Hello and welcome.
My name is Bailey Barber,
Nurse practitioner turned Reiki master teacher,
Sound healer,
And yoga teacher.
Thank you for being here with me tonight.
This space is for you,
To support you in deep rest,
Full body healing,
And nervous system restoration.
I am wishing you sweet dreams.
And deep rest tonight.
Our practice tonight is here to calm and nourish the vagus nerve.
While guiding the entire nervous system into deep healing relaxation.
Begin by settling into a comfortable position.
Allowing the body to feel fully supported.
As the body begins to soften.
Gently close down your eyes.
Letting the breath slow.
Let the mind become quieter.
Your system begins to shift out of doing.
And into being.
Tonight,
You do not need to hold everything together.
You can let go.
You can rest here.
Start to notice the places where the body meets the surface beneath you.
The back of the head.
The shoulders.
The hips.
The legs.
Let yourself arrive here fully.
Now begin noticing your breath.
Without changing it.
Simply observing.
The inhale.
And the exhale.
And slowly now.
Invite the breath to deepen.
Inhale through the nose breathing all the way down into the belly feeling the ribs and the chest rise and exhale softly through the mouth.
Releasing tension.
With every breath.
Again,
A slow inhale.
Inviting softness into the body.
And a long exhale.
Letting the nervous system unwind.
Continue slowly.
Feel the exhale becoming longer.
Gentler.
More relaxing.
Take this longer exhale.
Helps activate your vagus nerve.
Sending calming signals throughout the body.
Start to let the shoulders melt.
Let the jaw release.
Let the belly soften.
Feel the body becoming heavier.
More relaxed.
More supported.
There's nowhere else you need to be.
Only here.
Breathing.
Resting.
Softening.
Now gently bring your awareness to your heart space.
This is where we place your Sankalpa.
Your intention for this yoga nidra practice tonight.
A quiet truth.
Already living inside of you.
Ask yourself softly,
What would feel most supportive?
For my nervous system tonight.
What am I ready to receive?
Perhaps your intention.
Is ease.
Healing.
Stillness.
Or deep rest.
Allow the words to arise naturally.
And when your sankalpa feels ready.
Repeat it silently three times.
Slowly Gently.
With trust.
As you repeat the words.
Feel them moving through.
Every part of the body.
Like warmth.
Like softness.
Like the nervous system remembering again.
And now I want to share a message from my angelic guide team.
Who calls themselves Andromeda.
I connected with these beautiful beings of light through angelic Reiki and they have a message of light for you now.
Dear ones,
We are here in the light.
Holding the space of light for you to connect with now.
You are always connected to the light.
You are remembering that sacred part within you that has always been there.
We encourage you to let your light start to shine in your life.
Be who you truly are.
Let your full expressions of your gifts and talents flourish.
This is one way in which you can connect back to the light within you.
As you rest here now,
Know that the light is always with you.
It glows like an ember within.
Waiting for you to tend it.
In love and light we leave you.
As these words begin to settle softly into the deep layers of your subconscious,
Allow your awareness.
To become even more open.
As I begin to send you distance Reiki now.
Begin sensing the space around the body.
As this subtle energy surrounds you.
The Reiki flows.
Gently to you now.
Perhaps you notice warmth.
Tingling Soft movements.
Or maybe only stillness.
There is no right way to experience.
Simply allowing yourself to receive.
This healing light is already within you.
Already connected to you.
It moves gently through.
Awareness without effort.
Without force.
And the light flows gently to the top of the head.
Rest your awareness here softly.
Simply noticing.
And now gently.
Awareness flows to the forehead.
Around the eyes.
Across the cheeks.
Into the jaw.
Softening.
Observing.
And the light moves into the throat.
Connect.
The shoulders.
Perhaps sensing the body.
Beginning to release.
Layer by layer.
Follow the light with your awareness.
As it continues drifting down the arms.
The upper arms.
Elbows.
Hands.
Fingertips.
Now the chest.
The heart center.
Notice the gentle rhythm of the breath here.
The body breathing naturally.
Without needing your control.
Breathing on its own.
The belly rising softly.
And gently falling.
A steady rhythm.
A quiet intelligence within the body.
Now awareness moves into the hips.
The legs.
The feet.
And slowly begin sensing.
Your body.
As one whole being.
Of light.
One field.
Of awareness.
One space of sensation.
One flowing energy.
Of light.
As you rest here.
The nervous system.
Begin settling into balance.
Calming itself naturally.
In its own time.
Now gently bring your awareness to your body.
We will move slowly through each part.
Allowing the light and energy you have been invited in to follow your attention.
Simply noticing.
Simply resting.
Bring your attention to your right hand.
Feel each finger.
Om.
Index.
Middle.
Ring.
Little finger.
Sense your palms.
The back of your hand.
Your wrists.
Forearm.
Elbow and the entire upper arm.

The right side of your chest.
Rinse.
And waste.
Feel the energy moving down into your hips.
Your thigh.
Your knee.
Hmm.
Shin.
Ankle.
Seal.
And all the way to the top of your foot.
Sensing each toe individually.
Big toe.

The muscles along your spine.
From tailbone to neck.
Sense your lower back.
Middle back.

As the energy flows through the back of your neck.
The back of your head.
And the crown of your head.
Gently bring your awareness to your forehead.

Sense the whole body as one.
One complete field.
Of awareness.
Imagine now.
You are resting.
On a soft blanket.
Beside the ocean.
High above the shoreline.
On a quiet,
Grassy cliff.
It is night.
The sky is dark.
And endless.
Filled with twinkling stars.
Below you,
Waves roll gently.
Towards the shore.
A steady,
Soothing rhythm.
The cool ocean breeze moves softly around you.
Calm.
Refreshing peaceful.
You can smell the salts in the air.
Feel the softness.
Of the Earth beneath you.
With every breath.
The body begins to soften.
More completely.
The sound of the waves.
Washes through the nervous system.
Slowly calming down.
Notice the stillness.
Beneath the movement.
Of the ocean.
The quiet space holding every sound.
Let the waves rise.
And fall.
Within awareness.
The breath rises.
And falls.
Within awareness.
Nothing to control.
Nothing to change.
Only this gentle unfolding.
Allowing the whole body to soften even more.
The breath,
Natural.
The mind quiet.
No need to follow.
The sounds anymore.
Simply resting.
Effortless.
Gentle.
The breath.
Breathing itself.
The body.
Held by the earth.
And peaceful.
Home.
Nothing to complete.
Nothing missing.
Only rest.
Only stillness.
And from here.
Sleep may come naturally.
Like waves slowly carrying you deeper.
You are safe.
You are hell.
You are.
Sleep
