And a desire for higher love making sweeps you upwards.
Distance does not make you falter.
Now arriving in magic, flying,
and finally insane for the light,
you are the butterfly and you are gone.”[/blockquote][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][heading]Yoga Nidras[/heading][vc_column_text margin_top=”no-top” margin_bottom=”no-bottom”]Yoga Nidra is a meditative practice which helps facilitate deep rest and healing. The words yoga nidra mean “yogic sleep” the idea being, that we rest between wakefulness and sleep. In this place our brain waves can slow right down lending us to experience deeper levels of awareness and within this the potential for rest and healing. It is a practice that has been a great gift to me and one that I would not want to be without.
Please ensure you are in a safe, warm space to practice where you will not be disturbed. I offer this practice free of charge so that it is available to all. But if you feel inclined to make a donation you are welcome to do so using the paypal button below.

I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes
a circle of light for everyone,
and then no one outside learns of you.
But the darkness pulls in everything:
shapes and fires, animals and myself,
how easily it gathers them! –
powers and people –
and it is possible a great energy
is moving near me.
I have faith in nights.
