This yoga nidra explores the Kabbalistic emanation of Yesod, a spiritual bridge connecting the seen and unseen. Yesod serves as a meeting place where the energies of higher sefirot (emanations) of lovingkindness, inner strength, balance, endurance, and gratitude converge from abstract origins into physical form. This practice invites you to align your thoughts, feelings, and actions, allowing you to trust in the unseen and create from a place of clarity and connection. As you delve into this meditative practice, you are encouraged to let go of efforts and agendas, thereby weaving your experiences into a state of wholeness. By entering the fluid state between sleep and wakefulness, cognitive restraints ease and deeper awareness unfolds, providing a fertile ground for healing and creativity.  By fostering a deep sense of grounding and presence through progressive relaxation, breath awareness, body scanning, and vivid visualization, this Jewish-rooted Yoga Nidra practice serves to cultivate your inner strength and potential.   Episode Summary: Here’s what you can expect: Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position.
