About the event
‘’ Spring Forward” Yoga Nidra and Reiki workshop
With the cycle of death and rebirth that the equinox symbolizes, we embrace spring as a time of change while we invite new beginnings into our life. Spring is a time to shed the weight of the winter and to fully align with the fertile new seeds we planted in the new year. As we honor these cycles of change with the warming of the ground we connect deeper to nature's cycles. The dreams we nurture today will shape the reality of our tomorrows.
While the practitioner is in a very relaxed state of Yoga Nidra, they will be guided to place themes of spring such as balance, renewal and fertility into the subconscious mind through visualization. In this state, one can shed the old energies and make space for new growth. Just as the earth awakens from her winter slumber, we too allow our true selves to awaken as we step forward in alignment with our inmost dreams. In the deepest stage of Yoga Nidra, one moves into a delta brainwave state where healing and restoration occur. Here, the intellectual or logical mind takes a back seat so the intentions you set here are significant and powerful. We can cultivate deeper understanding to find harmony and balance within our own inner cycles. We can trust what we desire and the seeds we planted will blossom in their own divine time as we nurture them.
During this practice, Kerry will also offer short personal energy healing Reiki treatments to each practitioner to assist in releasing any energetic blocks or suppressed emotions.
Please note: there is no yoga asana; all that is needed is for the practitioner to get comfy and listen to the sound of Kerry's voice guiding them through various stages of Yoga Nidra which induce total calm within the mind and body. It is said that 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 2-4 hours of sleep in the body.
Common Benefits to Yoga Nidra:
A calmer nervous system
The release of negative thought patterns
Help with insomnia, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain.
Reiki is spiritually guided life energy known as Ki or Chi. Ki is the non-physical energy used by healers. Chi flows through to harmonize imbalances that may be physical, mental or emotional. Using hands-on healing with light touch or above body hand placement (floating hands), this gentle, non-invasive modality can treat physical pain as well as depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, and much more.
