Cultivating Belonging Through Transformative Practices for EVERYbody ✨ Yoga Nidra | Mindfulness | Meditation | & More ✨
Journey Description
Dear Friend,
This journey includes a collection of yoga nidras, each under 15 minutes, designed to help you pace and replenish energy. Whether you’re living with an energy-limiting condition (e.g. ME/CFS, long COVID, POTS, fibromyalgia, etc.); experiencing fatigue, insomnia, burnout, or natural shifts in stamina that accompany aging; or you’re simply in need of a break during a busy or stressful day - this journey is for you - and you deserve deep rest.
Yoga nidra (also called NSDR or non-sleep deep rest) is an easeful practice where you’re encouraged to suspend any effort and doing, and simply rest in being, just as you are. Regular practice can improve both daytime energy and nighttime sleep quality. As a person living with multiple energy-limiting conditions, yoga nidra has been a transformational and cherished part of my daily routine, helping me pace and turn what was previously the most difficult energy dip in my day into a nourishing nap I look forward to.
What might unfold for you if you were to listen to the practices here when your energy is at its lowest? Or before it's at its lowest? How might it feel for your body, mind, heart, spirit, and nervous system to take a few minutes of rest each day? Each of the yoga nidras here offer something slightly different - with various supporting soundscapes (or not), and various lengths. I encourage you to experiment with them, and see what’s most supportive for you. And I’d love to hear about your experience in the comments.
As always, please think of my guidance as suggestion, make any adaptations that serve you, and practice in whatever supported position feels best. If you drift off to sleep - that’s likely the exact restful medicine you need - know that you are still receiving all the benefits of the practice.
May this journey rejuvenate and support you - and may you experience the alchemy of rest.
With Love,
Kelsea
Journey Tracks
13-Minute Yoga Nidra (Voice Only)
In this 13-minute yoga nidra, you’ll be guided through settling in, setting a sankalpa (heart’s intention), full body scan, breath awareness, energy flow visualization, resting in awareness itself, and planting your sankalpa in the deepest state. This is a voice-only practice, which can be particularly supportive if you're feeling overstimulated.
8-Minute Yoga Nidra (Gentle Forest Stream Sounds)
In this 8-minute yoga nidra, you’ll be guided through settling in, full body scan, sensing opposite sides of the body, and resting in awareness itself. The background soundscape features a gentle stream trickle and other soft forest sounds, recorded by me in my backyard.
10-Minute Yoga Nidra (Gentle Peeper Sounds)
In this 10-minute yoga nidra, you’ll be guided through settling in, full body scan, breath awareness, energy flow visualization, and resting in awareness itself. The background soundscape features gentle peepers and other soft nature sounds, recorded by me in my front yard.
12-Minute Yoga Nidra (432 Hz Singing Drum)
In this 12-minute yoga nidra, you’ll be guided through settling in, setting a sankalpa (heart’s intention), full body scan, breath awareness and counting, resting in awareness itself, and planting your sankalpa in the deepest state. The background soundscape features the Vermont Singing Drum (Bliss Drum) — a tongue drum in A Major pentatonic, tuned to 432 Hz, played and recorded by me.
