Integrative Restoration iRest Yoga Nidra Training for Health, Healing

peace, during even your most difficult times. It accomplishes this through 1) the release of long-held negative
emotions and beliefs that give rise to self-destructive patterns and 2) the embodiment of pure awareness, so that
you may live a contented life, free of conflict, anxiety, fear, dissatisfaction and suffering. In its ultimate
form the practice is a direct pointer to your recognition of absolute freedom-your underlying true nature. Location:
