Held by the Earth: Three Celtic-Inspired Yoga Nidras for Deep Rest
Your Guide
A philosopher, theologian and spiritual companion , Dee offers reflections and practices for over-busy humans who give deeply from Celtic spirituality, compassion and the wisdom of the seasons.
Journey Description
A collection of three deeply restorative Yoga Nidra practices, created as a balm for the over-busy human living through the demands of twenty-first-century life.
Inspired by Celtic spirituality and its enduring sense of kinship with the natural world, these practices invite you to rest into the ancient holding of earth, water and night. Each offers a different doorway into rest: returning to the Earth’s embrace, finding ease when sleep will not come, and replenishing a nervous system wearied by stress or overwhelm.
There is nothing to achieve and nowhere else you need to be. You are invited simply to lie down, listen and allow yourself to be held—softening back into the body, the rhythms of nature and the deeper belonging that has never left you.

Returning To The Earth's Embrace - Yoga Nidra
When life has been full, the body often holds more than we realise.
This Yoga Nidra invites you into a state of deep, restorative rest—where the body can soften, the mind can quieten, and the nervous system can begin to reset.
Guided by gentle awareness and inspired by Celtic spirituality, you’ll be led into the felt sense of being held by the earth itself—steady, ancient, and supportive.
There is nothing to do here.
No effort to get it right.
Just a soft returning…
to breath, to body, and to belonging.
You may drift, rest deeply, or even fall asleep—all are welcome.
Yoga Nidra - For A Resful Night When Sleep Won't Come
For the nights when your body is tired, but your mind won’t settle.
This gentle Yoga Nidra is designed to help you soften out of the effort of trying to sleep, and instead rest deeply—allowing sleep to come naturally, if and when it’s ready.
Through slow body awareness, extended exhale breathing, and a calming nighttime visualisation, you’ll be guided into a space where the nervous system can unwind and the body can feel safe again.
Rooted in the stillness of the night and the quiet holding of the natural world, this practice offers a simple invitation: You don’t need to force sleep. You are allowed to rest.
Yoga Nidra For Nervous System Reset
A deeply nourishing Yoga Nidra practice for when your body is asking for true rest—not just sleep, but restoration.
This guided practice supports the release of accumulated tension and invites the nervous system into a state of deep repair.
Inspired by Celtic connection to land and water, you’ll be guided through gentle body awareness and a restorative visualisation of healing waters—washing through body and mind, carrying away fatigue and returning a quiet vitality.
This is a space to put everything down.
To be held.
To be replenished.
Ideal if you are experiencing chronic stress, burnout, overwhelm, or emotional fatigue.
