Welcome to this healing yoga nidra practice,
Walking in beauty,
A healing journey.
Allow yourself to lie down in Shavasana.
Allow the earth beneath you to hold you and gently close down your eyes.
Let your breath begin to slow,
Let go of the day,
Let go of everything that led you here.
Breathe into the space behind your eyes,
Feel your body becoming heavy and soft,
Melting into the support beneath you.
You are my sacred earth child and I am your divine earth mother.
With unconditional love I support you and reveal sacred truths.
Take a moment to set a sankalpa,
A heartfelt intention,
Feel it in your chest,
Whisper it inwardly,
Let it be a seed,
You do not need to force anything,
You are guided,
You are loved.
Now we move to our rotation of consciousness as we bring our awareness through the body.
As I name each part,
Feel it from the inside without moving.
Allow your awareness to be like a soft light.
Bringing your mind's eye to the right side of your body.

Now feel the whole body together,

Pulsing,
Alive,
Held by the earth,
Held in beauty.
Now shifting your awareness to your breath,
Feel the inhale,
Feel the exhale,
There's no need to change the breath,
Just notice it.
Rising,

Let the breath flow like a sacred river through your body,
Cleansing,
Nourishing.
In your mind's eye,
Imagine yourself standing in a sacred desert at dawn,
The sun paints the land in golden light,
The earth glows beneath your feet,
The air is clear and alive.
You are surrounded by love,
You are walking the beauty way,
You turn to the east and say,
The children of the earth are beautiful and blessed with wisdom,
They play in divine beauty.
You turn to the south and say,
The mothers of the earth are beautiful and blessed with wisdom,
They dance in divine beauty.
You turn to the west and say,
The parents of the earth are beautiful and blessed with wisdom,
They love in divine beauty.
You turn to the north and say,
The grandparents of the earth are beautiful and blessed with wisdom,
They rest in divine beauty.
Standing in the centre,
You speak these words,
I walk with beauty before me,
I walk with beauty behind me,
I walk with beauty below me,
I walk with beauty above me,
I walk with beauty all around me,
I walk with beauty within me.
Feel the vibration of those words echoing in your heart,
You are in harmony,
You are at home.
Now gently begin to return,
Feel your body resting,
Notice your breath,
Wiggle your fingers,
Your toes.
Roll softly onto one side,
Bring your hands to your heart,
Honour the beauty within you,
When you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
You have completed your healing journey,
You walk in beauty.
