Beltane Spring Renewal Yoga Nidra 2024 Recorded live May 1, 2024, at Blue Hot Yoga www.bluehotyoga.com By Melissa Abbott after 26 postures and two breathing exercises in a Hatha Yoga class. This Spring Renewal Yoga Nidra honors the May 1 or May Day tradition, known in the Celtic Tradition as Beltane. Beltane is a Celtic festival that marks the beginning of the warmer season, typically celebrated on May 1st. The origins of Beltane can be traced back to ancient Gaelic traditions and is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Imbolc, Lughnasadh, and Samhain. Beltane is a fire festival that celebrates fertility, growth, and the blossoming of the earth. It is a time when the veil between the human world and the spirit world is believed to be thin, allowing for easier communication with the divine and the fae folk. Traditionally, Beltane was a time for lighting bonfires, dancing around the Maypole, and performing rituals to honor the earth and encourage abundance and prosperity for the coming season. Today, Beltane is still celebrated by modern people as a time to honor the earth, connect with the cycles of nature, and celebrate the vitality and energy of the season. It is a time for planting seeds, setting intentions, and embracing the energy of growth and renewal that comes with the warmer months.

Pulsation of Consciousness Yoga Nidra 14:52

Pulsation of Consciousness Yoga Nidra This 15-minute Yoga Nidra meditation draws inspiration from the profound teachings of the Spanda Karikas, specifically verses 30-34, penned by the sage Vasugupta in 800 CE. The term "Spanda" in Sanskrit refers to the Divine Creative Pulsation of Consciousness, while "Karikas" denotes a collection of verses. These timeless verses, originating over a millennium ago, encapsulate the wisdom of Shaiva Tantra Meditation, offering invaluable insights for our modern lives. In the container of this Yoga Nidra practice, we are guided into a state of deep relaxation, where we effortlessly tap into our own inner pulsating creative awareness. As we surrender to the practice, we connect with the essence of Spanda, experiencing the profound interplay between our consciousness and the divine creative energy that permeates all of existence. This meditation invites us to explore the depths of embodied consciousness, allowing us to access a state of profound relaxation and inner stillness. By aligning ourselves with the pulsation of consciousness, we open ourselves to the infinite possibilities and creative potential that reside within us.
