If you have been carrying a heavy sense of striving or rushing through your days trying to make things happen.
Consider this your invitation to drop the expectations.
You do not have to earn your rest,
And you do not need to chase your alignment.
It is already right here,
Waiting for you to simply open.
And receive it.
So take a moment.
To make yourself as comfortable as you can.
And as you get comfortable,
I'll take a moment to welcome you,
Beloved soul.
I am Valerie with my Wellness Sage.
And it is an honour to be here with you.
Let your thoughts.
.
.
Anchor into the vibrations being created in this dress.
Allowing your body to recognize.
That it is okay.
To soften.
Prepare your body.
For the sacred rest of Yoga Nidra.
With Trace Awareness.
Lie down in a position of complete comfort.
Adjust your blankets,
Your pillows.
Your clothes until your physical body feels entirely settled.
During this practice,
There is absolutely nothing you need to fix.
Nothing you need to change.
And know where else you need to be.
Take a long,
Deep cleansing breath in.
Filling your lungs completely.
And gently let it go,
Releasing the weight of your day.
Releasing your mind.
Releasing your body.
Feel the surface beneath you rising to meet you.
You are entirely supported.
Bring your awareness to the center of your chest.
Where your inner light resides.
We are told by the world that abundance is a gathering of external things.
But in this sanctuary,
We remember the truth.
True abundance is the unhurried wealth.
Of nature.
And the undivided,
Divine currency.
Of your own attention.
Let your attention flow.
Settle into intention.
Drop into your heart.
And create a Sankalpa.
A heartfelt desire.
Let that form naturally within your heart.
You may say,
I am open to receive with ease.
I trust the infinite current moving in my life.
Or you may choose other words that feel good to your heart.
At this time.
Let those words come forward now.
Repeat the words to yourself.
Three times inwardly.
With Total.
Soft certainty.
That whatever you are stating has already occurred.
And now let your awareness.
Move into the feeling of gratitude.
For receiving your heartfelt desire.
Let yourself.
Feel how it feels for this to be true for you.
As I name each part of your body.
Imagine a drop of warm,
Liquid gold.
Resting there.
You do not need to move.
Simply touch each space with your mind's eye,
With your awareness.
Bring your attention to the space behind your eyes.
Soften.
Soften.
With liquid gold.
The right cheekbone,
The left cheekbone,
The jawline,
Releasing and letting the tongue drop away from the roof of the mouth.
The throat,
The right shoulder,
Right elbow,
Right wrist,
Tip of the right thumb,
Index finger,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
Little finger.
The whole right arm.
Heavy,
And relaxed.
We return to the throat,
The left shoulder,
Left elbow,
Left wrist.
Tip of the left thumb.
Index finger.
Middle finger.
Ring finger.
Little finger.
The whole left arm.
Resting in deep sleep.
The center of the chest.
The upper belly.
The navel.
The lower belly,
The right hip,
Right knee,
Right ankle,
Sole of the right foot,
Big toe.
The left hip,
Left knee,
Left ankle,
Sole of the left foot,
Big toe.
Whole physical world is fading into the background.
Now circle the whole physical body with your awareness.
Liquid gold.
The whole physical body.
The whole physical body.
The whole physical body.
Resting.
Completely whole.
Awaken now the physical sensation of coldness.
Imagine your body is resting in a deep,
Crisp winter forest.
A freezing chill blanketing your skin.
Feel the cold,
Sharp air moving through your lungs.
Experience total shivering coldness throughout your entire body.
Now let that sensation dissolve and awaken the feeling of intense heat.
Imagine you were resting beneath a brilliant,
Radiant summer sun.
A deep,
Heavy warmth soaking into your skin.
Your muscles,
Your bones.
Feel the heat radiating from the center of your chest.
Experience absolute warmth throughout your entire being.
Now let the heat dissolve and awaken the sensation of heaviness your body is becoming as heavy as lead.
You are sinking deep into the surface beneath you.
The head is heavy.
The limbs are heavy.
The torso is heavy.
You are completely.
Thinking.
Into the earth.
Now I'll shift Release.
Awaken the sensation of lightness.
Your body is becoming as light as a feather.
As weightless as smoke.
You are floating,
A fraction of an inch above the surface supporting you Complete weightlessness floating in a current of pure,
Answered prayers.
Now let go of all sensations.
Rest in the quiet space behind your closed eyes,
The dark screen of the mind,
Chidakasha.
As I name each visual,
Let it flash instantly across your inner screen without lingering.
A single brilliant gold star in a midnight sky,
A drop of morning dew resting on a green leaf,
Silver smoke rising from a sacred flame,
A deep ancient forest at twilight.
A pure quartz crystal singing bowl catching the light.
Now let the visuals fade.
And bring your awareness back.
To your inner sanctuary of your heart center.
See it as a vast internal landscape of nature,
An unhurried blooming space of infinite abundance.
The Earth here is rich.
Fertile.
Steady and thriving.
Step into this heart sanctuary.
This is the sacred ground where you plant your seeds Bring your Sankalpa,
Or your heartfelt desire,
Back into your awareness.
Repeat your intention three times into this fertile heart space.
Knowing the earth of your inner sage will anchor it perfectly into reality.
Become aware of the steady,
Generous rhythm of your breath.
Arrives perfectly to support you every single second.
Without you ever having to chase it.
It ebbs and flows.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Feel your breath moving in you now.
We tune our breath to the unhurried wealth of Mother Earth.
Think of a great forest naturally shedding its canopy with absolute grace.
It does not hold on out of fear or lack.
It simply releases,
Entering a sacred resting period.
Knowing that emptiness itself is rich with potential.
With every exhalation make room.
Breathe out the old timelines of lack.
Let them dissolve away.
Like silver smoke.
Visualize a soft wellspring of liquid starlight forming just above the crown of your head.
Watch it gather,
Pooling,
Ready to stream through you like a river of healing grace.
Feel this light travel past your brow.
Sweeping away lingering thoughts.
It streams down your spine,
Circling your lower body,
Releasing all tension into the light.
And as all tension is released to the light,
This beautiful internal river begins to be reflected externally on a magnificent cosmic scale.
A grand,
Boundless river of pure light stretching across the horizon.
You recline backward into this current.
You are completely weightless in this liquid starlight.
You are absolutely held.
You float effortlessly,
Letting the current carry you,
Like a dream,
Into your highest good.
There is no searching,
No striving,
No doing.
The current is carrying everything meant for you,
In pure,
Unhurried motion.
You merge completely into the cosmic flow You are the river,
And you are the flow.
Open yourself to receive any guidance to do with your heartfelt desire.
Let yourself open to revelation Slowly bring your awareness back to the steady rhythm of your breathing.
Feel the weight of your body back on the surface that is supporting you right now.
The boundless architecture of cosmic flow and the loving high frequency resonance.
Will stay with you in your physical reality.
You are naturally worthy,
Steady and whole.
When you are ready,
Gently begin to wiggle your fingers and toes.
Take a deep breath full of gratitude into your heart center.
Open your eyes,
Returning to the room.
The practice of Yoga Nidra.
Is now complete.
