Yoga Nidra Meditation — Inner Smile 2 09/04/2024

Along with the inner smile circuit approaching various realms of polarities by befriending the opposites with the smile.
Just watch the melting of tensions as you connect with the innocence of a tender, gentle smile... how it cultivates inner peace, and a natural joy.

Yoga Nidra Meditation — Inner Smile 1 10/03/2024

The Inner Smile - introduced to me during silent retreats of meditation training with Hridaya Yoga, Mexico. Some years later, it brings much joy to finally create a Nidra inspired by this powerful technique ode to the Tao tradition.
A smile that is not an outward projection but applied inwardly renders a vibrational effect on the organs and structures, elevating the whole body-mind experience, cultivating:
-Deep inner peace
-Harmony
-Emotional resilience

by calming the entire nervous system, and is why it is also known as the healing smile🙂
I would love to hear your experience, please feel welcome to share with a comment below. I am excited to release The Inner Smile 2 soon.
So much Love ❤️

Heart Chakra Yoga Nidra 30/12/2023

Something for you to relax to and enjoy now and forever, a guided wakeful sleep meditation to activate the Heart Chakra for soul emergence.
Soul emergence arises naturally in deep states of meditation but can also be drawn outwardly into the mundanity of everyday living, naturally. Into any preconceived ideas, distortions, and misconceptions. Any pressures and overwhelm of who you should be with and where and how things should be. This inner immersion cultivates a calm atmosphere for an overactive mind to soothe the nervous system, enabling the naturalness of the soul to rise to the surface. An exploration that welcomes your soul desires by deepening receptivity with your soul expressions, influencing greater love and effortless peace through the meeting of your true light with the outer world.
So much Love, Niamh 💗

"On those days when you miss someone the most,
love yourself harder."
Full poem below 💗

On those days when you miss someone the most, as though your memories are sharp enough to slice through skin and bone, remember how they loved you.

Remember how they loved you and do that, for yourself.

In their name, in their honour.

Love yourself, as they loved you.

They would like that.

On those days when you miss someone the most,

love yourself harder.

A sleep-like state of deep rest, be open to receive experiential recovery and rest while the magic of wakeful sleep gets to work! Prepare with blankets, pillows, cushions for comfort, and an eye covering.
