Yin & Meridian Nidra (20 hrs)

Meridian Nidra is a unique 10-stage visualisation practice developed by Jo Phee, inspired by the ancient art of Yoga Nidra and integrated with the principles of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture meridian theory. Harnessing the power of the mind and focused visualisation, this practice guides awareness through the body’s meridian pathways, with the intention of mobilising Qi (vital energy) and cultivating a greater sense of energetic flow and balance.

Through guided visualisation and deep relaxation, Meridian Nidra invites the body to shift away from the demands of constant activity and into a state of profound rest and restoration.

On a physiological level, deep relaxation supports the regulation of the autonomic nervous system, encourages parasympathetic activity, reduces stress and muscular tension, and promotes calmer breathing and a more restful state of mind. With regular practice, it may also support emotional regulation, improve sleep quality, and enhance our capacity to recover from the cumulative effects of everyday stress.

On an energetic level, Meridian Nidra draws upon the Chinese Medicine understanding of Qi and its movement through the body’s meridian network. By combining the power of the mind with intentional awareness and visualisation, practitioners explore how mental focus can be used within this traditional framework to direct attention along meridian pathways and encourage the mobilisation and harmonious circulation of Qi. This offers a unique opportunity to deepen body awareness and explore the energetic relationships between the body, mind, and breath.

More than simply resting, Meridian Nidra is an immersive journey into the relationship between consciousness, physiological relaxation, and energetic awareness. It offers yoga teachers and practitioners a distinctive way to experience the restorative potential of deep relaxation while integrating the wisdom of Yoga Nidra, acupuncture meridians, and mindful visualisation into their personal practice and teaching.
