Hello and welcome!
This is Bailey Barber and I'm so grateful you are here with me tonight.
Tonight I will be sending you distance Reiki as I guide you through a deeply relaxing yoga nidra practice.
In the background my sound healing music with soothing delta binaural beats will continue to play for the next 10 hours supporting your body,
Mind,
And spirit as you rest.
Take a moment now to find a comfortable position,
Perhaps lying on your back,
Letting your legs fall naturally and freely.
Maybe with a pillow beneath your knees to ease any pressure on your lower back.
Allow your arms to rest gently at your sides,
Palms facing upward,
Or in any position that feels nurturing to you.
You can let your blanket drape softly over you,
Allowing warmth and comfort to cocoon your body.
Gently close down your eyes once you have found your perfect position to receive,
And begin to feel your body sinking into the support beneath you,
Fully held,
Fully at ease.
Begin to draw your attention inward,
Noticing the gentle rhythm of your breath.
Take a slow,
Deep inhale,
Filling your lungs completely,
Feeling your chest and belly rise softly,
Pausing at the top of your inhale just for a moment,
Savoring the fullness of your breath,
And then gently release it completely,
Exhaling any tension,
Worry,
Or heaviness.
Allow your breath to find its own natural rhythm,
Effortless and smooth,
Flowing in and out like a gentle tide,
Calming every part of your body.
Bring your awareness now to the center of your chest,
To your heart space,
And allow yourself to set a sankalpa,
A short positive intention for this practice.
This is a simple phrase stated in the present tense that reflects your inner truth.
It may come to you as,
I am calm,
I sleep deeply,
I am safe.
Whatever comes up for you is perfect in this moment.
And once you have your sankalpa,
Silently repeat it three times,
Allowing the words to gently echo through your mind,
Settling softly into your heart.
Feel the vibration of this intention moving through your body,
Connecting with every cell,
Creating a sense of quiet,
Ease,
And serenity.
Let it root deeply into your being,
Carrying a sense of comfort and safety as you begin to drift into this restorative practice.
Now imagine a soft luminous light gathering above the crown of your head.
As I begin to send you distance Reiki now,
It is gentle,
Warm,
And filled with loving energy,
Like moonlight spilling through a quiet night sky.
This is the Reiki energy,
Pure and gentle,
Universal life force energy,
Flowing to support and soothe every part of your being.
Allow this light to begin to descend slowly,
Moving through the crown of your head.
Feel the top of your head soften and relax as the energy touches it.
Sense it spreading across your scalp,
Releasing any tension and quieting the mind.
The light moves gently to the space between your eyebrows,
Allowing your forehead to smooth and relax.
Feel the muscles around your eyes soften,
Letting your eyes sink deeper into restful calm.
The Reiki flows down into your cheeks,
Your jaw.
Notice any tightness in your face dissolving.
Allow your tongue to rest comfortably in your mouth.
The soft luminous energy flows through your throat and neck,
Releasing any tension and opening a space for ease of breathing.
Now the light moves into your shoulders.
Feel it melting away any weight you may be carrying.
Sense it slowly flowing down both arms,
To your elbows,
Wrists,
Palms,
And all the way into each fingertip.
Both arms are now bathed in gentle,
Restorative light,
Completely at ease.
And now the Reiki light flows into your chest.
Feel your heart space softly opening,
Resting in the warmth of this light.
It flows into your lungs,
Supporting each breath to become softer.
Notice how your heartbeat begins to settle into a steady,
Comfortable rhythm.
Now the light drifts down into your belly.
Feel the warmth spreading through your abdomen,
Releasing any holding or tension you may have carried.
Sense your lower belly and pelvis receiving this gentle energy,
Helping to soften and relax as it flows,
Until all of your organs are bathed in this Reiki light.
Bringing peace and harmony and balance to every cell in every organ,
And the light moves slowly into your hips and upper legs.
Feel your thighs,
Knees,
Shin,
And ankles gently unwinding.
Notice your feet,
Heels,
And toes,
Flowing with the warmth of this energy,
Until your whole body is bathed in this Reiki light.
Deeply relaxed and supported.
Take a few moments to let this energy circulate through your body,
From the crown of your head to the tips of your toes.
Every cell is cocooned in warmth,
Calm,
And stillness.
Feel the energy settling in,
Integrating with your body and your heart,
The home of your spirit.
You are safe.
You are fully supported.
You are completely held in this space of healing and rest.
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.
There is no rush.
No expectation.
Simply noticing.
Simply resting.
Bring your attention to your right hand.
Feel each finger,
Middle,
Little finger.
Sense your palm,
The back of your hand,
Your wrist,
Forearm,
And the entire upper arm,
Your shoulder,
Collarbone,
And the back of your head.
The right side of your chest.
Feel the energy moving down into your hip,
Your thigh,
And all the way to the top of your foot.
Sensing each toe individually,
Big toe and little toe.
Now bring your awareness to your left hand,
Noticing each finger,
Little finger.
Sense your palm,
The back of your hand,
Wrist,
Forearm,
The whole upper arm,
Left shoulder,
Waist,
And the back of your head.
Move your attention down to your hip,
Big toe,
Second,
Little toe.
Now bring your awareness to your forearm.
Feel the right shoulder blade,
Left shoulder blade,
The muscles along your spine,
From tailbone to neck.
Sense your lower back,
Middle back,
Upper 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.
Temples,
Eyebrows,
Eyelashes,
Bridge of the nose,
Nostrils,
Tip of your nose.
Throat,
Heart center,
Solar plexus,
Navel.
Now let your awareness expand to your entire body at once.
Feel yourself as a whole,
Unified field of energy.
Every cell calming and glowing with light.
Your breath flows naturally.
Your mind is soft and peaceful.
Your heart is steady.
You are fully relaxed and completely supported.
Imagine now that you are lying to a warm stretch of white sand,
The ocean gently lapping nearby.
The night sky above is vast and clear,
Filled with countless twinkling stars.
The air is warm and comfortable,
Carrying the gentle scent of salt water,
And the rhythm of the waves matches the rhythm of your breath.
Feel the earth supporting your body completely,
As it cradles you with comfort and safety.
Each exhale releases any lingering tension.
Each inhale fills you with a deeper sense of peace.
Tiny sparkles of moonlight dance across the waves,
Casting a soft silver glow around you.
Above the stars twinkle like diamonds,
Scattered across the deep navy sky.
The Milky Way stretches like a luminous river overhead.
You feel a soft,
Comforting breeze brushing your skin,
As if the ocean itself whispers to you,
You are safe,
You are held.
Allow your body to melt further into the sand.
Feel the warmth of the earth beneath you and the gentle caress of the night air above you.
Your mind softens,
Your heart opens,
Every cell in your body breathes in the quiet,
Gentle magic of this night.
You are safe.
You are whole.
You are fully supported by the universe and by the light.
Let yourself drift off now,
Held by the sand,
The stars,
And the gentle rhythm of the waves,
Into deep relaxation,
Deep rejuvenation,
Deep restorative sleep.
