The Rested Rebel Podcast is where urgency dissolves and rhythm returns. Each episode offers short, bite size meditations such as Yoga Nidra, nervous system resets, and moon rituals, woven with raw reflections on burnout, healing, and the wild beauty of being human. This is rest with an edge: tender, radical, and real. Created and hosted by Nikki of @restedrebel, these practices are born from my own journey of slowing down after running too fast. Episodes drop in rhythm, not on demand. Because rest is not another task, it is a way back to yourself. Listen on Apple | Spotify restedrebel.substack.com

  1. Full Moon Ritual Holding Fear with the Index Finger

    Full Moon Ritual Holding Fear with the Index Finger

    Tonight’s full moon pulls old fear to the surface.Not the obvious fear.The quiet fear that rises when things begin to work.The fear of success.The fear of not knowing how long it will last. In Jin Shin Jyutsu the index finger is connected to fear.When you hold it you are asking the fear to speak rather than control you.You are asking it to show you where it began.You are letting it guide you inward instead of shutting your system down. This three minute ritual is simple.Hold the index finger.Breathe slowly.Let your fear soften enough to be understood.Let the full moon illuminate what you are ready to releaseand what you are ready to grow into.

    MoonNidra | The Body Remembers Safety

    Episode Title: MoonNidra – The Body Remembers Safety Theme: Taurus Moon | Resting into what is rea lLength: 20 minutes Body Focus: Throat, neck, and lower body This MoonNidra marks a gentle milestone — my first week teaching again in my new hometown, Ronneby, and the beginning of our Yellowmoon Practice Journey Yogakurs, a twelve class exploration through the Five Elements: Earth, Wood, Metal, Fire and Water. We begin with Earth, and the timing could not be more aligned with the Taurus Moon.Both teach us how to stay close to what is steady and to rebuild from simplicity.This practice is an invitation to slow down, to trust your rhythm, and to let the body remember how safety feels. Taurus energy lives through the throat and neck, the bridge between thought and expression.When this space softens, the voice returns, the nervous system settles, and a deep inner calm begins to rise. In this episode I also share a few quiet updates:teaching again at Yellowmoon Studio in Ronneby,offering Spinal Energetics sessions,and returning to Lund for my first post-COVID workshop since closing my studio there. Each moment feels like part of a wider circle — teaching from the heart, creating again,and allowing life to flow as it is.

  4. The Still Point Within the Storm

    10/06/2025

    The Still Point Within the Storm

    October’s Full Moon always arrives with contrast. The air sharpens, the light shifts, and everything in nature begins to move. Storm Amy sweeps across Europe this week, and the winds mirror what many of us feel inside: a stirring, a restlessness, a call to release what no longer needs to be carried. Autumn is the season of Vata — the dosha of air, space, movement, and transition. It is a time when we are invited to slow down even as the world around us speeds up. To anchor deeper even as the winds swirl. To trust that stillness is not the absence of motion but the steady centre beneath it. This is the heart of this week’s MoonNidra. It is a guided practice designed to help you find that still point. To soften the impulse to control. To honour what has grown. To release what is ready to fall away. And to receive what has been waiting to arrive. This practice is not about fixing or improving. It is an invitation to remember. To return. To rest. Practice Focus * Body focus: Heart and upper back, the landscape of receiving, emotional steadiness, and soft expansion. * Theme: Stillness amidst movement, receiving light, releasing control. * Seasonal support: Full Moon in October, Harvest energy, Vata season, storm clearing. Journal Prompt As the winds shift and the season changes, take a moment to notice what offers you stillness. It might be a breath that grounds you, a simple daily ritual, or a space that feels deeply safe and steady. Ask yourself: * What anchors me when everything around me is moving * What does enough feel like in my body right now * What am I ready to release so I can receive more fully If this practice resonates, share it with someone who needs a reminder that calm isn’t something we wait for, it’s something we return to, again and again. xx Nikki This is a public episode.

  8. Suit of Cups × Sacral Feminine Energy — Suits of the Body, Ep. 2

    Suit of Cups × Sacral Feminine Energy — Suits of the Body, Ep. 2

    Episode 2 of 4 — Suits of the Body: Cups × Sacral Chakra The Suit of Cups speaks in the language of the heart — love, grief, joy, longing. In Tarot, it mirrors the tides of water: sometimes spilling over, sometimes still and deep. Your sacral chakra — Svadhisthana — is the vessel for these waters. Located in the pelvic bowl, it’s the seat of creativity, emotion, and feminine energy. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Water element is the deepest reservoir. It teaches us adaptability, patience, and the quiet gathering of strength. In this practice, you’ll be guided to: Rest awareness in your pelvic bowl Feel your inner waters held, contained, and supported Release the need to rush your emotional process Remember the rhythm of stillness and motion This is the feminine tide — the ebb and flow that nourishes life itself. This is Episode 2 of 4 in the Suits of the Body series. Follow & subscribe so you don’t miss Episode 3: Suit of Wands × Throat Chakra — coming next week. This is a public episode.
