Wow! I have practiced many Nidra sessions but wow wow wow! Probably the most thorough Yifa Nidra practices I've ever done. Really appreciated the explanations and process. Nidra in the morning is like extra sleep to me. For body and soul. I will definitely be visiting your other meditations!! So many thanks! ☮️💖🙏🖖🪷🕉

Dear Melanie, this is the most beautiful Nidra I've experienced until now. It was a true alchemical journey. I really love your different and unique approach of Nidra storytelling. So in love with the ocean and water elements from this session. Thank you kindly 🙏🤍✨️

This practice really stands out from other yoga nidra I have done previously. Key concepts are explained properly. I feel it was more powerful and effective.
