N.097 Yoga Nidra for Addiction Recovery | Healing Sleep Series

Whether you're navigating the challenges of substance abuse, technology dependency, food-related struggles, or other forms of addiction, this Yoga Nidra session is designed to support you on your healing journey. Join Ayla Nova in this healing practice and discover compassionate understanding inspired by the insightful teachings of Dr. Gabor Maté.Together, we'll explore the multifaceted nature of addiction—acknowledging it as a reaction to underlying pain, longing, or unmet needs—rather than viewing it as a personal failing. This practice is an invitation to all, regardless of the specific challenges you face, offering a pathway through the difficulties of addiction with grace and self-compassion.'Addiction is not a choice that anybody makes; it’s not a moral failure. What it actually is: it’s a response to human suffering.'— Dr. Gabor Maté🌙 Session Focus:• Healing and Self-Renewal: Addressing the roots of addiction to foster healing and renewal.• Radical Self-Acceptance: Cultivating self-acceptance for inner peace amidst life's adversities.• Deep Relaxation: Enhancing sleep and self-connection through profound relaxation.00:00 Introduction00:12 Welcoming Words from Ayla Nova02:15 Preparing for Yoga Nidra03:33 The Practice of Yoga Nidra Begins NowLATEST EVENT OFFERING:Join the New Moon Nidra | LIVE Virtual Event | April 7 @ 6PM PTRegister here: https://aylanovanidra.mykajabi.com/newmoonnidraSpecial thanks to the community supporters:🌟 Brian L🌟 Joe J🌟 Carl A🌟 Val ET🌟 Laura T🌟 Tania S🌟 Marco M🌟 Smoke J🌟 Lucas M🌟 Jill CSponsor & Support Ayla Nova Nidra through 'Gifts of Gratitude':https://bio.site/aylanovanidra -or- https://www.aylanova.com/Monthly Podcast Subscription: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/yoga-nidra-beyond-ayla-nova--5641302/support🔄 When to Practice:Yoga Nidra (NSDR) is a resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and to receive deep restorative rest.
