I'm Nicole,
Welcome to this Yoga Nidra for a nervous system reset.
We live in a world where everything is so busy.
We've got lots of notifications.
To-do lists.
Racing thoughts.
And it's so important to take this time of stillness.
To connect with self.
And just rest.
Before we re-enter the world again.
Rest is our birthright.
We can't get by without it.
So thank you for being here.
With Yoga Nidra.
You want to lie down if possible.
Setting up a cozy nest for yourself.
Just like you are going to bed.
So getting all of your props,
Which may be pillows,
Blankets an eye mask or eye covering.
Just anything that will get you as comfortable as possible.
Because comfort is queen.
So just taking that time now to get as comfortable as possible.
Making any small adjustments now.
Now is the time,
Because you don't want to be moving later,
Ideally.
Acknowledging if you do need to move,
That is also okay.
So continuing to make those last little adjustments of comfort.
Having your arms symmetrical,
If that feels comfortable.
Your legs,
Symmetrical.
Relaxing your shoulders down away from your ears.
Relaxing the space between your eyebrows.
Relax in your temples.
And your tongue on the roof.
Of your mouth.
Behind your upper teeth.
Just feeling yourself melt.
Into the surface beneath you.
Melting down.
And leading any worries.
Fade away for the time being.
Taking a breath now.
And through your nose.
Pausing briefly.
Inhaling again.
And then holding at the top.
Then letting go with a long exhale.
Should sound like this.
Breathing in again through your nose.
Pausing.
Breathing in again.
And holding briefly at the top.
As you exhale out of your mouth.
To more of those at your own pace.
Now as you lie here in stoness.
Your body melting towards the ground Just bringing to mind a sandcalper.
A positive little seed or affirmation.
That you can hold at your heart.
A little seed.
That resonates strongly with you.
To cultivate.
Positive beliefs.
Rewiring your thoughts and your brain.
The Senkalpa,
Could be something like.
.
.
I am at deep peace and harmony within myself.
What?
I respond calmly.
And clearly to any situation.
Or it might be something else.
Picking what resonates with you.
Bringing it to your mind.
And repeating it three times to yourself.
As you sit.
With this positive seed that you have planted for yourself just feeling a sense of gratitude.
A sense of gratitude for your rested state.
For cultivating this time for yourself.
And just for your innate.
Inner power.
And resilience.
And as you lie here in stillness,
Inviting you to place all of your awareness on your body.
Noticing,
Or picturing.
A soft white light.
On the very tip of your nose.
Noticing this white light travel in through your nostrils circling around the backs of your eyes.
Smoothing out any muscles there.
And notice it swirling around your mind.
Releasing it of any thoughts.
Noticing this white light.
At the center of your eyebrows.
At the tip of your eyelids.
Your cheekbones.

Sensing your entire body.
And every part of it.
Every note.
Every Granny.
The entire surface of your body.
And the air around it.
Just imagining now.
Arid lights.
Imagining this red light.
Starting at the very tip.
Or base of your spine.
And imagining that red light.
Trailing slowly up the length of your spine.
To the very back of your head.
And as it reaches the back of your head.
Noticing that red light.
Trailing back down.
To the root of your spine.
Imagining.
And sensing this red light.
Trailing up again from the very root of your spine.
All the way up.
To the back of your head.
Imagining that red light trailing back down again.
From the back of your head.
To the very root of your spine.
And as you imagine this red lights.
You notice it.
Dissipates like little particles.
Into the air.
Just starting to notice your breath.
Just imagine yourself breathing in this ear.
With these little red particles.
As you inhale.
With your natural organic breath.
Inhaling in from the ear around you.
Imagining these little red particles like glitter in the air as you inhale from the ocean of air around you.
And then just starting to notice.
Your natural Organic exhale.
Noticing your natural exhale.
As you exhale.
Back into the ocean of air around you.
Inhaling and exhaling.
And as you lie here as the natural organic flow of your breath.
Just imagining yourself.
Sitting by the warm and glow.
Of a cozy,
Fire.
Imagine yourself sitting.
Wrapped up in your comfiest clothes.
Maybe you have a blanket wrapped around you.
You might have a warm drink in your hands.
Imagine sitting.
On a comfy couch.
It's like sitting on a cloud.
It's that comfortable.
And as you sit here,
And presents.
Simply noticing.
The warmth of the fire.
The crackling.
Of the woods burning.
Noticing.
The warm oranges and reds the flames.
And at this moment in time.
You have no worries.
You are simply present.
And at pace.
Your heart is full.
And open.
And you feel a sense.
Of spaciousness.
And safety.
Noticing yourself.
And spacious.
Awareness.
Spacious.
Lying here.
And pure.
Silence.
And pure bliss.
As you recognize.
The part of yourself.
That is listening.
Lying here in pure silence and bliss.
You.
Wow.
As you lie here.
In this blissful state of consciousness bringing to mind your zen kalpa.
That you set at the beginning of this practice.
Bringing it to mind.
To cement it into your subconscious.
And as you set that into your subconscious noticing the sense.
Of sound.
And your ears listening.
Just noticing any other sounds that might be around you.
Noticing the rise and fall.
Love your ballet.
And cheers Noticing your body.
Lying here.
And starting to sense.
The surface.
Beneath you.
The strong.
Study.
Ground beneath you.
And just starting to come back.
To your body.
To the space around you.
Maybe noticing the weights of the blanket on top of you The eye covering on your eyes.
Maybe noticing the temperature of the room.
Maybe starting to bring your index finger to your thumb gently touching them together.
You might want to gently tap your chest.
Maybe stretch your arms over heads.
And gently flutter your eyes open.
You might want to roll to one side.
Taking your time to sit up.
And just taking one more mindful breath.
With a longer inhale in through the nose.
And exhaling out of your mouth.
Welcome to the rest of your day.
Thank you for being here.
Namaste.
