by Rest practices for busy, sensitive humans who crave rhythm over urgency.
The RESTED Rebel Podcast is where urgency dissolves and rhythm returns. Each episode offers short, bite sized practices including Yoga Nidra, nervous system resets, moon rituals, and embodied moments of pause, woven together with honest reflections on burnout, healing, rest, and the wild beauty of being human. This podcast serves the ones who are tired of rushing through their lives. The ones longing to slow down, soften, and reconnect with themselves again. This is rest with an edge. Tender, radical, and real. Created and hosted by Nikki of RESTED Rebel, these practices are born from my own journey of slowing down after living too fast. Episodes arrive in rhythm, not on demand. Because rest is not another task. It is a way back to yourself. Listen on Apple | Spotify restedrebel.substack.com

MoonNidra • Full Moon • Saga DawaSomething happens when I record without a script.I stop trying to teach.I stop trying to organize my thoughts.I stop trying to sound wise.And somewhere in that space, something else arrives.That is really how MoonNidra was born.People often ask me why it’s called MoonNidra.The answer is simple.I let the moon speak to me.I don’t mean that in a mystical or fortune-telling way.I mean that every month I sit down, listen, reflect, and notice what is moving through my own life.Then I share from there.This month’s Full Moon arrived during Saga Dawa, the sacred month in the Tibetan calendar.I thought I would speak about the moon.Instead, what arrived was a reflection on trust.How release is often associated with the Full Moon.But release doesn’t happen first.First comes surrender.And before surrender comes trust.Trust in the breath.Trust in the body.Trust in the effort you have already made.Trust in the life you have already lived.One of the things that surfaced during the recording was the pause after the exhale.The breath leaves.There is a moment of emptiness.And then the next breath arrives.No forcing.No chasing.No controlling.Just trust.Maybe that is the teaching the moon offered this month.Not to grip so tightly.Not to demand answers.Not to know exactly where the path leads.Just to trust the next breath.The next step.The next season.I hope this MoonNidra meets you wherever you are.Find a comfortable place to lie down.Look up at the moon if you can.And listen for what she might be saying to you.Love,Nikki 🌕P.S. Apparently this is a Blue Moon and it is the second Full Moon in the same calendar month.May 1st & now May 31 what can I say, some months bloom twice!I only found that out after recording.I smiled when I heard it.A second Full Moon.A second pause.A second breath.A second chance to loosen the grip and trust what comes next.Let’s do it!

Who is following the moon?Who does that?Why waste time?Hear me out.The moon, the sun, and the stars are some of the only things that remain true.I mean… what other truth is there?Even for people who think the world is flat…the moon, the sun, and the stars are still there.Still moving.Still cycling.Still reminding us.I grew up doing rituals according to the moon.In my culture, a newborn baby’s first haircut would happen on a Full Moon.The first baby celebration would happen on the first Full Moon after birth.For me, the moon is second nature.I pretty much rely on it, but my kids were born on waxing moon phase.I was born during the waning moon close to the Full Moon.My emotions can be wild.And honestly… maybe that makes sense.Not because I think the moon controls my life.But because it helps me pay attention to my life.While we are so busy building our dreams into reality,sometimes we forget about SELF.How have you actually been looking after yourself?What have you been eating?How have you been sleeping?Who have you been spending time with?What conversations have been shaping your energy?Have you been rushing through your lifeor actually living it?This week’s MoonNidra asks us to return to the masterplan.“Dogs bark at what they don’t understand.”“The moon does not worry about the barking of dogs.” RumiTo stay conscious.To make every breath count.Part of awakening awareness in the mind is conscious counting.Not counting to sleep.But counting to notice.Each breath.Each pause.Each moment.In this practice we work with the single digit 9.In numerology, 9 represents both endings and beginnings.A closing and an opening happening at the same time.Just like the moon.The moon phases are not here to control us.Maybe they are just soft reminders to check in.A quiet awareness clock in the sky.Because while we are busy creating the outer world,the inner world is still waiting for our attention too.That is the moon.PS. Following the moon does not make you more special than others.Maybe it simply reminds us that we are all special.xxN This is a public episode.

A Taurus New Moon reflection on peeling back the layers and returning to what is real.Before this week’s MoonNidra, I made a simple 1 minute warm up to help the body land a little softer before rest.1 minute videoSkrolla ner för svenskaWriting from abroad always feels like I should be sharing sunny stories.Well… it is sunny.I like the sun here.I am down on the coast of Málaga and the charm of Málaga is that you could be, as I was, sitting at a restaurant with a mob, a billionaire, a golf wife, a hardworking sex worker, and a fluent Spanish speaking Brit real estate agent selling dreams to both the have and the have not.Everyone chasing the same hot fantasy under the same blazing sun.Málaga only has billionaires. The millionaires are in Mallorca. Just joking. Aspire to be at least…I love it here though. The pawn is pawning people.The strange theatre of desire. Luxury. Reinvention. Escape. Performance.Everyone selling something. Everyone becoming something.Meanwhile I have been fully booked with work back in Ronneby, lining up upcoming events, sessions, and private clients while my brain hosts a full blown game show with my emotions. My lease is up soon and I am combing through what my future could look like by the end of the year.Which brings me to this week’s New Moon.The New Moon arrives in Taurus and unlike the usual “new moon, new you” performance, this one feels slower. Deeper. More honest.Taurus does not rush.It asks us to come back to what is real. The body. The breath. The meal. The home. The values underneath the noise.Taurus has always felt like creative wealth to me. Not just money, but richness. Beauty. Sensuality. Stability. In Ayurvedic and Vedic symbolism it reminds me of Nandi, the sacred bull, grounded enough to hold immense force without needing to prove it.And somehow this year’s Fire Horse energy feels like the accelerator quietly kicking in underneath it all.One part wants to root deeper. Another part wants movement. Heat. Momentum. Risk.Build carefully. But do not sleep on your own life.If you are new to Eastern astrology, Ayurvedic philosophy, or Vedic symbolism, don’t worry too much about understanding every reference intellectually. Feel the essence first. Sometimes wisdom lands in the body before the brain catches up.Normally the New Moon is about becoming someone new. New habits. New goals. New manifestations. La la la.But maybe this week is not about adding more.Maybe it is about peeling away the crusty layers built through survival.The overthinking. The performance. The rushing. The identities that no longer fit.So the gem within you can resurface.Not a new you. The real you.The one underneath the pressure. The one underneath the proving. The one who already knows.Let’s honour the saying we throw around so easily:it’s all within you.This week’s MoonNidra will move gently through that space.Less manifestation. More remembering.kanske bättre på svenskaAtt skriva från utlandet känns alltid som att man borde komma tillbaka med vackra berättelser och livsinsikter.Och visst… solen finns här.Jag tycker om ljuset i Málaga. Allting känns lite långsammare, lite mer filmiskt. Du kan sitta på en restaurang bredvid människor från helt olika världar och ändå känns det som att alla jagar samma sak. Frihet. Status. Vila. Närhet. Ett annat liv.Málaga verkar bara ha miljardärer. Miljonärerna håller till i Mallorca. Skojar bara… typ.Det finns något fascinerande i det hela ändå.Alla säljer någonting. Alla försöker bli någon. Alla vill känna att livet fortfarande glittrar lite.Samtidigt har jag varit helt fullbokad hemma i Ronneby med klienter, sessioner och planering inför hösten medan hjärnan försöker lista ut nästa steg. Mitt kontrakt går snart ut och jag känner att mycket håller på att förändras under ytan.Och kanske är det därför veckans Nymåne känns så viktig.Nymånen i Oxen känns inte som den vanliga “nu börjar ditt nya liv”-energin.Den känns mer jordande. Mer ärlig. Mer kropp.Oxens energi vill sakta ner tillräckligt mycket för att vi faktiskt ska kunna känna vad som är sant.Kroppen. Andningen. Hemmet. Det som verkligen betyder något när allt brus försvinner.För mig handlar Oxen om kreativ rikedom. Inte bara pengar, utan skönhet, sensualitet, trygghet och förmågan att njuta av livet fullt ut. Inom vedisk och ayurvedisk symbolik tän
Moon phase: Last QuarterMoon edits: Releasing, Re editing, SimplifyingA practice for quieting the internal noise.For overthinking.For emotional overwhelm.For decision fatigue.For the version of you that has been holding too much for too long.Recorded during the current waning moon phase following the Last Quarter Moon on May 9, this MoonNidra is inspired by the quieter wisdom of slowing down, reflecting, and simplifying the noise around us.This is a softer phase of the lunar cycle.Less accumulation.More listening.A practice where clarity is not forced, but gently revealed through rest.This is not about finding immediate answers.It is about becoming still enough to hear yourself again.Headphones recommended.Lie down if you can.No experience with Yoga Nidra needed.xxNikkiPs. Ready for spring through your gut? A simple guide for the moments when the body feels tired, heavy, foggy, or out of rhythm.Small shifts. Warm meals. Softer mornings.

Tonight’s full moon pulls old fear to the surface.Not the obvious fear.The quiet fear that rises when things begin to work.The fear of success.The fear of not knowing how long it will last.In Jin Shin Jyutsu the index finger is connected to fear.When you hold it you are asking the fear to speak rather than control you.You are asking it to show you where it began.You are letting it guide you inward instead of shutting your system down.This three minute ritual is simple.Hold the index finger.Breathe slowly.Let your fear soften enough to be understood.Let the full moon illuminate what you are ready to releaseand what you are ready to grow into.
