Hello and welcome.
My name is Bailey and I am a nurse practitioner turned Reiki master teacher and sound healer and I create distance Reiki healing sessions for people who are struggling with anxiety,
Overwhelm,
And stress.
In today's session,
I'm going to be doing a guided yoga nidra practice specifically designed to help release anxiety or stress.
So if you are looking to just have a relaxation time during your day or you'd like to use this to help you fall asleep at night,
You can use it for both.
It's perfect for either one.
So I encourage you to really get yourself nice and comfortable,
Ideally in your bed,
To receive this session and just take a few moments to really get your environment nice and comfortable,
Relaxing,
Really reducing any distractions.
And once you are all settled in,
I invite you to gently close down your eyes and start to focus on your breath.
And I will gently guide you through this yoga nidra practice today as I'm sending you distance Reiki.
And if you have a particular intention for our session today,
You're welcome to set that now.
And so I just invite you to follow along as I guide you through now.
Focusing on your breath,
Take a deep inhale and a long,
Slow breath out.
Letting go of your day and giving yourself permission to rest.
There is nowhere to be,
Nothing to do.
Simply allow yourself to receive this session.
Feel the gentle rhythm of your breath moving through you.
There is no need to change it.
Just noticing with each exhale,
Allow yourself to settle a little deeper into the surface beneath you.
Become aware of the weight of your body.
The heaviness of your limbs.
The stillness that is beginning to take over.
Each breath guides you into deeper relaxation.
Feel yourself held,
Completely supported and safe to let go.
Now I will guide your awareness through different parts of your body.
Simply notice each area without moving,
Just sensing.
Allowing relaxation to spread effortlessly.
Bring your attention to your right hand,
Thumb,
Index finger,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
Pinky finger,
Palm of the hand,
Back of the hand,
Wrist,
Shoulder,
Right side of the chest,
Left,
Right hip,

All five toes completely relaxed.
Now shift your awareness to your left hand,
Thumb,
Index finger,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
Pinky finger,
Palm of the hand,
Back of the hand,
Wrist,
Forearm,
Forearm,

All five toes completely at ease.
Now feel your whole body completely at rest.
Sinking deeper and deeper into relaxation.
Now bring your awareness to your breath.
Noticing the natural flow of air moving in and out.
No need to control it,
Just observing.
Allowing each inhale to bring in calm and each exhale to release any tension or stress.
You might begin to imagine your breath as a soft wave,
Gently rolling in and out.
Carrying away any anxiety,
Leaving you feeling lighter,
More at ease.
Now imagine yourself lying in a peaceful open meadow.
Under a warm golden sun.
The sky is clear with soft clouds drifting by.
A gentle breeze moves through the grass,
Carrying with it a sense of ease and freedom.
You feel completely safe here.
Completely at peace.
With every breath,
Imagine this golden sunlight filling your body with warmth and tranquility.
Dissolving any lingering stress or tension.
Allow yourself to fully surrender to this feeling of peace.
Surrender to this feeling of peace.
