Yoga Nidra means yogic rest or sleep. It is an ancient practice intended to induce full-body relaxation and a deep meditative state of consciousness. Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of complete relaxation, holistically addressing our physiological, neurological, and subconscious needs. A trained Yoga Nidra teacher uses a variety of techniques—including imagery and body scanning —to aid relaxation. Usually practiced reclining comfortably in savasana posture, Yoga Nidra allows time for the client/practitioner to physiologically and psychologically sink into it—at least 20 to 45 minutes. The session begins by quieting the overactive conscious mind, then moves into a meditative state, gradually finding a state of ultimate harmony, in which the brain waves slow down opening to the power of positive intention - and a subtle euphoria emerges.
Though most may not slip easily into the more advanced stages in the first practice, they still tend to emerge feeling deeply rested and rejuvenated and many times delighted by their inner journey. No experience is required for this practice and there is no way to do it wrong. When experienced regularly, this “rest medicine” uniquely unwinds the nervous system, which is the foundation of the body's well-being”.
Animal Assisted Therapeutic Guide
Animals have been incorporated into many healing practices because of the unconditional love, empathy, and whimsical spirit they possess. Hanging out with our furry friends has long been believed, and is now scientifically proven to lower blood pressure levels, to naturally calm anxiety, as well as assist in overcoming depression. Our human body naturally responds to our connection to animals by increasing oxytocin levels (the “bonding hormone”), increasing dopamine levels (a neurotransmitter associated with rewards), and decreasing cortisol levels (the “stress hormone”).
Sheryl is also AaTs - animal assistance in therapies certified. Her private holistic mentoring sessions are uniquely supported by her English Cream Retriever, Peace puppy Gabriel, who is a credentialed Animal Assistance in Therapy dog.
Gabriel was born to do this work in the world with me, He is a natural, intuitive healer and motivator.
