When I introduce people to Yoga Nidra for the first time, sometimes I feel like a bit of a snake oil salesman, claiming all of these incredible benefits and then saying ‘AND IT’S SO EASY TOO!’

But…the fact of the matter is…everything I claim in terms of its benefits is accurate. It really IS that good. And it really IS that easy.

Here’s a little summary of how Yoga Nidra can help you…

New Year's is a powerful time to connect to the possibility of a new beginning. It's pretty much the only time that we, as a collective, regardless of religious beliefs, are encouraged to consciously take time in self-inquiry.

But most of us aren't taught how to engage in this process in a way that truly inspires growth…and so, most of our New Year's Resolutions just become annual reminders of all of the ways we’re not proving our worth. All the ways we’re proving to ourselves we’re not enough.

This is a symptom of a larger problem: for many of us, self-inquiry tends to be rooted in negative self-talk and self-judgment….

My best friend called me a few nights ago, asking how to get back to the positive person she used to be and stop being so frustrated and angry.

These are the 4 things I told her - including why lying to yourself might be the true key to happiness and peace.

I wanted to share a little Personal Growth Realization that I'm pretty stoked about - as well as some important wisdom reminders for you. Including the number one thing you need to stop doing on your Personal Growth path. Plus a couple of journal prompts for autumn…because why not?!? 🤓

As some of you know, I just presented Yoga Nidra at the Biohacking Conference. While I was there, I met a guy named Chris. Right before I left, he asked me “So what did you learn from this experience, Hilary?” 🧐

i surprised myself a bit when i heard myself say….

The 3 things I stopped saying, why I cut them from my life - and what I say instead. Developing mindfulness of speech is a key part of an embodied spiritual practice.

Words matter. We know this. Both the words we speak out loud and the words we speak to ourself.

Words create worlds, they say. Sit with that for a moment. Contemplate it. How do your words create your world?

Just like in every aspect of our life - we can develop patterns of speech and communication that do not serve us.

When you first start to learn about Human Design, it feels like you’re learning a whole new language. And you kind of are! I hope this little glossary of terms helps you wrap your head around the basic concepts so you can understand your chart better.

Learning about Human Design helped me let go of a ‘compare and despair’ mentality. 

I always had so much shame about not being more productive and not being able to work harder - even as a rest-obsessed meditation teacher. (Societal conditioning runs DEEP.)
