Unburden the body and soul in this 50-minute Yoga Nidra practice—a guided meditative journey rooted in ancient yogic wisdom and the healing language of myth and metaphor.

Created as a sanctuary for those ready to release the weight of shame—both personal and inherited—this practice invites you to gently soften the protective layers around your heart and return to the truth of your inherent worth. Inspired by the classical structure of Satyananda Saraswati, this session is an invocation of remembrance: of wholeness, of holiness, of home.

Through this richly woven nidra, you’ll be guided through:

• Physical stillness & rotation of awareness — systematically relax every part of the body, softening armor and tension held in the muscles, tissues, and bones.
• Subtle breath awareness — witness the rise and fall of your breath to restore trust in your body’s rhythms and reconnect to your inner sanctuary.
• Sankalpa planting — infuse the subconscious with a healing intention, planting seeds of compassion in the fertile soil of deep receptivity.
• Symbolic journeying — explore archetypal imagery, metaphor, and subtle storytelling that speaks directly to the wounded places, calling home the exiled parts of self with reverence.
• Closing & integration — emerge slowly and tenderly, bringing with you a deeper sense of belonging, spaciousness, and embodied peace.

This is not just a meditation—it is an alchemical rite of passage. A safe return to the body. A balm for the psyche. A remembering of who you were before the world told you otherwise.

Accessible to all levels and especially resonant for those on a path of healing and self-reclamation.
