In tonight’s cozy sleep story, you attend a long-awaited reunion with friends at your old summer camp. During the day, you partake in nostalgic camp activities, like archery, canoeing, and crafting. Then, in the evening, you gather around the campfire with your companions. By the light of the fire, you seem to magically transform into your younger selves, reconnecting with forgotten memories, aspirations, and intuition. If you’re still awake as the story concludes, I’ll guide you through a rejuvenating body scan inspired by Yoga Nidra.

Making resolutions & setting goals are tricky at times. We can play games, bargain and blame others as we make excuses for our lack of progress. Have you ever done that? Sometimes there is an awakening that happens -causing us to see clearly what is blocking our success.

Shiva, one of Hinduism's principal deities, embodies destruction and renewal. Known as the Destroyer within the Trimurti, which includes Brahma the Creator, and Vishnu the Preserver, Shiva's role is complex, transcending simple destruction to signify purification and regeneration. He resides on Mount Kailash, meditating deeply, yet dances the Tandava to destroy weary universes, making way for creation. Shiva is also the Lord of Yoga, mastering transcendence and inner peace. Devotees admire his contrasting personas - from the ascetic meditator to the blissful householder with Parvati. Shiva's symbols, the Trishul, and the Damaru, represent his power and the rhythm of the cosmos, inviting reverence and reflection on life's cyclical nature.
