Not scrolling until your brain goes numb. What does actual, nourishing rest feel like in your body? One of our Peace in Rest members said something that stuck with me: "I approached yoga nidra to get better sleep... and then I had no idea the depth it would take me to." That's it, isn't it? Most of us come in through the door of exhaustion and end up discovering something we didn't even know we were looking for. So — I want to hear from you. Drop it below: What brought you here? What are you discovering it's actually about? Or what would you like to learn about true rest!? No right answers. Just the honest ones.

Hi beautiful community, I am writing to you from the Sacred Valley in Peru, resting deeply among mountains, rivers, and a community of kindred souls. Taurus season has a way of asking us all to slow down, find our roots, and return to ourselves. My body has been leading the way, and I am following. Over the next two weeks, I will be taking on nature’s pace; breathing with the stillness of the mountains and flowing with the current of the rivers. My response times may be slower than usual, but you are not forgotten. If anything needs urgent attention while I’m away, @Alisha Macedo is here to support you. You can reach her by emailing [email protected] and she will be happy to help. Thank you for holding this space with so much grace and care. I hope you are finding moments to slow down and let nature set the pace for you, too.

Somewhere along the way You learned that your feelings were a problem to manage. Too much. Too intense. Too hard to be around. 😭 So you got good at holding it together. Being useful. Constantly moving. Keeping juuuuuust enough distance from the bubbling underneath So you could still function. But here's what that costs: You can't rest when you're bracing or hiding yourself. The body won't rest when peace is held at arm's length. Real rest (the deep kind) requires that you feel safe enough to let what's there actually move. Not so you can be another problem to solve, but so you can just let it move. This is the second of the 5 States of Rest... (LEARN MORE) Each state gets its own month inside the membership I'm opening this week. Its own practice. Its own nervous system map. Its own way home. POLL | Which feels more true right now?

I cannot believe I get to say this... The Nova Nidra Community just hit 1000 members. One thousand of you. 😭💕 Resting. Restoring. Returning to yourselves. This community exists because you showed up... and I do not take that lightly. You are all why Nova Nidra can keep going... So here is my thank you: Nova Nidra for World Peace | This is a part of the VIP Nova Nidra Vault This one includes a Loving Kindness offering we all could benefit from! If you would like to enjoy this practice and other 𝑬𝒙𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆 Nova Nidra offerings, like the upcoming Five States of Rest coming very soon join VIP Today!

In this live session, I introduced something I’ve been quietly building... The 5 States of Rest | Watch Replay This framework is rooted in Yoga Nidra and the understanding that rest isn’t one experience. It’s layered. Each of us has a dominant Rest Archetype pattern in how our body, mind, and spirit relate to rest. When you understand your state, everything begins to make more sense. We also explored: • What Yoga Nidra actually is — conscious rest while the body deeply relaxes • How archetypes shape human experience (inspired by Jung + Campbell) • A guided practice to help you feel your current state, not just think about it And I’ve created a 5-question quiz to help you discover your archetype. This isn’t something to rush. Let your body answer. If nothing comes… that’s information too. I’m personally reviewing the first 100 responses with my team. But first, tune in to the video! 😊
