Ancestors are those who have come before us, to whom we are linked (knowingly or unknowingly). Humans in almost all cultures have had practices and rituals to sustain a vibrant connection with those ancestors for thousands of years. But this ancestral connection has been lost to many due to culture, family beliefs, etc. In this modern world, many people feel lost and severely disconnected, finding themselves repeating the same unhelpful patterns over and over. Cultivating a relationship with our well-ancestors can be one way to heal the burdens they unknowingly passed down, and also to receive their blessings. This connection can help you remember the inner resources you already have, your ability to be resilient, and that it is possible to cultivate a fulfilling and peaceful life. 

Through this four week series, we will explore how to connect to ancestors through the practice of Yoga Nidra, or guided deep rest. You will have an introductory understanding of your various ancestral lineages whether they are genetic lineages or other.

The course will include:

-Weekly discussions. Who are the ancestors? What does it mean for an ancestor to be well? How might that connection support me?

-A new Yoga Nidra practice each week

-Recordings of the Yoga Nidra so participants can continue to explore between sessions.

-Other optional at-home practices to continue to deepen the ancestral relationship.

This series is open to anyone, although participants may find it helpful to have previous experience with meditation, guided imagery, or yoga nidra. If you would like a free beginner yoga nidra practice to utilize before this series begins, please email Andrea at askparadis@gmail.com and she will send you a link.
