Feel one with your special spirit tree.

Yoga Nidra, also known as "yogic sleep," is a powerful and deeply relaxing practice that can promote healing and restoration for the nervous system. It is a guided meditation technique that brings the practitioner into a state of conscious awareness between wakefulness and sleep.

This practice lasts around 22 minutes. During this time, the body is completely relaxed while the mind remains alert.

In this Yoga Nidra practice, specifically composed for healing the nervous system, it's essential to focus on relaxation, calming the mind, and releasing tension.

Enjoy!

Indeed, the concepts of purity and impurity are often associated with the human experience. They can be understood in various contexts, such as morality, spirituality, and personal growth. Let's explore these concepts further.

Purity generally refers to being untainted, uncontaminated, or free from moral, physical, or spiritual flaws. It often implies a sense of cleanliness, integrity, and righteousness. In a moral sense, purity may involve adhering to ethical principles and acting in a virtuous manner. It can also relate to maintaining a clear conscience and being free from guilt or wrongdoing.

Impurity, conversely, signifies a state of contamination, corruption, or a departure from what is considered pure. It can manifest as moral failings, unethical behaviour, or actions that harm oneself or others. Impurity may also refer to a lack of spiritual alignment or being influenced by negative emotions, thoughts, or intentions.

The idea that purity and impurity live within us suggests that human beings possess both virtuous and flawed aspects. It acknowledges the complex nature of human existence, acknowledging that individuals have the capacity for both good and bad actions, thoughts, and intentions. It recognizes the inherent duality within us, where we can exhibit kindness and compassion while also experiencing moments of selfishness or negativity.

Furthermore, this concept implies that achieving purity or overcoming impurity is a continual process rather than a fixed state. It suggests that individuals have the potential to cultivate purity by engaging in self-reflection, personal growth, and ethical behaviour. By consciously examining our thoughts, emotions, and actions, we can strive to reduce impurity and foster positive qualities within ourselves.

It's important to note that the interpretation of purity and impurity may vary across different cultural, religious, and philosophical perspectives. Ideas surrounding these concepts can be subjective and influenced by individual beliefs, societal norms, and personal values.

Bring the warmth of a tea candle and the attention of your loving heart to prepare the soil to bloom this Springtime.

Imagine that your body and mind are like a garden, waiting to bloom with new ideas, creativity, and positivity. Visualize this garden within you, full of potential and ready to burst forth. Take a moment to reflect on any old thought patterns, habits, or emotions that no longer serve you. Acknowledge them without judgment, and then visualise them gently floating away like leaves in the wind. Picture yourself surrounded by the energy of spring, feeling the warmth of the sun and the nourishment of the earth. Embrace the sense of possibility and growth that comes with this season. Take a moment to express gratitude for the upcoming spring and for the opportunity to grow and evolve alongside nature.

We are all responsible for everything that happens around us, because we have to be responsible for what's in our minds, and we can only change our surroundings if we are first prepared to change ourselves.

As part of Ho'oponopono, we learn to heal everything by taking full responsibility for what surrounds us - confession, repentance, and reconciliation. In essence, it represents Compassion in Action because it arises from a deep sense of interconnection, of the inter-being of us all, which makes me feel like no matter what has happened, I am part of it and I bear responsibility for it in some way.

The practice of Ho'oponopono invites you to:

• Step 1: Repentance – SAY: I'M SORRY. ...
• Step 2: Ask Forgiveness – SAY: PLEASE FORGIVE ME. ...
• Step 3: Gratitude – SAY: THANK YOU. ...
• Step 4: Love – SAY: I LOVE YOU.

With this meditation, you will have the opportunity to connect with the heart chakra - Anahata. Compassion, empathy, and love are all associated with this chakra. 

In Sanskrit, Anahata means 'unstruck sound' and is represented by the element of air and the colour green. It is also represented by a lotus flower.

Ayurveda uses the principles of nature's five elements, known as the 'Panchamabhuta'  (the theory of five great elements). Based on the Panchamabhuta concept, everything in physical creation comprises five basic elements that makeup nature. The five elements are earth, air, water, fire, and space.

According to Ayurveda, space, or Akash, is the most delicate element of nature. It is believed by Ayurveda that Akash, or space, was the first element to come into existence.

In this Yoga Nidra meditation, you will be guided to explore the space within.

Enjoy!

Patience is not always present in our lives, but we can exercise the patience muscle.

Relaxing in nature can help us develop a deeper level of appreciation for our environment and our surroundings. 

In this meditation, you will be taking a moment for yourself by the side of a tranquil lake. The smoothness of the water can greatly help relieve stress and anxiety, improve focus, and boost feelings of happiness and well-being. 

You will also have a chance to ponder on your reflection.

With the support of this short guided Yoga Nidra meditation practice, anyone can add rejuvenating tranquillity to their busy schedule.

“Sometimes there is a seed in your heart. It might feel like a stone, or like a bud ready to blossom. It might feel like a heavy little egg, and you have no idea what's inside. It might feel like a hard, burning ember. No seed is the same. But if you let that seed, that feeling-sound, take root, then it will grow. Sometimes it grows quickly, or sometimes very slowly, especially if you don't tend it. It could take months or even years to grow up through your throat and out your mouth. But when you do finally speak it, the birds call that a heart-song.”  ― 

Katherine Catmull, Summer and Bird

This lovely quote expresses my feelings about what we plant in our hearts and how it can blossom. 

On this Yoga Nidra meditation, we work with the Heart Chakra, Anahata chakra preparing for the springtime to come.

During the winter months, we eat heavier foods and might have done less physical activity accumulate. This can make us feel a bit heavier and more lethargic. A typical consequence of an increase of the Kapha dosha, according to Ayurveda.   

The Kapha dosha is comprised of the Water and Earth elements. Therefore it's heavy and also related to the fluids in our bodies. During the spring Kapha 'melts' and starts moving. If we exercise and cleanse our bodies, Kapha will leave our bodies and we'll enjoy the Springtime totally. If we don't do that, we might suffer from stronger hay fever, heaviness of body and mind and colds or flu.  In the mind and emotions, an excess Kapha may make you feel suspicious of others or have a tendency to hoard material things. 

You are stable, supported and grounded. 

By working to expand the energy in the body, we aim to create lasting balance throughout the entire system.  The Kapha dosha, when balanced influences our strength and stamina. It can give us a sense of security and stability of the mind and emotions. When the Kapha dosha is balanced, you will have a sweet and caring nature, your spirit will be contented and patient, and your heart will be full of generosity and receptivity.  

This Yoga Nidra meditation is to balance the Kapha dosha.   

Memory is a funny thing. It's very personal and not always accurate. However, it can be exercised and improved.

On this Yoga Nidra meditation, we visit our recent past and then travel to our origins.

Jog your memory!

Each stage of our lives leaves an imprint and makes us what we are today. Our younger selves sometimes come to the surface when things out of the ordinary happen. We might react to something by crying like a baby, responding like a teenager or laughing it off. We might not even know where it came from. The where is from our past experiences and form what we know.

Being able to observe our feelings and emotions empower us not to identify with them. Sometimes we can even change the course of things by influencing our ourselves form a position of knowledge and balance.

This meditation is dedicated to my friend Geraldine.

In 2020 I had to create classes and offerings on the go, there was no real plan and I did my best to provide support and fun to my yoga community. 

In 2021, I am able to give you a wider outlook of what I am doing.

I had a few chats with people about how do my classes and workshops work; whether the live online classes are any different to doing classes on Instagram; what’s on offer; do I send recordings of the classes or not… You get the picture, lots of loose ends.

Wanting to tie the loose ends and show you the type of net I am trying to build to provide you with support, knowledge, a space for reflection and a bit of work with your body too, I did this podcast.

Allow me to re-introduce myself to you and share with you about my Yoga and Ayurveda journey.

This is the first Yoga Nidra of 2021. 

On this meditation, after connecting with the body and the breath, I guide you to visualise your desires.

It's very important to have wishes and dream big. During this process, we need to learn to select what will bring forth the best of ourselves.

Finally, to find true contentment we must learn to detach ourselves from the outcome of our dreams. 

Developing the mental flexibility to adapt and accept what is, will contribute greatly to our happiness.

This first new moon on 2021, that January 13th, is in the star sign of Capricorn and brings vibes for creativity.

During the new moon is when the sky is darkest and so the stars can shine the brightest!

The moon has an effect on the tides of the ocean and it influences and influences the activities of all variety of living creatures on our planet. It has also been observed to affect the minds of all variety of life, including humans. This is where the term ‘lunatic’ comes from.

During the new moon, the sky is at its darkest and the stars are able to shine more. Although we might think that the moon is not in the sky, the fact is that it is, but the shadow from the earth over it makes it invisible to the naked eye.

The new moon is the beginning of a 27-day cycle of lunar phases that swell to the radiance of the full Moon phase, before waning back to the darkness of another new moon.

Use this meditation any time you want to start something new, to set an emotional tone the cycle ahead and be receptive to what there is.

This is a yoga nidra relaxation that I composed for my dad in Spanish.

He was going to have a lengthy operation at the dentist and to ease the process I recorded this meditation.

I am sharing it here for anyone that can benefit from it. Even if you don't speak Spanish fluently you could try it out and see if you can get the message or just the spirit of the meditation.

The focus is on easing the pain and taking the mind to a place where it can heal and rest.

Let me know if you've done it and what the results are.

Esta es una relajación de yoga nidra que compuse para mi papá.

Como iba a tener una operación prolongada en el dentista, y para facilitar el aprocess de nacion, le grabé esta meditación en español.

Lo comparto aquí para cualquiera que pueda beneficiarse de él. Incluso si no hablas español con fluidez, puedes probarlo y ver si puedes captar el mensaje o simplemente el espíritu de la meditación.

El objetivo es aliviar el dolor y llevar la mente a un lugar donde pueda sanar y descansar.

Los colores de la tapa de este episodio son marron y blanco como los colores del equipo de futball de mi papa, su adorado Platense.

Avísame si lo has hecho y cuáles son los resultados. Email: geny@cheyoga.co.uk

I invite you to lean into the dark magic of this season. Ponder about death and it meaning and feel it in your body with this Yoga Nidra meditation.

Though this is a season of death and release, it is also a time that can encourage greater intimacy, a time in which to connect not only to those you love on a deeper level but also to strengthen your relationship with your own inner self.

Enjoy!

Sat Chit Ananda mantra evokes the bliss of pure knowledge and consciousness.

• Sat –  Can be thought of as absolute or pure truth. Sat also represents the eternal and everlasting, ‘that which never changes,’ our spiritual presence.
• Chit - Chit is related to awareness or consciousness, also interpreted as knowledge.
• Ananda – Ananda means bliss, happiness, or joy. It is our deep true essence.

There is not just one way of interpreting the meaning of a mantra. To repeat it will allow you to experience its power, a feeling of oneness with all things.
