Blackthorn stars on the tree - lifting our hearts in the spring!
|
|
Brighter shining in her absence -
constellations at dark moon.
Spacious night sky
shows the stitches
from the needles of these stars.
And the pinpricks of their brightness
Light the path I take beneath
In the darkness of the nightwalk
I can see without the moon. . .
(excerpt from Shivaratri Dark Moon Night Walk Verses in my Patreon circle.)

Where are we going?
Last night under the Shivaratri dark moon, I was walking in the woods, looking for a lost dog as it grew darker. I usually walk at dusk and savour the liminal time - the change of gear, the shift out of daytime and into evening quiet. Mostly I am home before it's totally dark. But last night as it got darker and I found myself alone in the woodlands, I looked up at the stars and stopped in my tracks to watch the tiny pinpoints of star light growing brighter and brighter in a clear cold sky. And as my eyes adjusted I realised - I could find my way without the moon, without any torch, just by opening and opening my eyes wider in trust, the light of the stars was enough to find my way. And I realised of course - that I knew the way home without a light! The stars were enough.
And this is how I feel sometimes in the practice of yoga nidra. We all know our way home without a light! This is how it is to let yoga nidra emerge and evolve without benefit of any script or external guidance. We are finding our ways home to ourselves. And especially now, when nobody is sure about what is coming - it is both a comfort and a strength to have a practice of homecoming in our lives because it empowers us to trust we know where we are going even when it is dark!
GUIDES ON THE SIDES! IN OUR TRAININGS FOR YOU . . .
And this is how our trainings feel too for you! - we are helping you find your own way home. So we strive to be 'guides on the side' instead of 'sages on the stage', we work hard through our teamwork and teaching, to support each student to find their own way home to themselves through yoga nidras as an evolving practice in their own lives - and so we invite you to step into the path of homecoming with our trainings and be empowered to discover your own way with yoga nidra -
All our teacher and facilitator trainings begin with our Immersion Course which you take at your own pace and then coming up soon you have TWO options for facilitation training - the standard online training and a special Women-only Sanctuary Space for training - both cover the same material and offer you the same skill set and the same practical support - the difference is that the women only space will be focussing the nidras which are shared upon the topic of women's health and wellness - which means that there will be a Yoni Nidra and also encouragement and support for those working with women's health to develop their own yoga nidra practices specifically for issues such as endometriosis, menopause and fertility issues.
LEARN WITH NIRLIPTA!

He is offering the chance to explore Hypnotic Language for Yoga Nidra to learn more about this powerful tool. And you can take a deep dive into the workings of your brain on his Nidra, Neuroplasticity, Mind and Brain workshop that offers a unique series of practices that widen and deepen experiences of transformation and healing in yoga nidra.

Not only can we proudly boast that we now have free yoga nidras in 23 languages but we also have a well-stocked shop full of excellent yoga nidras for special purposes and with specific themes such as women's health, Yoni Nidra and Yoga Nidra for Children. We invite you to visit the shop and see what takes your fancy as you expand your horizons of yoga nidra and find your way home!
