Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is an amazing technique that can help you create or increase sensation in your own body, even when you think you feel nothing.

This is typically a 30-45 minute practice or more that I have done in a shorter format with clients to increase the sensations in their body, sometimes prior to a massage. I am giving you a tiny sample of a practice you can try on your own.

To start, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and put all your focus on the little finger of your right hand. Imagine sending your breath to that finger. Visualize light from the universe pouring into this little finger. Feel the heat of the light in that finger. Feel it as it gets hotter. Now feel it cool down and turn to ice. Do you feel the cold? Allow the cold to dissipate, your finger will return to room temperature. Try to hear the sounds inside your finger. Can you feel the blood pulse there?

After you do this for a few minutes, tune into how the finger feels. Does it feel different than the rest of your fingers?

Next Level: You can totally try this on your genitals, while solo or with a partner—it’s pretty amazing
