Once a week, my good friend Cheryl (@drummer_gurl15 ) and I are fortunate to be able to offer up a Yoga Nidra class. We share one of those classes with you here. Music is medicine and Cheryl and I are blessed and honored to be able to play it forward. 🛸🎶🦋 by @thathandpanlady

🧘‍♀️🛸🎶🧘‍♂️ WHOOP WHOOP! A SPECIAL TREAT - AND IT’S FREE! A FULL AND COMPLETE “YOGA NIDRA SOUND THERAPY SESSION” 🧘‍♀️🛸🎶🧘‍♂️ which runs 51.56 long…

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation which is also known as conscious sleep. With Yoga Nidra, the goal is to move into a deep state of a conscious awareness sleep, which is a deeper state of relaxation but with awareness.

As you delve into the meditation practice, it will basically calm your sympathetic nerve and at the same time, activate the parasympathetic nerve. When those two align into a more equal balance, it benefits your immunity, your digestive system and helps with stress management.

And, in this much deeper state of relaxation, the pineal gland is also activated which releases the hormone melatonin. This melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that helps manage your immune function, cortisol levels and it induces a more restful sleep. Yoga Nidra is also highly effective in reducing anxiety and lowering blood pressure.

This video is an actual recording of a class that I and Cheryl Lynn Patton (@drummer_gurl15 ), a Certified Yoga Instructor and Guided Meditation Facilitator do weekly in Naples. The more often you do the class, the deeper you’ll find that you’re able to delve into this conscious but totally relaxed state.

This is especially good to do in the evening, but it’s certainly beneficial at any time. So grab your yoga mat, or just lay on down in a comfortable spot, preferably in a dark room or with a light blocking eye mask on, and perhaps covered with a lightweight blanket for comfort. And then, just slow your breathing down, relax, and listen to and follow along with Cheryl’s velvety words, as you drift on the melodious sounds of the handpan, chimes and a singing bowl.

I guarantee you that in a bit less than 52 minutes, if you really .. full heartedly … give this a shot… you will come out of this much more relaxed than you were when you went into it. Hope y’all enjoy!

In love, light, heath and wellness .. Deb & Cheryl 🧘‍♀️🛸🎶🧘‍♂️ by @thathandpanlady

🛸🎶 Video #2 from my visit today with a beautiful soul in hospice. ❤️ Please don’t mind the sounds of the oxygen machine in the background. Instead, take a moment to tune them out, open your heart, and just simply enjoy the music. Sometimes, music speaks where words cannot. 😊 … 🛸🎶 … 🦋 by @thathandpanlady

🪑… Sit with me on my porch for 60 seconds, as you drop your shoulders, loosen your tongue from the roof of your mouth, slow down your breathing, and just listen to the rhythmic musical sounds of nature in the NC mountains ⛰️ 🏔️ by @thathandpanlady
