Inner Alchemy: The Role of Nadis in Yoga Nidra’s Spiritual Transformation

 In this episode, we'll go through the power transformation that happens during Yoga Nidra as we begin to explore how the 3 main Nadis are activated during yoga nidra and the role the central nadi, Sushumna, plays an integral part of Kundalini awakening.
This is longer (less edited version) episode. I touch on so many topics such as; how our personal perception creates our reality, which limits our views of what we're truly capable of... the bank account of healing from doing Yoga Nidra, activation of the chakras during yoga nidra by the nadis. Use this episode as an overview... a guide or roadmap for the next following episodes as we take sections of this episode and dive deeper into subjects I cover.
