From A Solid To A Liquid

Winter is represented by the medicine wheel direction of North and the colour white. In Ayurveda, winter is represented by the Kapha dosha. More than anytime during the year, winter calls us to slow down, rest and dream. This mix was designed to help bring your awareness inward; from your ordinary state of being to the non-ordinary, from consensual reality to non-consensual, from time to nature's pulse, from movement to stillness, from a solid to a liquid. This mix can be a helpful backdrop for meditation, art, restorative or yin yoga, massage tables, float tanks and especially afternoon dreaming.

In 2014, I attended my first yoga nidra workshop. During this class with well over 50 people, I drifted into sleep. I awoke right at the end of class feeling rested and relaxed, but also quite surprised that I actually feel asleep. I later found out through further practice that this is quite normal. The class taught by Giselle Mari was titled From a Solid to a Liquid. My experience during this class planted the inspirational seed for this mix, which has been growing from that day.
