Let's see! I am feeling called to tap into the collective for the next VIP Recording! I would love to record something special for you tomorrow. Part of my process is burning sage to clear the space, followed by palo santo to set intention before each recording session. I would love to know which season you're in and what you are exploring internally... SHARE BELOW What would support you this month? AND what length of Nidra would you enjoy to rest with the most!?

these are five invitations through the lens of yoga nidra and the koshas, layers of being. 1. ✧your body✧ what does your physical body need more of this year rest? warmth? slower mornings? a sense of safety you can feel in your bones? 2. ✧your energy✧ notice where your life force is flowing freely… and where it feels depleted? not everything needs effort some things need space. 3. ✧your mind and heart✧ what thoughts or emotional patterns are asking for?compassion? what softens when you stop arguing with yourself? 4. ✧your inner wisdom✧ beneath the noise… beneath the goals… there is a quiet knowing, what truth has been patiently waiting for you to listen? 5. ✧your capacity for peace✧ the part of you that is unaffected by last year … by “mistakes” … by stories this is there reminder… you are still here! you are always whole. this is how you can meet a new year not by reinventing yourself but by remembering your true self. layer by layer. we are still being invited by the year of the snake to shed what isn't ours. and today! choosing clarity ✧☽ presence ✧☽ and a nervous system that gets to feel at home. ✧☽ Cheers to beginning again… everyday.

And wishing everyone peace and rest.

An abbreviated "message of light" from (Taoist) Master Mantak Chia. ...Later, through the Tao, I discovered that the heart of all true traditions is the same. Christmas is the celebration of Light entering the world. In the Tao, it is the moment when Yang quietly returns within stillness. Different words - the same truth. This season invites us to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with our heart. It is a beautiful time to forgive, to let go of old burdens, and to begin again -with more love, peace, and compassion for ourselves and for others. Remember: When you cultivate peace within yourself, you naturally bring peace to the world. This is my Christmas wish for you: may your heart feel light, may your body feel warm and alive, and may you rediscover the quiet joy already within you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. With love and blessings, Master Mantak Chia☯️ “When there is peace in your heart, the Tao flows naturally.” And Merry (late) Christmas from me as well!

Once again in a crisis, I turned to one of Ayla’s podcasts to get me through. I ended up in hospital in Italy, unable to breathe with a chest infection. I fall apart mentally when I am sick and it’s exponentially worse when I’m not in my home country. Thank you Ayla for the words you use in all of your sessions that always have a way of making me feel I can get through things.
