The Blooming Spirit Podcast with Nola Bloom

The Heart Knows the Way: A Bhakti MeditationThis tender and luminous meditation invites you to soften into the wisdom of the heart. Rooted in Bhakti Yoga—the path of love and devotion—this journey gently guides you inward to reconnect with the sacred light that lives within. After a brief introduction to the four classical paths of yoga, Nola Bloom leads you through a deeply relaxing practice of breath, awareness, and heart-centered imagery. Let yourself be held by devotion, bathed in golden warmth, and reminded that love is not something we seek—it’s something we remember. The heart knows the way. 💖🌿 Thank you for joining me on The Blooming Spirit Podcast.If this meditation nourished you, please consider leaving a 5-star review—your support helps this work reach more hearts and bring more calm into the world. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Explore more offerings at ⁠⁠⁠⁠bloomingspiritjourneys.com⁠⁠⁠⁠—including yoga & meditation sessions, women’s ceremonies, and sacred products to support your journey.🎧 Follow me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Insight Timer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for premium meditation courses and free LIVE online meditations.🌸 For personal support, I offer ⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 private sessions ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to help you deepen your practice and connect with your inner rhythm.💖 Feeling grateful?

🧜‍♀️ Yoga Nidra: Mermaid of the Sacred WatersFloat into a dreamlike realm where mermaids spiral through moonlit waters, gently tending to each part of your body with reverence and grace. This mystical Yoga Nidra journey invites you to surrender into the rhythm of your inner tides—drifting through oceanic body scans, soft breath awareness, and a descent into the deepest layers of being.Held in the embrace of sacred waters, you’ll be guided through the subtle energy body and into the quiet ocean of your inner self—where there is nothing to fix, nothing to force. Only to feel, to soften, to be.✨ This session was recorded live at The Sanctuary Thailand, where I am a resident yoga teacher. At the beginning of the class, no one had ever practiced Yoga Nidra before, so I offer a gentle introduction to this ancient practice, first documented in the Upanishads. You’ll learn how Yoga Nidra offers a journey through the koshas—the five layers of being—toward deep rest and inner union.Let the mermaids carry you home. 🌊🌿 Thank you for joining me on The Blooming Spirit Podcast.If this meditation nourished you, please consider leaving a 5-star review—your support helps this work reach more hearts and bring more calm into the world. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Explore more offerings at ⁠⁠⁠⁠bloomingspiritjourneys.com⁠⁠⁠⁠—including yoga & meditation sessions, women’s ceremonies, and sacred products to support your journey.🎧 Follow me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Insight Timer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for premium meditation courses and free LIVE online meditations.🌸 For personal support, I offer ⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 private sessions ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to help you deepen your practice and connect with your inner rhythm.💖 Feeling grateful?

And afterward, we’re often left questioning ourselves for doing something that goes against deeply ingrained patterns.In this gentle and personal episode of The Blooming Spirit Podcast, Nola Bloom explores the emotional process of holding boundaries through the lens of yoga. With honesty and heart, she shares reflections from her own journey and the teachings that continue to support her in breaking old cycles.This episode includes:🌟 A soft storytelling reflection on people-pleasing, pattern-breaking, and the fear of speaking up🌟 Yogic wisdom from Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truthfulness), and Svadhyaya (self-study)🌟 A grounding breath practice 🌟 Gentle self-inquiry prompts🌟 A powerful moment from the Bhagavad Gita🌟 Soothing affirmations for integration and emotional healingMay this episode meet you where you are, and remind you that your boundaries are sacred bridges back to yourself.🌿 Thank you for joining me on The Blooming Spirit Podcast.If this meditation nourished you, please consider leaving a 5-star review—your support helps this work reach more hearts and bring more calm into the world. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Explore more offerings at ⁠bloomingspiritjourneys.com⁠—including yoga & meditation sessions, women’s ceremonies, and sacred products to support your journey.🎧 Follow me on ⁠Insight Timer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for premium meditation courses and free LIVE online meditations.🌸 For personal support, I offer ⁠1:1 private sessions ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to help you deepen your practice and connect with your inner rhythm.💖 Feeling grateful?
