Yes that’s it! For me, both are complementary and I regularly practice either or both depending on what my body and mind need. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Thank you for that ! When I first started my practice yoga nidra was the one discipline that allowed me to go deeper and then I was able to explore much more. Yes relaxed awareness . Good talk ! 🙏🏻

So clear and specific! All integrated aspects simply describing the shift "from thinking and doing" to "feeling and being"!

Thank you - yoga nidra helps me a lot on those nights when I have trouble falling asleep. I’m very sensitive to the voice, I must feel very secure with the person who guides, like you and some others, 🙏✨
