Welcome to Healing Your Body and Mind with Yoga Nidra, a self-love practice. Join me, Ayla Nova, as we embark on a journey of deep relaxation and radical self-acceptance. In this session, we'll tap into the healing powers of yoga nidra, a meditative practice that guides you into a state of conscious deep sleep, promoting mental clarity, physical relaxation, and spiritual growth. Experience the gentle embrace of loving-kindness, as we explore the realms of alpha and theta brainwaves, fostering a state of profound rest and rejuvenation. 🌟 "Meditation practice isn't about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better.
