“That” works to emphasize that you’re supporting the most recent motion you’ve heard. “I second that motion” is a great phrase that really emphasizes which motion you’re talking about. We use the phrase “I second the motion” in a more general sense to talk about a motion we heard previously but not straight before. When we want to use the verb “second” in a sentence in this way, we use “that” when we’re talking about the most recent thing we heard. You’ll try to either justify your decision of “seconding” it, or you’ll elaborate as to why other people should also choose to second it. Usually, when you say, “I second that motion,” you’ll add more to the end of it. It’s then up to the other politicians in the room to “second” the motions that they believe to be right, meaning they’ll support them. It’s most closely related to parliamentary proceedings, where politicians would make moves to improve the government or come up with new ideas. In this context, a “move” is an idea that someone has put forward, usually in the hope of gaining votes and support for it before taking it further and acting on it. “I second that motion” means that we support the move that someone else has made. It’s great that we now know that “I second that motion” is the correct phrase, but it doesn’t help us much until we know what it means. The reason so many people believe it is a term is thanks to a 1967 song by Smokey Robinson and Al Cleveland, which is entitled “I Second That Emotion.” Other than that, there’s no major usage of the phrase, meaning it isn’t something that is commonplace in English. You can’t second an emotion someone else has (meaning you can’t support something that someone else is feeling, even if you’re feeling it yourself). It is not correct to say “I second that emotion” because it doesn’t mean anything. There is another phrase that some people mistake with “I second that motion.” “I second that emotion” is close to the original word, only adding an “E” at the start of the word “motion.” However, it is not correct.

IRest Yoga Nidra meditation supports psychological, physical and spiritual health, healing and awakening. Perhaps the iRest website describes it in the best way: In iRest Yoga Nidra we deliberately enter into and maintain similar states of profound resting, and while there we create a space in which we investigate and enquire into aspects of our life and experience. It can be a very receptive place to be in and often my most creative ideas and solutions come to me at this time. Most of us can recall a time when we are waking up in the morning, yet still in a place where we are simply resting. I feel deeply relaxed, yet awake to the experience. Indeed, many times as I practice iRest Yoga Nidra I find myself right on the edge of falling asleep. In a sense then Yoga Nidra is a play on words, to be awake and asleep. To be a Yogi is someone who is “Awakened” (awake to their True Nature). We will look at the iRest Yoga Nidra protocol in some depth & offer Yoga Nidra resources and practices. The purpose of this article is to attempt to somewhat de-mystify Yoga Nidra and show how this contemporised, ancient practice can be an incredibly practical tool to help us live our life with ease, resiliency, equanimity and authenticity. “ Yoga Nidra” – it has an almost mystical ring to it! But what really is it, and how can it help you? As well as being a Doctor of Psychology, Richard has been practicing, studying and teaching Yoga Nidra since 1970 (46 years), and has brought together and adapted these ancient teachings to create a contemporary approach to Yoga Nidra called iRest. Soon after completing the course at Ashram Yoga I came across the work of Dr Richard Miller. I remember long relaxation sessions where everyone was happy to be “simply” lying down, guided into magical visualisations and into a deeply restful experience. Ashram Yoga, a Satyananda style inspired Yoga school, included Yoga Nidra as part of the program. I first came across Yoga Nidra back in 2003 when learning to teach at the Ashram Yoga School in Parnell, Auckland. One of the practices that is becoming increasingly lauded is Yoga Nidra. by Neal Ghoshal, Sacred MovesĪs the popularity of Yoga continues to expand, more and more people are being drawn into practices beyond Yoga asana (posture), into breath work, into meditation, into the subtler aspects of the tradition.
