  • Why I Want to be a Certified iRest Yoga Nidra Teacher

    Author: Ægir Rafn Ingólfsson

    I started doing yoga 17 years ago. It saved my life. I had just finished an intensive academic study and training and was extremely stressed. To make a long story short, Yoga and its related teachings saved my life and my sanity. Literally. Some years later I became a certified Kripalu yoga teacher. That training seemed to make me even more sane and healthy.

    Of course the important teachings/lessons came when I started teaching others. Boy, oh boy was I at a loss time and time again. Eventually though I embodied the lessons that came my way...some of them at least! That was when my spiritual progress, maturity and understanding beautifully coalesced and I discovered iRest® Yoga Nidra. Can you imagine? It had been there all along but I did not see it. I am sure something like that has never happened to you?

  • Welcoming What Is

    Author: Priya Bhogaonker

    Spontaneously, the moment presented itself. A knowing that I must welcome the monster that I feared most. The unpredictable reality of sudden disability. Welcome it as a messenger, not a threat. Relax the defenses pushing it away and accept its paradoxical gift.

    Living with Multiple Sclerosis is a mixed bag. Many great things come with the difficulties. Love, support, deeper relationships, courage, and faith along with fatigue, fear, injections, side effects, doubts and limitations.

  • Len's Experience

    Author: Reverand L. Everett Thomas Ph.D.

    Len is a 40 year old male recent photography school grad living in Morehead City. He was recently hospitalized for nearly 6 weeks in the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, half of that time in critical care and half in a step-down unit. His primary diagnosis was acute pancreatitis. For the first two and a half weeks he was in acute DT's as well. During that time he was difficult to manage by the nursing staff because of continuous efforts to escape, pulling out tubes repeatedly and fighting day and night to escape. He was tied down hands and feet and across the abdomen, and yet pulled out the NG tubing many times.

  • A Family’s Belief in America

    Author: Cheryl LeClair

    My husband Eric did his first tour in the Marine Corps when he enlisted and served from 1987-1991. After receiving an honorable discharge he re-entered civilian life and we married three years later in 1994. We lived in Chicago where I worked as a Systems Analyst for the Chicago Tribune. Eric taught martial arts.

    After the events of 9/11 my husband’s fervent belief in America compelled him to re-enlist in the Marine Corps.
