"my love for you is not conditional"

“Held in Warmth” is a soft ambient piece crafted to soothe the heart and quiet the mind. Like a turtle crossing a sunlit forest clearing, it invites you to slow down, feel, and simply be. Let the tender chords and quiet presence hold you in stillness — not to escape the world, but to gently remember yourself within it.

Held in Warmth

Soften into deep rest with this gentle visualization. Dream yourself into the world of a sleepy bee, settling inside a lotus blossom as it closes for the night, holding you in complete safety. Feel your body unwind as you float in this private sanctuary. 
This guided micro-journey is perfect for easing anxiety, quieting thoughts, and inviting peaceful sleep.

Return to Silence

A clinically-informed guided rest practice designed to ground the nervous system and counter the cold, mobile qualities of Vata dosha. This protocol uses extended stillness, weighted containment, and systematic body awareness to anchor scattered energy and dissolve the characteristic Vata patterns of anxiety, racing thoughts, and restless exhaustion.
Unlike traditional yoga nidra, this practice addresses Vata's specific constitutional needs through:

Longer rest duration to allow the nervous system to truly settle. Grounding cues that emphasize heaviness, warmth, and downward movement. Minimal rotation or complexity in attention—staying with simple, repetitive anchors. Focus on containment and boundary rather than expansion. Strategic use of breath awareness to regulate without stimulating

Ideal for those experiencing: insomnia, anxiety, creative burnout, difficulty landing after travel, overwhelm from too many inputs, scattered attention, or the wired-but-tired state that comes from prolonged Vata imbalance.

Props recommended: Weighted blanket, extra layers for warmth, eye cover, support under knees.

Vata Doshic Deep Rest

A clinically-informed guided rest practice designed to cool the nervous system and counter the hot, sharp, driven qualities of Pitta dosha. This protocol uses intentional surrender, cooling awareness, and strategic release of control to dissolve the characteristic Pitta patterns of burnout, inflammation, irritability, and the relentless internal pressure to achieve.
Unlike traditional yoga nidra, this practice addresses Pitta's specific constitutional needs through:

-Cooling imagery and downward-moving awareness to reduce internal heat
-Permission structures that allow high-achievers to rest without feeling like they're failing
-Softening cues that counter sharp, critical self-monitoring
-Minimal performance orientation—no "doing it right"
-Strategic release of jaw, eyes, and digestive tension where Pitta holds

Ideal for those experiencing: burnout from overwork, inflammatory conditions, irritability or anger, perfectionist exhaustion, difficulty letting go of control, competitive self-talk, or the driven-to-depletion state that comes from prolonged Pitta imbalance.

Props recommended: Cool room temperature, minimal covering, eye pillow (room temperature or chilled), elevation under head and heart.

Pitta Doshic Deep Rest

The Space Where Your Life Begins

This energy healing session guides you into the spaciousness that already exists inside you — the quiet inner universe where your real life begins. When you give yourself space, you can finally hear your own truth again.

And if you don’t yet know what you desire, this is exactly where the path starts.

As you rest, breathe, and let your body soften, the borders between your inner and outer worlds begin to melt. Everything becomes space — gentle, alive, and full of possibility.

You are not your thoughts, not your body, not your circumstances.
You are the infinite being observing it all.
From this openness, new paths reveal themselves effortlessly.

This session helps you:
	•	release control
	•	embrace the creative chaos
	•	open to infinite possibilities
	•	return to peace
	•	remember who you truly are

You can come back to this spaciousness at any moment.
Just pause, breathe, and become space.


#5-2025-Let it heal

After years of clinical practice, I kept seeing the same pattern: people try yoga nidra and either fall into a dead sleep, get more anxious, or feel nothing at all. That's because traditional yoga nidra treats all nervous systems the same. Your nervous system has a constitution. A Vata person spiraling with anxiety needs something fundamentally different than a Kapha person stuck in depression or a Pitta person burning out from relentless drive. These protocols address those differences.

I created Doshic Deep Rest as a clinical alternative—three separate practices built from Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis and years of watching what actually works in real bodies. They use the therapeutic structure of guided rest without the lineage baggage, designed specifically for the nervous system patterns I see in practice: scattered and anxious (Vata), driven and inflamed (Pitta), or heavy and stagnant (Kapha). Not generic relaxation. Constitutional nervous system regulation.
