One thing I teach in my online Yoga Nidra training is the value of starting over. Tell me if you relate to this story.
I attended college back in the era of “floppy disks” and one day I got a hard lesson on just how "floppy" these disks were.
One evening, after a grueling day of wrestling with an essay I'd been writing for weeks, what was to be my pièce de la résistance, my magnum opus, and intended to be both my senior thesis AND my entry into a prestigious essay contest, I sat down at my desk to print off my essay so I could submit it the following day and as I clicked the floppy disk into my computer and looked at the contents to find the file to print … nothing. Nada. Rien.
Floppy.
Everything on that disk had been mysteriously obliterated.
So, what did I do? What could I do?
Sitting there at my desk, I simply started over.
The words were fresh; I’d practically memorized the thing.
But this time instead of wrestling with the words and ideas, they tumbled out of my brain and danced through my fingers onto the keyboard fast and fluid. This time it formed more clearly with ideas I hadn’t even thought of the first time. This time, it had soul.
I finished the essay (again).
I graduated with my degree.
I took 1st place in the essay contest.
Starting over can be a gift.
Regardless of how many times you have to come back to your presence in meditation, it doesn't matter, starting over is a gift.
Even if you've let your meditation or yoga practice go, it doesn't matter, starting over is a gift.
No matter whatever we've lost, tried, and failed at, no matter what didn’t take the first time (or several times), starting over is a gift.
May we all celebrate the opportunity to come back to presence and start over again and again and again.
This time could make all the difference.
Online Yoga Nidra Training
I’m absolutely passionate about Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra has taught me more about myself, the Universe, and my purpose in the world than any other practice and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with you.
If you’ve ever thought about teaching Yoga Nidra, now is the time—the world needs it more than ever. Also, the world needs more qualified Yoga Nidra teachers, and this course is designed to teach you to become a Yoga Nidra expert, delivering this healing practice in the power of your own voice— because there’s no one who can teach like you can.
One of the things I’ve learned about Yoga Nidra is that even though practicing it is very easy and can lead to profound transformation, being an effective Yoga Nidra facilitator can be very difficult. This is why I’ve created Facilitating Transformation with the Yoga of Sleep, an enlightening, engaging, and enjoyable online Yoga Nidra teacher training where you will learn the art and science of teaching Yoga Nidra using the power of your own voice. You’ll also learn how to apply your expertise to acquire and create excellent teaching opportunities through live or online group classes, workshops, courses, private sessions, and even how to lead yoga retreats and other paid events. I’ll even teach you how to create digital products to sell and share your teaching gifts with the world. In short, you’ll learn how to make a massive impact while making a great living doing what you love.
