iRest is guided meditation that is rooted in Yoga Nidra which fosters deep relaxation, emotional balance, and self-awareness. By welcoming thoughts and feelings without judgment, it helps reduce stress, ease trauma, and uncover an inner sense of peace, resilience, and wholeness.
iRest #1 - Inner Resource
This iRest meditation focuses on integration, learning to welcome all experiences—sensations, emotions, thoughts, joy—with a "yes." It cultivates an unchanging awareness that exists between sleep and wakefulness, promoting deep healing and allowing you to respond skillfully to life, fostering continuous well-being.
iRest #2 - Intention & Heartfelt Desire
This iRest meditation guides you to a peaceful "inner resource" by gently observing sensations, breath, emotions, and thoughts. It fosters spacious awareness by exploring opposites and affirming desires. The practice culminates in recognizing your unchanging, perfect self, leading to profound well-being and gratitude.
iRest #3 - Body, Breath, and Sensing
This meditation focuses on breath and body sensing to skillfully navigate life and cultivate well-being.
