Sunset Yoga Nidra (With Ocean Wave Background)

This Yoga Nidra was created to help you wind down at the end of your day and feel more calm. It starts with settling in and then a breathing technique to help relax your nervous system. Then you will be guided through how to come up with your sankalpa, your heart’s intention, for your practice, then led through a rotation of consciousness throughout your body, starting with your mouth. Examples of sankalpas that can be used for this practice: “I release all worries from my day” or “I am worthy of peace and deep, restorative sleep.” After the rotation of consciousness, you will be guided into sensing opposite sensations (surface/deep), then guided through a rotation of images, then pure awareness, and then repeating your sankalpa 3 more times. At the conclusion, you will be guided into gently coming back to the present moment.
