Download or read book A Yoga Teachers manual of Yoga Nidra written by Srikanth s and published by Srikanth s. This book was released on with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga Nidra helps to expand that natural moment, that twilight zone, when we are neither fully conscious nor fully asleep (just before going to sleep at night and just before becoming fully awake in the morning) from a few moments to 15 minutes and then to half an hour and so on, because during this period, we experience a great deal of physical quiet, emotional peace, mental clarity and potential blossoming of our creative potential. The main aim of Yoga Nidra is psychotherapy or chittashuddhi: All the residue of the past, the suppressed emotional junk and dross accumulated in our sub/unconscious minds creates a screen/veil between us and our Atman/soul, preventing the union. Yoga Nidra helps to purify our mind by getting rid of all that dross and junk, removes that veil/screen, allowing our true personality, strength and happiness to shine through, leading to yoga (Union with Atman/soul).

Download or read book A Queer Dharma written by Jacoby Ballard and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queer critique, queer practice: embodied teachings for healing from trauma and social injustice. Jacoby Ballard provides an empowering and affirming guide to embodied healing through yoga and the dharma, grounded in the brilliance, resilience, and lived experiences of queer folks. Part I deconstructs the ways mainstream yoga perpetuates queer- and transphobia and other systemic oppressions, exploring the intersections of yoga, capitalism, cultural appropriation, and sexual violence. Ballard also addresses the trauma--complex, vicarious, historical, and collective--perpetuated against queer communities. In response, he offers tools for self-compassion, tonglen, lovingkindness, and grounding, and helps readers explore questions like: What is trauma? How is it a product of injustice--and how can healing it create justice? The world won't stop being homo- and transphobic, so how do I encounter that in a way that does the least harm? How do we love what is uniquely trans about us? What are affinity groups, and why do we need them? In part II, Ballard offers a queer-centered, fully embodied, and equity-rooted practice with meditations, practices, and sequences for processing and healing from trauma individually and in community. He explains concepts like lovingkindness, letting go, compassion, joy, forgiveness, and equanimity through a queer lens, and pairs each with corresponding meditations, practices, and beautiful line drawings of queer bodies. Enhanced with stories from Ballard's personal practice and professional experience teaching yoga in schools, prisons, conferences, and his weekly Queer and Trans Yoga class, A Queer Dharma is a guidebook, reclamation, and unapologetically queer heart offering for true healing and transformation.
