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!

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

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!

Hi sweet community, I’m really trying to keep it cool over here, but I’ve gotta be honest… Technology is testing me this week. For the past two days, I’ve been trying to upload a yoga nidra for Virgo season... and each time, it stalls at the exact same point. It just won’t go through. I’ve cleared storage, restarted systems, whispered sweet nothings to my laptop… still, no luck. And here’s the kicker: I’ve now recorded this Nidra three times. Yes, three. So naturally, I’m going to assume that means it’s just getting more potent with each take 😅. Maybe this one needed to be infused with a little more Virgo precision and a whole lot of surrender. This is the first time I’ve had this kind of tech roadblock. And while I know it’s not the end of the world, I really value keeping my promises... especially when I say a Nidra is on the way. So if you were hoping for one this week, please know: I haven’t forgotten. I’m just navigating a little digital detour. I’d love if you could send a little tech magic my way... light a candle, send a prayer, whisper to your router. Whatever you’ve got. And if you’ve ever felt the frustration of tech hiccups, trust me: you’re not alone. Thanks for walking this path with me, even when it glitches. Turning myself off... and back on again. When in doubt Nidra out!

Sometimes the hardest part of practice is simply making the space for it. Even 10 minutes of rest can shift your whole nervous system. It doesn’t have to be perfect. You don’t need silence, candles, or the “right” moment. All you need is a willingness to pause. This weekend, when will you create that space for yourself? Drop your time BELOW. Speaking it aloud here makes it easier to honour, and you might inspire someone else to take their pause too. This is an old recording, but still a lovely go-to: 10-Minute Yoga Nidra
