Fire Wheel Yoga Nidra Immersion with Singing Bowl Sound Scape

Recorded Live at Steam House Hot Yoga & Pilates steamhousenh.com Monday Oct. 25, 2021 by Melissa Abbott melissaabbott.com with Singing Bowl Sound Scape after a Hot Power Vinyasa Class while in Savasana.
This Yoga Nidra is a beautiful Heart Based Meditation activating the Lunar Left Ida Nadi (relating to inhalation and objects of awareness) , the Central Sushumna Nadi (pure essence nature and Fire), and the Right Solar Pingala Nadi (relating to the exhale and the act of cognition) in a Caduceus meeting point at the base of the heart where all senses merge together creating an intensification/vibration of life energy transforming into a nourishing radiant wheel of Fire that uplifts the practioners natural vitality and transcendence. 
Best Practice is to lie or sit quietly, observing yourself, listen to the sound of my voice, headphones are great, relax and enjoy this guided Yoga Nidra. 
This is the set up meditation for a much longer practice of the Fire Wheel Meditation Sequence from Abinavagupta’s “ Tantrasara” Chapter 5, a 1000 year old Shaiva Tantra Text of Meditation Practices from Kashmir. The longer version is taught in retreats or in person. The set up itself is very affirming and a way to gather transcendent energy in the practitioner.

Processing & Dissolving Triggers Yoga Nidra

 Dissolving Your Triggers Yoga Nidra
This Yoga Nidra was recorded live at Steam House Hot Yoga steamhousenh.com 75 Railroad Ave., Epping NH USA on Oct 18, 2021 by Melissa Abbott melissaabbott.com with Heidi James on the Singing Bowls.
This Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique to Process those things keeping you from being in the Flow of the Universe
A powerful foundational Tantric Yoga Meditation Practice taken from the illuminated 1000+ year old spiritual masterpiece, "The Pratyabhijna-Hrdraya" also known as The Recognition Sutras. In the Recognition Sutras or The Heart of Recognition, the author, Rajanaka Ksemaraja, gives us useful and practical ways to embrace the whole of our experience of the expanded center, so we can release and surrender our identification with our psychological self, our unresolved past, stories we tell ourselves, mental constructs, and samskaras. Those things that get us triggered and stuck with revolving mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual patterns. In essence this we can move on from our conditioning and touch more deeply within ourselves.
This meditation became alive for me a couple of years ago when I took a Recognition Sutras course with Christopher Hareesh Wallis. I had actually been interested and studied this text on and off since 1991. It wasn't until his translation of the actual practices in Chapter 18 that this text spoke so clearly to my actual meditation practice. I started implementing the expanded central channel into my daily meditation sessions and the result has been stunning clarity to embrace the whole of reality.
I first received this practice in July 2019 with Christopher Hareesh Wallis at Omega Institute for Holistic Studies during retreat.
This is my interpretation of his teachings via Ksemaraja of 1000 years ago. I hope you will experience that the radical acceptance to the nature of reality means surrender to what wants to move though you. This practice has the ability to help you relax out of identification with your stories and patterns and stop clinging to aversions and self images.
Christopher Hareesh Wallis is the author of Tantra Illuminated and The Recognition Sutras and his website is Tantrikainstitute.org where you can study Tantric Yoga meditation practices. 

Awakened Awareness Yoga Nidra Immersion

Awakened Awareness
Yoga Nidra Immersion with Sound Bath
Recorded Live at Steam House Hot Yoga in Epping, NH USA

by Melissa Abbott
www.MelissaAbbott.com melissa@melissaabbott.com after a Power Vinyasa Class on Sept 11, 2021 with Heidi James on soundscape singing bowls.
This Yoga Nidra was designed to awaken the inner consciousness.   Mind/emotions/senses/thinking are here one moment and gone the next, they are ephemeral in nature. They arise and subside in a greater space of Self Awareness which is something far more fundamental than any ideas you might have about yourself. Having the realization that Awareness is not something that you do, but rather something that you Are, is a awakening of witness consciousness, a major step in personal evolution.
Make yourself comfortable, lying on your back with a natural fiber shawl covering you to contain the meditation energy. Headphones are recommended. Enjoy ❤️🙏🧘‍♀️ A Simple but Powerful Practice
