Journey Description
Dear Friend,
If you’re feeling dysregulated, activated, overwhelmed, wired yet tired, or depleted - this yoga nidra journey to support the nervous system is for you. Yoga nidra (also called NSDR or non-sleep deep rest) is an easeful practice where you’re encouraged to suspend any effort and doing, and simply rest in being, just as you are. Regular practice can have profound effects on the nervous system - helping you cultivate a felt sense of safety, balance, restoration, resilience and - regulation.
Each audio experience within this series expands upon the previous one by immersing more fully into the practice of deep rest. For optimal benefits, I recommend nourishing your nervous system with the entire journey over the course of between a few days to one week (if possible). If that timing doesn’t work for you - know that a single yoga nidra practice can shift the nervous system from the sympathetic (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) state to the parasympathetic (rest/digest) state.
Please think of my guidance as suggestion, make any adaptations that serve you, and practice in whatever supported position feels best. If you drift off to sleep - that’s likely the exact restful medicine you need - know that you are still receiving all the benefits of the practice.
May this journey soothe and support you.
With Love,
Kelsea
Journey Tracks
Yoga Nidra For Quick Nervous System Reset (432 Hz Singing Drum)
This 8-minute NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) is an abbreviated Yoga Nidra designed to quickly reset a dysregulated nervous system. You'll be guided through two physiological sighs — a research-backed breathing technique that signals safety to the vagus nerve, full body scan, breath awareness, and resting in awareness itself. The background soundscape features the Vermont Singing Drum (Bliss Drum) — a tongue drum in A Major pentatonic, tuned to 432 Hz, played and recorded by me. The soothing, resonant tones of the drum pair naturally with this guided rest practice to support a sense of safety and ease.
Yoga Nidra To Regulate The Nervous System (Voice Only)
This 20-minute Yoga Nidra (NSDR or Non-Sleep Deep Rest) is designed to gently reset and regulate the nervous system. You'll be guided through settling in with physiological sighs, setting a sankalpa (heart's intention), full body scan, breath awareness and counting, resting in pure awareness itself, planting your sankalpa in the deepest state, and integrating and awakening. This is a voice-only practice, which can be particularly supportive if you're feeling overstimulated.
Yoga Nidra For Vagus Nerve & Nervous System Support (Gentle Forest Stream Sounds)
This 22-minute Yoga Nidra (NSDR or Non-Sleep Deep Rest) is designed to gently reset and support both the vagus nerve and nervous system. The practice opens with an invitation to join in or receive the vibrations of sustained OMS. You'll then be guided through settling in with physiological sighs, setting a sankalpa (heart's intention), full body scan, breath awareness, sensing heaviness and lightness, resting in pure awareness itself, planting your sankalpa in the deepest state, and gently awakening. The background soundscape is of a gentle stream trickle with other soft forest sounds, recorded by me in my own backyard to provide an immersive, living, spacious, and grounded experience.
