*meditation begins promptly*

Welcome to this guided Yoga Nidra, the companion meditation to episodes 18 & 19 regarding Maternal Mental Health in this Western society.

Experience this ancient practice known as Yoga Nidra, listen as often as you like (I encourage four sessions each week, but even once a week is highly profound & restorative).

BE SMART! Do not listen while driving, or while operating heavy machinery.

Before you begin, you are ensuring that you have spoken to your doctor or other health care provider to confirm that you are healthy and able to participate in this deep sleep meditation practice.

TO PRACTICE:

• lay flat on your back, to ensure a deeper meditative state it is recommended to not prop up the head (if you must, do so)
• option to place rolled towel/blanket under the knees for additional support and to reduce low-back pain
• keep a blanket nearby or place one over your torso for warmth (body temperature drops during deep mediation)
• resist the urge to move or fidget, but make any adjustments necessary and then return to stillness promptly
• ask family members and animal companions to keep quiet and not disturb you for the entire duration of this meditation
• enjoy! and please leave a comment, feedback or a testimonial if you feel prompted >^.^<
