    014 Yoga Nidra: Integration of Heart and Mind

    Welcome to a simple and spacious practice for mind and heart integration and meaningful rest and self-care. I have intentionally left space between words to allow you to cultivate autonomy in your meditation. Sometimes words are like weeds (as in, there's too many!) and I want to provide guidance without crowding the mind. I hope you enjoy this practice.

    013 Yoga Nidra: Awakening Creativity

    Welcome back to the in-between state. Please enjoy this gentle yoga nidra practice, which invites pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses) with the use of sound. It also features a long body scan and a visualisation intended to help awaken creativity, where precious ideas are nurtured and allowed to reveal their potential with patience and time. This will be the last episode for 2023, I'm looking forward to sharing more in 2024. In this upside down, troubled world, may you continue to find sanctuary within. May we all be safe from harm, happy, and free.

  3. 012 Seated practice: Pranayama (nadi shodhana) and meditation

    012 Seated practice: Pranayama (nadi shodhana) and meditation

    Join me for a seated pranayama practice and meditation practice. This practice is intentionally guided yet spacious, particularly in the latter stages, where silence is allowed for you to go deeper into your own meditation space, allowing greater autonomy while being gently guided to that space. Nadi shodhana is the name of the breathing exercise used, and is intended to 'floss' the major energy channels (nadis) along the spine - allowing for freer flow of energy, and is also thought to support integration and balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. My wish is that this practice acts as a realignment and stress release while helping you gain confidence in your own capacity to 'change dials' through breathwork and meditation, allowing greater awareness and presence to permeate your life.

    010 Yoga Nidra: Triangle Breaths

    This yoga nidra practice is suitable either as an initiation to sleep, or as means to tap into the in-between state during your day. Recorded on a balmy night at the height of Australian summer, the sound of crickets can be heard in the background. It is themed around a breath and prana-balancing technique detailed in Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD's radical, wonderful book Yoni Shakti: a woman's guide to yoga and tantra.

  7. 008 Yoga Nidra: 61 Points Exercise (Inner travelling through the body)

    18/06/2022

    008 Yoga Nidra: 61 Points Exercise (Inner travelling through the body)

    This is a simple, bare bones yoga nidra practice, without music. The practice of Shavayatra is also known as the 61 points exercise, and is a form of yoga nidra from the Sri Vidya tantra tradition of the Himalayas. It helps us to deeply relax  and enter into pratyahara, or sense withdrawal, and merge awareness between the body and the mind. An experience of energy like a network of throughout the body may be felt. The invitation is to just be with anything you experience. The practice involves briefly resting your attention, on each of the 61 points, as you hear them named. These 61 points correspond with energy-rich areas of the body, known as marma points. Script is adapted from the description of the practice provided on https://swamij.com/ thumbnail photo by Bruce Christianson, courtesy of Unsplash Comments and feedback on this and other episodes are always welcome. This podcast is an offering to all who listen, in a world and a time where cultivation of our own personal sanctuary of inner peace and wellbeing is becoming as urgent as it is elusive. If you have any feedback at all, please email me p8_@fea.st. with love, Phoebe

    007 Yoga Nidra: The Garden

    In this extended yoga nidra practice, we will explore the concept of an inner garden sanctuary, in which to nurture yourself and water the seeds of your heartfelt desires. We also explore themes of unconditional love and compassion, towards yourself and all beings. Greater equanimity is created by observing the way the mind creates, maintains and dissolves sensations and images. It is my sincere wish that you enjoy this practice and that it enhances your own sense of inner peace and wellbeing.
