🤩 SO excited to have a new "Melanie" nidra to bathe in! This is beautiful ❤. I drifted in and out quite a lot and I only remember bits and pieces. This often happens for me with a new practice - it takes me a few times before I manage to maintain continual awareness throughout. I used to get a bit frustrated with the zoning out and try too hard to "fight it" (lol, which was kind of counter- productive - I'd just end up listening to a recording in "beta" brain mode 😂!) But I really like how this happens for me now. Its my way of really savouring all the parts, and I get to look forward to discovering something new and building on the experience each time I repeat a practice - then after a few times the "WOW!" one happens where the whole thing comes together. Hahaha! I always WAS "that" kid who, at Christmas time, would ceremoniously open each parcel one at a time, carefully unpeeling every piece of sticky tape without tearing the paper and slowly unwrapping it layer by layer, then spend time thoroughly exploring and quietly treasuring each gift - then make sure I put it somewhere "safe" (along with my neatly folded pile of colourful wrapping paper...)
I LOVE this! I was a rip and tear kid but as I've gotten older I take so much joy in each moment of the present from unwrapping to integrating into my home. I have been listening to a nidra for over a year and recently just heard something new inside it. I have no idea how I have been unconscious through that specific part for so long and now suddenly remained aware. It is a practice of mystery revealing parts of ourselves when we're ready. Thank you, as always, for such a lovely and thoughtful review ♥️
Sooooo good! This week I've worked through this series for the third time. Every experience is different, with new and bigger insights. Thank you so much Melanie for sharing your amazing gift. 🙏 ❤
The dreadful, multiple ads totally destroy the whole notion of meditation. I can't believe that these ads were inserted into this recording. Folks, do NOT use this meditation. It is a disaster!
This truly breaks my heart. I have no control over the ads and it’s only started happening over the last year. I’m trying to grow connection and an audience, yet it’s creating a huge divide and doing the exact opposite. I’m contemplating removing my nidras as I agree with you and there’s nothing I can do unless I have a bigger audience. I hope RU-vid looks at this but it’s been going on a while now
This is so sad to read! Sad for those missing out on the these beatiful, healing journeys, and for the amazing teachers, trainers and guides who give their time and share their amazing content and creations only to have their work dismissed, criticised and unappreciated because RU-vid sticks ads in the middle of their videos. I've been using Melanie Dawn's guided Yoga Nidras for quite a while now and have found them truly beautiful and transformational. If You Tube is your preferred source of guided meditations and spiritual practices, I highly recommend upgrading to Premium so you don't get the ads. Alternatively, Insight Timer is a great option. Look up Melanie Dawn on there for the best Nidra practices you'll find anywhere (that is IMO, of course - but I've explored a LOT of them over several years!). There are also a whole host of other teachers, trainers and guides on there with beautiful offerings.
This was absolutely life changing really amazing ❤ Some feedback would be some extra echo to ur voice an also lower volume couldn't sink into the music 🎵 Anyways ❤ love the channel Great work ❤
The opposite sensations weaved back and forth through breath and visualization which was very cool to guide! Thanks for listening. Let's pray the ads stay away 😂
Melanie it looks like you have the subscribers you need but just need more viewing hours, is that right? From now on (when I remember 🙄) I'm going to have your recordings playing in the background even when I'm not listening 😂, will that help boost the hours? Not for myself obviously as I have YT Premium so don't get the ads anyway, for all the others out there who could benefit so much from your beautiful work if they could access it as you intend instead of ruined by RU-vid filling it with ads. ❤
I completely agree. I'm working towards monetizing the account which will allow control of if/when ads run. This requires a certain amount of followers and watch hours that I'm almost at!! Currently its up to RU-vid when these run, unless you have a paid account. If you do want to listen to my Nidra's without interruption I encourage you to visit my Insight timer account. The link can be found in the video descriptions.
Gah! I wish I could stop it for you all on this platform! It’s so frustrating they do this to all my relaxiation practices. On Insight timer app you can listen ad tree
Nobody will watch this or follow you wit h interupting ads. It completely destroys the practice of nidra. Create other videos with ads. You just lost a potential subscriber.
@@melaniedawnyoga What good is monetization if you can't build up an audience first? Make videos where you explain aspects of yoga and monetize those, leave the meditations without interruptions. Nobody will want that so you won't even get enough views to earn money. Any meditation with interruptions are meaningless, you can't even get into a meditative state that way. People will leave and won't come back. You have a great practice and a nice voice, but ads make them unusable. Is it about service to others, or about making? 🙏
So frustrating, as a creator it's a lot of energy & time to make these videos & upload them only to have them interrupted by ads that profit RU-vid. There's a way to put these ads at the beginning & end of videos, but only once a larger following is reached. Seems backwards to me, how can we meditate with ads interrupting? Perhaps feedback to RU-vid would be helpful. @@phixphixation7261
@@melaniedawnyoga How do you become monetized, is that an account wide issue? I thought certain videos can be monetized while others don't have to be. I hope things will work out for you, you do good work. 🙏
Loved this version of the challenge, thank you Mel. This has really opened my eyes and heart to trusting myself and my practice. Your cues always land exactly how I need them to.
This 28 day challenge has been the inspiration to get on my mat & allow my practice to be what it will be. I challenged myself in many poses and I showed up for myself. Thank you for hosting this!
Thank you. Something you said gave me the courage to lift my feet in crow…I’ve had a mental block since I had a pretty nasty crow injury last year. Thank you for your reassuring words.
