Befriending Challenging Emotions
iRest® Yoga Nidra with Karen Soltes
Six 1-hour sessions
Meditation can create a deep state of relaxation in the body and mind. As we start to relax, a range of emotions residing below the surface may rise up.
iRest® Yoga Nidra is a meditation that offers us an opportunity to meet, allow, and welcome the full range of our emotions. As we find ways to befriend what may arise, we come to understand the wisdom our emotions carry.
This series shares different approaches to create a safe experience to invite and welcome our emotions, particularly the ones that are challenging to be with. As we meet, greet, and welcome these emotions, we come to understand the deeper wisdom they bring forward, which inform the actions we need to take in the world.
iRest Yoga Nidra is a form of mindfulness meditation that is easily learned and practiced. iRest invites us to connect to the deeper stillness that is always present.
