Welcome friend.
Before we begin,
I invite you to find a quiet comfortable place where you can fully surrender into rest.
Yoganidra is a guided meditation that invites you to soften,
To release and to step into the sanctuary of your own being.
This practice is an offering,
A space where you are free to let go,
To be held and to return home to yourself.
There is nothing for you to do,
Nowhere for you to go.
Simply allow my voice to guide you into a state of effortless being where healing,
Renewal and clarity will naturally arise.
Throughout this journey,
We will move through the layers of your awareness,
Your body,
Breath,
Emotions and deeper self until you arrive at a place of stillness,
A place where you remember your own wholeness.
I will offer affirmations along the way,
Gentle reminders of the truth that already lives within you.
And so,
With a deep breath in,
Let us begin.
Gently close your eyes and take a deep nourishing breath in through your nose.
Feel the breath filling you,
Expanding within you,
And as you exhale,
Allow any tension to dissolve.
Once more,
Inhale deeply,
As if breathing in light,
And exhale as if melting into the embrace of the earth beneath you.
Feel the weight of your body resting on the surface beneath you.
Allow yourself to surrender fully to this moment,
Trusting in the rhythm of life,
Trusting that you are held.
Now gently bring your awareness to your body.
Notice the point of contact between your body and the earth.
Feel the grounding beneath you.
We will now begin a gentle rotation of awareness.
Simply listen and follow my voice,
Letting your attention rest briefly on each part of your body.
Bring your awareness to the tips of your toes,
The soles of your feet,
The tops of your feet,
Your ankles,
Your lower legs,
Knees.
Thighs and hips.
Feel the breath flowing into your belly,
Expanding and softening with each inhale and exhale.
Bring awareness to your lower back,
Upper back,
Shoulders,
Arms,
Wrists,
Hands.
And fingertips.
Bring awareness now to your neck,
Jaw,
Cheeks,
Your eyes.
The space between your brows.
The crown of your head.
Your entire body is resting in stillness,
Bathed in the light of your awareness.
Take a deep breath and gently bring your focus to the natural rhythm of your breath.
Observe the effortless rising and falling like waves rolling upon the shore.
There is nothing to force,
Nothing to change.
Simply witness the breath as it moves through you.
Now,
I invite you to become aware of any emotions that are present.
Without judgement,
Just simply notice.
Whatever you feel is welcome.
If there is tension,
Let it soften.
If there is heaviness,
Allow it to be cradled by your breath.
You do not need to fix or solve anything.
Simply witness with love and compassion for yourself.
Imagine these emotions as clouds drifting across the vast sky of your awareness.
They come,
They go.
You remain steady and whole.
Now,
Gently release even the awareness of emotions,
Allowing yourself to drop even deeper.
You are floating in a vast infinite space,
A space of stillness,
A space of peace.
Feel yourself dissolving into this space,
Weightless and free.
In this place now,
You are limitless,
You are radiant,
You are whole.
Now,
I will offer affirmations.
Allow them to settle into you like seeds planted in fertile soil.
You may repeat them silently or simply receive them in your heart.
I am safe.
I am held.
I am supported by life.
I surrender into ease and trust the flow of life.
I am enough,
Exactly as I am.
My breath is my sanctuary.
I welcome peace into my being.
I am whole,
Radiant and deeply loved.
I will now repeat these affirmations for you one more time.
I am safe.
I am held.
I am held.
I am supported by life.
I surrender into ease and trust the flow of life.
I am enough,
Exactly as I am.
My breath is my sanctuary.
I welcome peace into my being.
I am whole,
Radiant and deeply loved.
Feel these words now echoing within you,
Weaving into the very fabric of your being.
Now,
Slowly bring your awareness back to the rhythm of your breath.
Feel the gentle rise and fall once more.
Begin to sense the weight of your body,
The support beneath you.
Feel your fingers,
Your toes.
And when you are ready,
Maybe invite a small movement,
Perhaps wiggling your fingers or toes.
Gently awaken.
And when you feel ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Returning to this moment.
Carrying with you the stillness and the peace you have rediscovered within you.
Know that you can return to this place of deep rest at any time.
It is always here,
Always within you.
Thank you so much for journeying inward and allowing my voice to travel with you.
May you move through your day with grace and ease.
Namaste.
