Tonight's new moon is traditionally a seed-planting moon... the darkest, quietest point before the next cycle of growth begins. It also marks something inside this community: we're moving from Flamekeeper season into Dream Weaver season. Comment your one-word intention for the next lunar cycle. I'll be doing the same. If The Flamekeeper is the mind that understands everything and still can't quite rest, The Dream Weaver is the layer just past it — the one who can see the life being created with clarity, and is learning to actually live inside it instead of just picturing it from a distance. Different state, same honest work. In yoga nidra we work with something called a sankalpa... a resolve planted in the deepest, most receptive state of rest, rather than forced through willpower in an ordinary waking state. Tonight is a good night to plant one. Over the next few weeks, we'll spend some time with what it means to be a Dream Weaver... whether that's you right now or not yet.

If you feel everything — if other people's moods follow you home, if a quiet day still leaves you wrung out — my newest Yoga Nidra was made for you. It speaks to the emotional body: the part of you that moves like the tide. A soft place to land while the waves move through you, with nothing to fix and nowhere your feelings have to go. Because the Tidal Heart is always learning: you are not the wave. you are the water. 🌊 🤍 Come rest with me → TIDAL HEARTS | 27 MIN

Here is the post mentioned in the video: States of Rest Results

Some things don’t release easily because they were once essential. ~Hyper vigilance kept you aware. ~Over-responsibility kept things functioning. ~Emotional guarding kept you from being hurt again. These patterns made sense at some point... Letting go doesn’t mean rejecting those parts of yourself. It means allowing them to rest now that the context has changed. Yoga Nidra supports this transition by helping the body clearly sense the present moment. Not the memory of danger, but the reality of now. As the nervous system registers safety, old strategies no longer need to remain active. ✨Self-Inquiry | What part of you has been working very hard for a very long time?
