Stress is not only a feeling. In many cases today, it can become a full-system storm, hijacking sleep, elevating cortisol, flattening mood, and scattering focus. What if not doing anything is the remedy? Yoga Nidra, a guided self-awareness practice from the yogic tradition, is gaining attention for its potent capacity to restore balance and harmony. Research is beginning to catch up with what ancient wisdom has long expressed: this practice quiets the nervous system, improves sleep, and supports emotional healing. Here is how it works and why both clinicians and everyday seekers are paying attention. READ MORE *Latest Article in Brainz Magazine

This past weekend was a reminder that gratitude can also be vulnerable. In echo of Cat's share: Be Courageous. Each time we pause to appreciate what is already present, we open our hearts and space for something new to emerge. Let's continue to pause for gratitude! SHARE below what you are grateful for today! I'll begin... I am grateful for all of those who are sharing their voice in this community... When I see you being vulnerable and sharing your questions, creating bids for connection, and supporting those who share with a like or comment, it shows me... Although we can be a 'sleepy' community in nature, we don't push 'snooze' on connection. For those silent observers here, I encourage you to SHARE your moment of gratitude on this post! You deserve to be seen. Let's support each other!

When we rest together, something changes. Our nervous systems mirror one another. We begin to feel supported, even in silence. Will you make time this weekend to rest? Drop a 🌙 in the comments if you’re prioritizing rest!

As the week comes to a close, it’s easy to remember the things we didn’t finish, the moments that felt heavy or the places we wish we had shown up differently. But gratitude has a way of softening those edges. It doesn’t erase what was difficult, but it shifts the way we hold it. In Yoga Nidra, even a simple reflection on one thing we’re grateful for can calm the nervous system and invite a state of rest. Gratitude opens the door to presence. Take a moment to pause. Breathe. And let one memory, one small thing you’re thankful for this week, rise to the surface. What is it for you? SHARE it below. Your gratitude might spark someone else’s.

Hey friends, First off, a big warm welcome to our newest members! 👋 You’ve found your way into a really special corner of the internet. Lately, it feels like everywhere we look, the world is pulling itself apart. And yet, zoom all the way out and what do you see? Just one little Pale Blue Dot spinning through space, all of us sharing the same home address: Earth. I find it heartbreaking to think about how divided we act vs. how connected we actually are. So, in the spirit of balancing out all that divisive energy that's out there right now, let’s remember the obvious: we’re all neighbors on this floating rock. 🌎 In the comments, share: - Your name - Where you’re tuning in from - And maybe one word for how you’re arriving today Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you just joined today, let’s re-introduce ourselves and celebrate how global and beautifully human this community really is. I’ll kick us off in the comments! Can’t wait to see where on this blue marble you’re all beaming in from. —Cat ✨ P.S. Enjoy this lovely song I found called 'Pale Blue Dot' 🎶
