This episode, "Nighttime Ease," comes from a place of deep personal understanding.

I've been there too - lying awake, watching the clock, feeling my heart race as anxiety builds with each passing minute. I know how frustrating and isolating those sleepless nights can be. The tossing, the turning, the endless cycle of thoughts that seem to gain momentum as the night goes on. And paradoxically, the worry about not sleeping only makes it harder to find it.

It was on nights like these that I wished for a gentle guide, a soothing voice to help me break free from that anxious spiral. When I searched for yoga nidras they all seemed to be long, which would further trigger my anxiety about time and sleep. That's why I created this under 14-minute yoga nidra recording. It's the very thing I would have wanted to hear during those restless hours.

Yoga nidra will help to reset your nervous system, and this recording will guide you through some calming breathwork a peaceful visualization. We will find at least a moment to quiet your mind, and ease your body, creating a space where sleep can naturally arise.

Remember, this practice isn't about forcing sleep. It's about releasing the pressure and finding a moment of peace amidst the restlessness. Allow yourself to let go of expectations. Focus on the present moment, on your breath, and on the sensations in your body.

So, wherever you are in your night, whatever anxieties or worries you're carrying, know that you're not alone. Find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and let's begin this journey towards nighttime ease together. May this practice bring you the comfort and rest that I know you deserve.
