In this exercise we will explore the difference between thinking and feeling. This distinction is what explains one of the reasons Yoga Nidra is such a powerful healing tool.

In the last exercise we established our inner resource. Now take some time to melt into your felt sense of well being and ease within. The more we practice finding the stillness within, the easier it becomes to drop into calm when we need it most.

NOT a meditation. This episode is a journaling exercise for healing PTSD.  Similar to your heartfelt mission and your intention, your inner resource will allow you to feel in control of your life once more. This exercise will assist you in creating your inner resource. Pen and paper required.
