Positive Start Yoga Nidra Meditation 12/30/2024

Positive Start Yoga Nidra Meditation Not being a fan of "New Year New You" - I still think we can begin to plant the seeds of our intentions for positve change for the months or year to come. We plant the seeds now (or indeed any time of the year) and, just like in Nature, we wait for them to germinate and flourish. We visit a winter garden, but one where the snowdrops are just beginning to push up through the soil...new growth is already happening and yours can too. I hope you enjoy this episode. ** Please do not listen whilst driving or operating machinery. Settle yourself comfortably at home, on your mat or bed, with a light weight blanket over you to keep cosy. "" /episode/index/show/birchmoon/id/34660415
