Hello and welcome.
My name is Bailey and I am a nurse practitioner turned Reiki master teacher,
Sound healer,
And yoga teacher,
And I am so happy you are here with me today.
I support people who are navigating stress,
Anxiety,
Or overwhelm,
Or who are perhaps on a physical healing journey,
By sharing the powerful tools that helped me on my own path to healing.
In our session today,
I am going to be guiding you through a yoga nidra practice with full body distance Reiki to help you drift off into peaceful sleep.
You will also be listening to my delta frequency sound healing music to help your brainwaves begin to gently slow down,
Getting ready for deep rest associated with the delta state.
So please begin by getting your sleeping area ready and finding a comfortable position in your bed with your pillow and blanket perfectly placed to support you,
And just taking a few extra moments to get yourself even slightly more comfortable,
So you can really let go and release.
This time is just for you,
A time to slow down,
To soften,
And gently release the day.
So let your body be supported by the surface beneath you,
Allow your feet to fall naturally to the sides,
Your arms resting gently,
Whatever position feels most at ease for you is perfect.
And gently close down your eyes if you haven't already and give yourself permission to fully let go.
Now,
As I begin sending distance Reiki to you now,
Begin to notice the natural rhythm of your breath,
No need to change anything,
Just noticing,
Feeling the inhale and exhale,
Letting the breath guide you into stillness.
Now gently bring your awareness to your sankalpa,
Your heartfelt intention for this Yoga Nidra practice this evening.
This is a short positive statement in the present tense,
Something you wish to embody or call into being.
It could be something like I sleep peacefully or perhaps I allow myself to rest.
Let your sankalpa arise naturally,
Without forcing,
And silently repeat it three times,
Visualizing it going into your heart space and rippling out through your energy body.
Now we begin a journey through the body,
Bringing awareness to each part,
Inviting deep rest and relaxation.
Feel into your right hand thumb,
Second finger,
Fourth finger,
Little finger,
Back of the hand,
Right side of the chest,
Waist,
Right hip,
Shin,
Sole of the foot,
Right big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
Bring awareness to the left hand thumb,
Second finger,
Fourth finger,
Little finger,
Wrist,
Left side of the chest,
Waist,
Left hip,
Sole of the foot,
Right big toe,
Second toe,
Fourth toe,
Now become aware of the back of the body,
Shoulder blades,
Sacrum,
Heels,
Now the front of the body,
Eyebrows,
The space between the eyebrows,
Cheeks,
Tongue resting softly,
Chest,
Feel the whole body now,
Supported,
Completely at ease,
And gently bring your attention to your air as it enters through the nostrils and the warm air as it leaves the body,
Notice the rise and fall of your belly with each breath,
Let the breath be soft,
Natural,
Just riding the wave on each exhale and with each exhale releasing further,
Now imagine a place where you feel completely at peace,
It might be a real place that lives in your imagination,
Maybe a forest at twilight,
Or a cozy room,
Feel yourself arriving in this place,
Feel the temperature,
The scents in the air,
The textures beneath you,
Let yourself be here,
Let yourself rest here,
Completely safe,
Completely supported,
Allow your nervous system to settle even more as you soak in this feeling,
You are exactly where you are,
This time is for you,
This time is for rest,
This time is for sleep,
This time is for sleep,
