Yoga Nidra For Integration And Harmony

In this short Yoga Nidra practice, you will integrate the energies of the body to enter a state of equanimity and balance, leading to deep rest and healing. Utilizing systematic relaxation and focused awareness, the body, and the mind, can settle and ground into the space of well-being and calm. This practice can be used when you feel out of sorts, off-center, or need something to help you heal, relax, and rest. It could also be used before bed as a way to calm the body and mind before falling asleep.

Transcript

Do your best to make yourself comfortable,

Move as you need to another minute or so to adjust and find your way into relaxation,

Find your way into surrender,

Give yourself over to gravity.

Tune into the sensations of breath as if the whole body is breathing.

It's as though you're being breathed and counting backwards from 10 with each exhalation a level of relaxation,

Surrendering a little bit more and a little bit more as you count backwards from 10 to 1.

Every exhalation an opportunity to move deeper,

Another layer of effortlessness until you find yourself completely at ease,

Completely relaxed.

And now wherever you are in the counting,

Simply let it go.

Bring your awareness to your left heel and your right heel.

Feel them separately and then feel them as one balanced.

You are inhaling and exhaling through the heart.

Perfect equanimity as if the heart itself is breathing equally.

Slowly begin to deepen your breath.

Bring movement to the fingers and toes.

Revisit the physical boundaries of the body.

Take your time being mindful of transition from liminal space to physical space.

Move slowly and intentionally,

Eventually making your way onto one side or another before taking a few breaths there.

As you feel ready and not before,

We'll slowly make our way up to a comfortable seat.

Take your time,

No rush.

Move slower than you normally would move.

Very intentional.

Slowly make your way up to a seat.

Reviews

A very relaxing and balancing body scan. Not yoga nidra in a traditional sense, but I enjoyed it and didn't want it to end.
