Deep winter is the time of yin, inviting a turning inward and rest. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s also the season of the water element, which represents stillness, flow, and the subconscious.
With the buzz of the holidays and new year behind you, it’s the perfect time for deep relaxation. This meditation guides you to relax and reset your nervous system, lowering the stress hormone cortisol while improving your sleep quality, focus, and emotional regulation. It’s inspired by Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep).
Pair this meditation after this season’s Sadhana practice or try it on its own. If you’d like to go deeper into relaxation, try hypnotherapy to let go of stored anxiety or suppressed emotions that might be holding you back.
