016: Yoga Nidra - The Prayer of the Breath
About this episode
This episode explores a Yoga Nidra practice focused on the Hamsa mantra to support healing and stress release.
Welcome back to the in-between state. This practice is in the structure taught and recommended by Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, whom is a constant reference point for me in the creation of healing, gentle yoga nidra practices. You can learn more about her here: https://www.yoganidranetwork.org/. This practice is intended to support healing and release the effects of stress on your bodymind. In it, we explore the Hamsa mantra, among other techniques. The word Hamsa translates to "swan" in Sanskrit, and in yoga, it also refers to the breath. The mantra's two syllables, ham and sa, represent the breath's in-breath and out-breath, as well as the life force's ascending and descending currents. The mantra is thought to open a doorway to the experience that that we are identical to the Absolute, or transcendental Self, and the great Life of the cosmos. May this practice contribute to your life in a postive way.
