Aatma Life

The first episode of season 4 is out! I am so excited to bring you another season of powerfully healing yoga nidras! 🤍

Yoga nidra has been there for me during my toughest days where the darkness seems like the only thing that surrounds you yo the days where all I needed was a better sleep.

It is truly all encompassing on what it can offer.

If you haven’t tried yoga nidra yet, this is the perfect time to check it out! All you need is a quiet place to lay down, get comfy, and tune in. Link to the podcast in my bio.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to just stop caring.

But this could be the best way to love ourselves.

To stop caring what someone else thinks or wants from you. To stop feeling the need to explain your behavior and decisions and choices and history and personality.

What if someone else's opinion of you would be as useless as a stone thrown into a river? It can cause some ripples, but eventually it will go away and you'll barely remember it.

So are you ready to take the uncomfortable action because you are so damn worthy of your own love?

This month in The Aatma Practice, we are getting raw with Self-Love and spending a delicious 4 weeks on loving ourselves more and giving ourselves the compassion and kindness we deserve. If this calls to you, click the link in my bio to learn more.

Sankalpa is a word that comes from Sanskrit, meaning "intention." It has many uses in yogic practice, but can be thought of as the single-pointed focus one needs to execute any goal. Once a sankalpa is set, you must allow it to support you and lead you.

Sankalpas are the very core of our being's intentions in this world, they're our will power. In Hinduism they are the embodiment of the citta-vrtti, or one's thoughts and feelings. A sankalpa can be a simple prayer or mantra, but when they are brought to fruition the results are powerful magic.

In my own life, I have been experiencing a very strong force within me that has been guiding me with great focus and clarity. For the past year, wherever I go and whatever I do, this force is there with me. Yoga Nidra has provided me with a practice to setting and embodying powerful sankalpas .

Yoga Nidra is the practice of conscious sleep.

When you are practicing yoga nidra your body is lying down but your mind is awake and alert.

In this practice, one sinks into a deep meditative state for a set period of time. In that time the yogi will release all thoughts from their mind and focus on a single sankalpa .

This practice allows you to drop into the very essence of your being. It brings you to the core of your will power, creativity, and intuition.

If you haven't tried out yoga nidra, I offer yoga nidra through my podcast, The Yoga Nidra Podcast, and through my exclusive membership The Aatma Practice. It is such a transformative and powerful tool that I couldn't even imagine life without now.
