Transcript

Welcome to this Yoga Nidra practice.

My name is Claire and I'm truly blessed and grateful to guide you through this Yoga Nidra for deep rest.

When you are ready please lie down and come into a very restful,

Relaxing position.

Make any adjustments you need to create space for deep relaxation.

Take extra time to grab props to support yourself.

Close your eyes welcoming a blanket of darkness as you turn your gaze inward.

Experience the remembrance of your body's intuitive need and necessity for rest.

Welcoming in rest was slowly softening and deepening your breath.

Experience the rise and fall of your breath,

Surrendering to the intelligence of your breath.

Feel your body held,

Supported,

Cosy as you relax,

Rest and breathe.

Nothing you need to do,

Nowhere you need to be,

Just allowing yourself well-deserved time for rest and rejuvenation.

Feel the support of the earth underneath you.

Let your nervous system be cradled and nourished by the practice of Yoga Nidra and the state of deep rest.

With this support is there anything you can let go of that you are holding on to now?

Relax your muscles and bones.

You may even imagine your mind is a muscle you can relax,

Resting and completely letting go.

Bring your attention to your senses.

Notice any lingering tastes in your mouth,

The sounds around you,

Sounds far from you,

Sounds closer to you,

Smells around you,

Imagines or flickering colors behind your eyelids,

The touch of the air on your skin.

Allow your senses to be open and alive.

Now begin to allow all the outward awareness to shift inwards,

Consciously inhabiting all of your body's inner landscape from crown to feet and all the spaces in between.

Begin peeling back layer by layer as your body,

Mind and spirit is nourished by rest.

Layer by layer unfolding your heart space and your Sankalpa or intention.

Your Sankalpa or heart's desire spoken in the positive as if it's already happening.

You may be working with a Sankalpa or choose to repeat,

Wishing you so much love,

Light and blessings.

Namaste.
