Gurudevi’s Audio Recording

By Barbara (Girijananda) Hess

The cover says it all: “Discover more of yourself in these inner explorations into the vastness of your own beingness …”

Listening to Gurudevi Nirmalananda guide me into Shavasana with this CD has supported me for many years. The CD offers a wide range of Shavasana and Ujjayi Pranayama experiences. Some are short and others long.  You can choose the tracks that fit your available time.

I especially love the Track 4 “Long Guided Awareness” with tamboura. Gurudevi begins with the familiar “Become aware of your toes, all ten toes …” Then she continues with an in-depth inner exploration throughout your body.  I especially love the section when she tracks up your spine one vertebra at a time. I must say I missed this section for more than a year.  I would pass in before I even got to the sacrum!

Now I mostly stay conscious.  I love the deepening awareness of each vertebra.  I sense the subtle presence of the inner conduit through which Kundalini arises.  I have new, deepening awareness at different areas of my internal terrain each time I dive inside with Gurudevi’s guided awareness. It gives me a full 30 minutes of Divine exploration. 

I have recommended this CD to many students who want to be guided in Shavasana in their home practice. They report, just as I do, many new insights each time they practice Shavasana guided by Gurudevi.
