People often ask me, “Why in the world would I want to feel my uncomfortable emotions?” Research shows us that regular doses of mild to moderate discomfort can make us more resilient to future discomfort. It has also been found that pushing away or resisting what we think of as “negative” emotions also dulls our ability to feel the “good” or the joyful ones. The more we are able to meet our emotions, the better able we are to be with others in the midst of their emotions. It’s a win-win situation.

 

In this 4-week series we will be incrementally and kindly, growing our ability to be with our emotional content taking plenty of time to cultivate and then rest in our Inner Resource so that when we are meeting emotions it is from a grounded center. Then we will explore ways of using the iRest Yoga Nidra foundation practices to meet any emotional guests.

 

When we practice iRest® Yoga Nidra, we take a journey through the koshas, a Sanskrit term meaning sheath or layer. The koshas are the layers that make up our humanness, such as the body, our breath & energy, emotions, beliefs, well-being, and the finer points of the ego. You will be encouraged to go at your own pace, meeting what feels appropriate for you.

 

In each class there will be an orientation as well as 1-2 iRest meditations. There will also be time for questions and reflections. Each class will be recorded and made available for 6 months to help support you in your personal practice.

This series is for any level of student. All are welcome.
