Today we are joined by Tracee Stanley, author of the best selling book, Radiant Rest: Yoga Nidra for Deep Relaxation and Awakened Clarity and of the upcoming book The Luminous Self: Sacred Yogic Practice and Rituals to Remember Who You Are.  We explore the transformative power of yoga nidra, its connection to the feminine, creating spaciousness, rest, and ancestral healing. Uncover the profound wisdom Tracee imparts on the importance of nature, the value of deep relaxation, and the divine creativity that emerges from embracing stillness.

Today we discuss:

• Tracee’s first ten years being raised in a strict, overprotective home where freedom was limited, but education and space for daydreaming, reading, and learning were emphasized
  
• The importance of Tracee’s Nana, and what she learned by observing her power and ability to hold space for others
  
• Tracee’s first experiences with Yoga Nidra, and how it evolved, including her awareness that Yoga Nidra was “the Goddess”
  
• The power of ancestral healing, and how to call in the ancestors that are well in spirit
  
• How Tracee views “re-wilding” in her book Radiant Rest as taking the practices directly into nature.  Practice and nature are not separate, and we are not separate from nature.
  
• The benefits of committing to more time in rest
  

“Since the invention of the lightbulb it has disconnected us from the cycles of nature.  When we start resting we can start to connect to our own nature, which is nature and that in itself is healing.” -Tracee
