Rumi Poem - Surrender

Allison Yoga Nidra To Sleep

This 3 part series is based on a teaching story from the Upanishads that shows our potential to awaken from an ego-based trance and discover the full luminosity and freedom of our natural awareness.  In each class we'll explore one of the three gifts considered as essential on the spiritual path.  The first is the capacity to forgive, to let go of the blame and resentment that prevents our hearts from being open and free.  The second gift is "inner fire," the capacity to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to what we most cherish.  The third gift is a "mirror" or the capacity to look deeply into our own hearts and minds and realize the truth of who we are. Each class includes guided meditations that explore how these gifts can be nourished right here and now in our lives.

Three Liberating Gifts - Part 2 - Inner Fire - TaraBrach

Yoga Nidra is an age-old technique of lucid-sleeping which reduces stress and allows the body to heal.  Yoga Nidra means yogic sleep, however it is not sleep as we generally understand - it is to Awaken. The term Yoga Nidra is often used to describe the relaxation at the end of a yoga practice, Savasana. Yoga Nidra activates the senses and nervous system to affect much of the brain.  During the experience, different levels of the mind are explored: consciousness, subconsciousness, and super-consciousness.  During Yoga Nidra, you are guided towards a fully conscious state free of the habitual reactions to thoughts and emotions. The deep state of relaxation enables an introspective look at the patterns of the mind and the emotional bodies.

Stillness vs. procrastination - how to tell the difference.

This is a led meditation practice, as taught at the City Lit and the West London Buddhist Centre.

I encountered this meditation for the first time when I was finding life a little stressful, and there is no doubt that it has helped me immensely since 2007. I would heartily recommend anyone to have a go.

You could start right now, but you might like to read this introduction that Jinananda once wrote:

The first thing is to find a quality of stillness.  It is possible to move or walk with this quality of stillness, but in this practice, you can start to develop it by being physically still.  You can move during the practice, but the invitation of the practice is not to fidget. 

If you need to, you can lie down to do the practice, but if you can, you should sit up, in a chair or on the floor, either kneeling astride cushions, or if sitting cross-legged, sitting high enough on cushions so that the knees are lower than the hips. 

The aim of the practice is to cultivate a concentrated appreciative attention to our moment-by-moment experience of the breathing process. 

There are four stages, or approaches, to the practice.  Each of these stages represents a slightly different way of being aware of the breath, of being aware of in the breath.  Starting with the easiest, and working towards the stage requiring the most delicate focus of concentration. 

Mindfulness is not about closing down or cutting off our thinking, it is not an exercise in fixing or forcing the attention.  It simply provides our thinking with something to come back to when it becomes aware of what it is doing. 

We are being mindful at the very moment that we realize that our mind has been all over the place.  Coming home to the breath, we are coming home to ourselves.  Without trying to stop the mind doing what it wants to do, we are centring the mind, settling it.

How To Find Your Soul Tribe.

It is with great pleasure that I share with you the second masterclass with Tara Brach, following on from Tara's presentation on 'How To End The Trance of Unworthiness &amp; Move Through Fear' during the Mindfulness Summit in 2015.

Tara Brach is as an internationally recognised meditation teacher and clinical psychologist, and founder of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC (IMCW). She has practiced and taught meditation for over 35 years and successfully published two bestselling meditation and spiritual awakening books, True Refuge and Radical Acceptance. Her podcasts are also downloaded over one million times per month, which is a real testament to her work and ongoing commitment to helping us live with more peace and ease.

During this masterclass we speak about one of the things that can really hold us back from wholehearted living, and that thing is fear - the fear we’re not enough, we won’t be loved and that we’re not worthy. Tara’s relates to this as the 'Trance of Unworthiness', and illustrates how it can hold us back from being the person we want to be and the life we want to live.

Also shared in this masterclass is Tara’s personal story of how she’s had to self-nurture through feelings of unworthiness, even after publishing Radical Acceptance.

Karen Brody's Yoga Nidra Meditation

Yoga nidra or “yogi sleep” is a sleep-like state which yogis report to experience during their meditations. The practice of yoga relaxation has been found to reduce tension and anxiety. The autonomic symptoms of high anxiety such as headache, giddiness, chest pain, palpitations, sweating, abdominal pain respond well. It has been used to help soldiers from war cope with PTSD.
