Powerful and effective exploration of yoga nidra. I loved how Wenlin uses the concepts and imagery of the Chinese elements and creative cycle in conjunction with the processes of yoga nidra. Because I found those ideas and insights so compelling, it made yoga nidra accessible and enjoyable to me in a way I have not experienced in 7 years of attempting it on and off. And the emphasis on the power and importance of rest is life changing. Thank you for this opportunity, Wenlin. It arrived in my life right when I needed it most and is making a big difference already.
