In like a lamb, out like a...
We made it to the end of March... 🦁🐑 At the start of the month, I shared a little agricultural folklore and asked what kind of March we were stepping into. (Read Post) Now I'm curious... How did it feel for YOU? Drop your answer below! And if you want the full context, check out the original post. Not talking about the weather... talking about what moved through you this month. 🌱

Memory and remembering, insight and inspiration accelerating like the Autumn 🍂 winds, here at this time, that tug at the accumulated stagnant energy and unearth a vibrancy that has never been lost just covered over.

@Tracy Corbin 100F nearly 38C yes that’s hot especially by our standards here in NZ.🥵
Dreaming BIG with a Cosmic Reset
It’s not often I share a Live Nova Nidra session on YouTube, and this one carried such a dreamy energy. Created as a space for us to come together in nourishing deep rest, this practice supports vitality, the release of stagnation, and a return to inner wisdom. If you’ve been craving a deeper connection to your dreams and intuition, let this be your gateway.

@Diana Patel interesting. As I ran the dogs I recalled a visit to a retreat centre near where I live. In the depths of the rainforest is a moss lined labyrinth , no other person and echoing birdsong . I walked this labyrinth and half way through I got the overwhelming urge to step out, it was so strong. I stopped and breathed deeply. It really took me by surprise. I settled, felt presence and slowly continued.

@Diana Patel Very interesting! Thanks for that link. Also I wasn’t sure what bindweed was so searched and I’m pretty sure it’s the same rampant weed growing just outside. Interesting info on symbology of it.
Dreaming Begins Before Sleep
When most people hear the word dreaming, they think of what happens at night. The strange images, the emotional fragments, the stories the mind makes while the body is asleep. But dreaming begins much earlier than that. The mind is always weaving. In waking life, it weaves memory, emotion, sensation, and anticipation. At night, that weaving becomes more visible. What lives beneath the surface begins to speak in image, symbol, feeling, and movement. This is part of why Yoga Nidra can feel so mysterious to people at first. You may not be fully asleep, and yet something in you is moving through a dreamlike space. You may still hear the voice guiding you, and yet your body feels far away. You may leave the practice with an image, a colour, a sensation, or a feeling you can’t quite explain. That doesn’t mean you “drifted off” or did it wrong. It means you entered a different layer of awareness. Yoga Nidra lives in that threshold space. Not fully awake or fully sleeping... It's a bridge. And the threshold matters because this is where the thinking mind loosens its grip. It stops organizing everything into a linear sense and becomes more receptive or abstract. This is one reason dreams can feel so important after a period of deep rest. When the nervous system is under constant strain, we often lose contact with these subtler layers. We sleep, but not always deeply. We dream, but don’t remember or wake carrying tension instead of insight. Yoga Nidra helps restore the conditions for dreaming to become more vivid, more coherent, and more meaningful by supporting the body in feeling safe enough to enter rest more fully. And dreaming, in this way, is not just about what happens at night. It’s also about imagination. Inner vision.The symbolic language of the deeper self. So when we speak of dreaming with Yoga Nidra, we’re not only speaking about nighttime dreams. We’re speaking about learning how to listen when the surface mind quiets and something deeper begins to speak.

Awesome! I’m looking forward to it. The Peace in Rest space is so well put together and the community are great. I was quite anxious at first as I find it a challenge to express myself without fear of being seen I guess. I can have courage knowing this is a safe space.
"The strongest man you've ever met is an eldest daughter.."
🚨Vulnerable Share Alert🚨 Lately I’ve been moving through something that has been bringing up a lot of old feelings in me. Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing some deeper parts work, and it’s opened up new realizations about my relationship with my family and how much of my life has quietly been shaped around other people. It’s been a heartbreaking thing to see clearly. Even as a 36-year-old woman, I can recognize how often I’ve been posturing my life around the needs, emotions, or expectations of others. Call it people-pleasing. Call it codependency. Call it mother wounds. Whatever the label, I’m starting to see the ways my upbringing influenced the trajectory of my life in ways I hadn’t fully acknowledged before. For a while I was in the blame stage. Feeling like a victim who had just been along for the ride. But over the last couple of weeks, something has shifted and I think I’m ready to move into the next part of the story. One of the hardest things I’ve had to accept recently is that my own mother may never be able to support me in the ways I’ve always hoped she would. And strangely… there has been a kind of freedom in that realization. Because the beautiful thing about being in a community like this one is that we are not limited to the wisdom of the family we were born into. There are so many people here who have walked similar thresholds before us. So I’m coming here honestly and vulnerably to ask: If you’ve navigated something similar (especially my fellow eldest daughters out there) I would love to hear from you. What helped you step out of the patterns you inherited? What helped you reclaim your own life? Any wisdom, reflections, or hard-won lessons… I’m very open to receiving right now. 🤍

Hello Cat A 55 year old eldest daughter here😉 I resonate with what you share so bravely. I’ve done the people pleasing thing my whole life probably out of fear of not being liked, being alone, not being enough, not measuring up. Things came into sharp relief when my Dad was gravely ill and Mum spent every moment at the hospital working tirelessly to make him comfortable. He recovered and returned home and there was no appreciation for her whatsoever. He simply expected or complained. Suddenly I could see a repeated pattern through childhood where mum always strived to make things ok, to smooth things out and I realised that I did exactly the same thing. Played small, was always nice , didn’t want to upset anyone and effectively kept attracting relationships that were not healthy. To step out of the pattern I found the courage to be unapologetically me, say goodbye to some long term friends, set boundaries with others, practice non judgment and compassion for self and others. It’s been a rocky road, some don’t understand but that’s ok because I’m a divine being and my growth is impacting the memories of the women ancestors and all those that follow after me. I can create a new, strong foundation and be an example for my daughter and other young people I encounter, I hope. I really appreciate my mum, what she gifted me, how I’ve done the work because of our relationship and knowing she only could come from a place of where she was at and her prior experiences. Sometimes the biological family dynamic pushes us to discover different kinds of family whereby we can discover the beautiful layers of our being , such as this awesome community. Hope that makes some kind of sense 🦋

When I was in San Pancho, Mexico, I got into a little routine. SHARE your morning routine below! Wake up before sunrise. Walk down to the ocean with @Laura Rose Sit with the waves for a while before the world woke up. One morning, I realized… this would be the perfect sound for a Yoga Nidra. So I recorded the waves you hear in the Pisces practice (in the Pisces season... like come on how perfect) right there at dawn. There’s something about the rhythm of the ocean that just naturally slows the nervous system down. It reminds us that we don’t have to fix or figure out everything… We can simply observe the tides moving through. Very VERY Pisces.... hey @Thomas Scheppat and @Arno Koch !? The little prayer I placed into this practice is simple: that you feel complete and whole just as you are. If you listen, come back and tell me how it lands for you. And if you feel like giving it a little love on YouTube (comment + like), that tiny gesture really does help the practice reach more people who might need it. Also… send it to your ocean lover firends and Pisces humans 🐟 Nova Nidra Supporters | Listen Here Free Members | YouTube
