What are You Ready to Release?
Happy autumn, the season of letting go! Fall has always been my favorite season. I just adore the crispness in the air, the beautiful colors in the landscape, and warm cuddly sweaters and scarves.
There is something exciting and yet bittersweet about this time of year. We know that the days are becoming shorter, the winter is coming, and we find ourselves inspired to move inward. We gather the harvest from our hard work earlier in the year, and we are reminded of the impermanence of things. We are very aware that the days are passing and we can not slow down time, as much as we might want to. Just as the trees know that it’s time to release their leaves, we too know that it is a natural process to let go of things that are no longer serving our highest good.
We can learn so much from the wisdom of the trees. Trees don’t hold on to their leaves for dear life, clutching them even after they are lifeless. They release them naturally and effortlessly. And often, the thing that is ready to release becomes incredibly vibrant and beautiful just prior to dropping away. The leaves decompose and their nutrients return to the earth. The act of letting go provides sustenance. The tree prepares for winter by shedding, and it knows that the spring will come again. There is no fear, no gripping. Just a natural trust that all is in Divine order.
What if we could let go as easily and naturally as the trees do? What if we could trust that as we shed, we make space to nourish ourselves and bring forth the potential of new growth within us.
Every animal in nature and every plant innately knows that this is a time to slow down, rest, and go within!
What if you could let go of the tension, worry, and patterns that aren’t serving you without having to do anything other than lie down and relax? Imagine how your life would change if you decided to make loving and caring for yourself an actual priority.
I have found a practice that has really changed my life and allowed me to feel more peaceful and centered. It’s called Yoga Nidra , which is Conscious Deep Relaxation. It can help you create shifts in your health, your relationships, your level of success, and your sense of well-being. You simply lie down, relax, and listen to the recording. That’s all there is to it. No experience is necessary, and no sweating is required.
One hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to three hours of restorative sleep. Yes, I am serious! It reduces stress, helps you sleep better, increases productivity, lowers blood pressure, reduces anxiety and depression, and more!
I am excited to invite you to join me in practicing Yoga Nidra, Deep Conscious Relaxation, from the comfort of your own home! I have created a 30 Day Challenge including recordings, live group practices online, worksheets, bonus videos, and more!
My challenge to you is: Can you commit to at least 13 minutes a day, for 30 days, to quiet your mind, relax your nervous system, and bring your whole being back into a space of balance?
13 minutes is so do-able! You can do that, I know you can! Even if you have to listen right before you go to sleep.
I have seen huge shifts in my own life from practicing Yoga Nidra, and I would be honored to share this transformational experience with you. All of the details are at YogaNidraChallenge.com.
We begin on Saturday, November 5th and I hope you will join us!
Make yourself a priority as we move through this season of letting go. Indeed, dying can be beautiful.
