My simplified attempt to explain yoga nidra by using an analogy in a story telling format. Yoga Nidra is the pie we'll make... the tree is the yoga system and a branch, Raja Yoga, that bears 8 apples for the pie... one of them being the apple we need.

Separating into Nothingness

Tuesday Mar 19, 2024
Personal story of observation and disappearing into nothingness... where our body has the ability to separate and become one with everything around us.
When you look at life, there's a lot of times when we can't put our finger on it, but it doesn't feel right. Something doesn't feel right, because we're off path. But I didn't know that then. We've all experienced moments of being an outlier...

Your Host
Hi, I'm Polly Behringer,
Holistic Modalities Physical & Emotional Trauma Release / Relief
I initially created this podcast for two strong reasons; to help my body recover nightly as I walked the Camino de Santiago, a 500+ mile walk across Spain... and for the clients I would not be accessible to while gone.
Now, that I'm back I will be adding episodes that contains an accumulation of answers to the many questions I receive about modalities such as; trauma release, yoga nidra, pranayama, energy cultivation & expansion, speeding up the healing process, letting go of hurt, lucid dreaming, reframing / rewriting the past, paradigm shifting, journaling methods & moving into a life where you take risks.
I record the episodes the way I would if we were sitting together. Episodes range from 6 - 15 minutes when explaining the mechanics & benefits of modalities. I'll share personal experiences & stories as I moved into discovering these practices, my personal adventures... See, once you begin to heal the way you view your body... you expand your own realm of possibilities.
You have the option to listen episodes of Yoga Nidra sessions to help you reset & peace emotionally & physically. I will include guest and sharing their own personal experiences and what has helped them too.
