Through serendipity, I experienced Karen's cleansing yoga nidra session in person during a period of intense personal transition. While I was prepared for the deep relaxation and peace that is the blessing of yoga nidra, I was not expecting the healing grace that touched my journey through her caring guidance and has allowed me to move forward with hope and gratitude. The world needs more people like Karen!

FAQs
-
Yoga Nidra, often called "yogic sleep," is a guided meditation practice that helps you enter a state of deep relaxation and rest while remaining awake. It allows the body and mind to unwind completely, promoting healing, balance, and self-awareness.
-
Yoga Nidra is practiced by lying down in a comfortable position, usually on your back, with support like blankets or cushions for added comfort. A guide leads you through a series of steps, including body awareness, breathwork, visualization, and intention-setting, to help you enter a meditative state between wakefulness and sleep. The practice requires no physical effort, making it accessible to everyone.
-
Yoga Nidra offers numerous benefits, such as:
Reducing stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system.
Enhancing sleep quality and combating insomnia.
Promoting physical and emotional healing.
Increasing clarity, focus, and creativity.
Cultivating a deeper sense of inner peace and self-awareness.
-
Rest goes beyond sleep; it’s about intentionally stepping away from life’s demands to replenish your energy, reconnect with yourself, and nurture your well-being. Rest is a radical act of self-care that creates space for healing, creativity, and balance, allowing you to live more fully aligned with your natural rhythms.
-
Daring to Rest is a transformative approach to rest based on Yoga Nidra and self-discovery created by Karen Brody. It’s a guided journey that empowers individuals to reclaim rest as a necessity, not a luxury, and to explore its profound effects on their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. As a certified Daring to Rest facilitator, I help people break free from exhaustion and burnout, reconnect with themselves, and embrace a more rested and fulfilled life.
-
While traditional meditation often involves concentration or mindfulness techniques, Yoga Nidra guides you into a state of conscious relaxation where you hover between wakefulness and sleep. Unlike regular sleep, Yoga Nidra helps you access deeper layers of awareness, allowing for profound healing and restoration. It’s a practice of "dynamic rest" that calms the mind and restores the body without requiring the effort of other meditative practices.
