ and because we are exhausting ourselves by spinning the wheels of worry and fear;
while quite understandable, it is hurting us and NOT helping, but instead, throwing us profoundly out of energetic balance
By reallocating resources for healing, by releasing emotional blocks that may be draining you under your cognitive radar, by guiding you to drop in to finally turn off survival mode and rest and recover,
after only 90 minutes, you can have more space, bandwidth, patience and clarity about how to best manage this unbelievable mess we all find ourselves in.
AND in the process, maybe release some of the old trauma stored in the subconscious, simply by making space for it to move out, allowing for optimal immune function and greater mental, physical, emotional and spiritual balance.
These are just some of the reasons that I'm continuing bimonthly live yoga nidra sessions via zoom that are donation based.
We begin each session with some simple energy practices and meditation to ensure deep rest, followed by a 60 minute yoga nidra
Please consider joining us and letting yourself rest
Your deep rest and healing is for the benefit and healing of all of us!🙏💕😴
