Welcome to our transformative session of Nova Nidra, guided by Ayla Nova. This ancient practice of Yoga Nidra or 'yogic sleep' allows us to delve deeply into relaxation while maintaining a trace of awareness.

Understanding Cutting Cords: Historically, the practice of cutting cords stems from various spiritual traditions, where it is used to sever energetic ties that bind us to past experiences or relationships that no longer serve our highest good. These ties are thought to impact our emotional and energetic health, and cutting them is seen as a way to cleanse our spirit or aura and reclaim personal energy.

In today's session, Ayla Nova honours the courage it takes to engage in this deep healing work. We begin by setting the stage for a comfortable practice, aligning the body and calming the mind. You will be guided through the layers of your being—from the physical to the profound—using the gentle flow of breath and the power of intention (Sankalpa) to foster inner peace and release.

'Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.' – Eckhart Tolle
