Nidra Limbic Brain Relaxation

Deep relaxation, pre-, and post-yoga or anytime, also for therapy, particularly for autonomic nervous system issues such as arrhythmia, AF, and similar.
Moves from detailed anatomical awareness including the lobes of the brain, and vascular and nervous systems to observation of psychological and energetic patterns.
Integrates and grounds anatomical, energetic, and spiritual awareness via a process known in TaoYin as Subtle Cosmic Integration.
Recorded in a live session, including in the company of Bear, our yoga dog, and local birds.
