NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...   When the mind feels foggy or weighed down, this guided Yoga Nidra rain meditation offers space to clear the clouds and reconnect with inner light. Rooted in Jewish mindfulness and the rhythms of the rainy season, this practice invites gentle rest, emotional release, and renewal of faith. As you lie down and follow the layers of your consciousness, allow yourself to let go of stress, plant new possibilities within your mind, and receive the abundant blessings of the rainy season. The ambient background of rain invites you to wash away tension and relax into healing rest.  This soothing practice is ideal for moments of overwhelm, seasonal sadness, mental fog, fatigue, or when you simply need to begin again.    Episode Summary: Here’s what you can expect: Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. Make sure you’re fully supported completely at ease resting on your back or in the posture of your choice. Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth. Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a relaxing body scan focusing on each part of your body to shift further into a state of deep healing rest.  Breath Awareness: Deepen your restful state through conscious contact with the energetic layer of your breath.  Experience Polarities: Train your body and mind to contain opposite feelings at the same time Visualization:  Rest in deep awareness experiencing therapeutic guided imagery in the theme of the season Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier. Let it sink deeply into your being and encode throughout your body. Externalization: Gently transition back to your ordinary waking state. Reconnect with your surroundings to integrate the practice into your daily life and embrace the essence of this season.  Background Music:  "Light Rain Ambient" by Sounds for You from Pixabay   Subscribe to Na’aleh Yoga for more meditative Yoga Nidra journeys and transformative experiences.
