Episode Information
Over Winter it is all too easy to lose that sense of connection to the earth. Huddling inside we miss out on the feeling of the earth beneath our feet and all the scents of crispy winter air. This nidra is here to remind you to keep that connection even if you are stuck indoors in pouring rain. It is also helpful for anyone in a time of transition. This nidra practice is 27 mins long.
