Yoga Nidra For Deep Healing

Deep healing is the shift of our inner paradigm. Discover new ways to experience the soma - body sensations and their interconnectedness. This practice explores textures, different scales of sensory input, and meets the universal consciousness always available. Ground your body with blankets. This supports a deeper connection to all life; feelings of support and trust in life events; an easier ability to move through shifting experiences and sensations; and the discovery of a beautiful life vision.

Transcript

Welcome to this yoga nidra recording.

Please take a moment to settle yourself into a lying down position on your back,

Perhaps with a cushion under your knees to ease any discomfort in the low back and a small blanket or pillow underneath the head to support your neck as you lay down.

Wriggle around,

Make sure that the hips feel loose and relaxed and that the shoulders are rolled underneath the body,

Turning the palms up and placing the arms about four inches away from the body.

Lengthen the back of the neck,

Letting the crown reach long and let the legs flop out at hip distance,

Feeling the thighs and the inner groin soften.

Take a moment if you'd like to sigh and let out any part of your day that needs to be released with your breath.

If you'd like you can take another one or two of those as you settle down,

Perhaps readjust and wriggle.

You can put a blanket over the body if that helps you feel a little bit more grounded and calm.

Close your eyelids,

Softening them around your eyes.

Let the forehead be broad and soft and take the edges of your lips out wide and slightly up,

Allowing your tongue to rest down in your mouth behind your teeth.

As you just let the body settle down,

Noticing the feeling of the blanket and the fabrics on your skin,

How they feel and where they touch.

Notice the air gently caressing your skin as it moves,

Bringing your attention to just beneath your nose,

Where that breath is gently moving in and out across the top lip as you breathe.

Perhaps notice the sound of your breath and the sounds in the space around you,

Just one by one acknowledging your surrounds.

Observe if you can hear any of the sounds outside your space,

Just one by one.

Then come back to your body,

Feeling the parts that are touching the earth beneath you and the support of the earth holding you there.

Feel the spaces between your body and your support and feel that invisible support beneath you.

Then think of a time or a place where you felt safe.

It can be real or imaginary,

But conjure up in your mind either the visual but definitely the sense feeling of that safe place inside of you.

Then thinking of your sankalpa,

An intention or personal resolve that you might be working with.

If you have one,

Repeat it in the present tense with deep feeling as though it really exists in your life fully in this present moment.

If you can't think of anything,

Just allow the space.

Making the intention that you're going to practice yoga nidra and that throughout this practice you will remain aware of my voice and if it appears that your attention has wandered,

Your intention will be to come back to my voice and continue with the practice.

If at the end of the practice you wish to fall asleep,

That's when you shall do so,

But until then you will remain aware of the practice.

We now come to the rotation of consciousness where your attention will be taken around body parts named one at a time.

You can either sense feel or visualize the body part as it is named.

Bring your awareness back to your breath.

Observe its natural rhythm of rise and fall as you breathe.

If you can,

Begin to count your breath so that the inhale and exhale are of an even duration.

So if your inhale is for four,

Your exhale is for four.

Or if your inhale is for five,

Your exhale is for five.

If possible,

See if you can extend your breath to six in.

And six out.

Allow some space between the numbers.

If possible,

It would count.

Inhale six,

Five,

Four,

Three,

Two,

Exhaling six,

Inhale six,

Exhale six,

Release the counting of your breath.

I'm going to come to a physical sensation in the body of where you have felt some physical discomfort or pain.

Recreate in your body the sensory feeling of discomfort or pain.

And feel that sensation as though you're experiencing it now.

As you experience it,

Be aware of the emotions that arise and any other sensations that it creates in your experience.

And then release that sensation and come to thinking of a place or experience in your body where you have felt the sensation of pleasure.

And connect into that experience and sense feeling of pleasure,

Allowing it to spread through all of your body as though you're experiencing it in this very present moment.

Allow the wave of pleasure to pulse through your body,

Feeling it through all of your body.

Notice the emotions that arise as you feel that sensory experience.

And then release that sensory experience and return to the feeling of pain or discomfort in the body.

Try to recreate that feeling.

And notice if you could spread that feeling throughout the body.

Observe the emotions and thoughts that may arise with that sensory feeling,

But try to concentrate on the sensory feeling of the discomfort or pain in the body.

And then returning to that feeling of pleasure in your body,

That experience of pleasure and let it morph through the body like a wave of pleasure through every sense feeling in your body.

And then returning to the feeling of pleasure in the body,

Letting it wash over like a wave of sensory experience.

Feeling pleasure throughout the body as a physical sensation.

And notice any thoughts or emotions that arise with pleasure.

And then if possible,

Try to create both the sensory experience of pain and pleasure at the same time,

Experiencing both fully existing in the body as a sense feeling in one moment.

Recite both feelings of pain and pleasure at the same time throughout the body.

Release the sensations.

Draw the awareness to the eyebrow center.

Notice any colors or shapes at this point.

And if possible,

Visualize and use your imagination to imagine that you are standing in a meadow of flowers.

Notice the size of the meadow,

The colors of the flowers,

The abundance of the flowers and plants in the meadow.

What is on the horizon?

How does the sky appear before you?

Begin to walk along a path in the meadow,

Observing the landscape as it changes.

And feel how the earth beneath you,

The textures begin to go gooey and squidgy.

Begins to feel like there is a play-doh type texture beneath the feet.

Allow this texture to move through your body.

The sense body turning into this gooey texture,

Moving flat,

Wide,

Squidgy,

Thick.

Play with this texture of your body changing,

Its quality and form malleable like play-doh.

Notice feel into the body changing its own texture and shape.

Bring your awareness back to the eyebrow center.

And notice a candle burning,

Its flame in the center.

Observe its orange and yellow and blue hues of the flame.

Extinguish the flame and witness the smoke moving and drifting in the air.

Behind the drifting smoke,

Become aware of the webs between objects and all over in space.

Notice the way their lines connect like lights between each point.

The lights move along the web to connect with one another.

Observe the webs connecting through all nature,

All of the landscape in front of you and people and creatures.

These webs linking between,

Lights moving between them,

Like a signal.

A signal to connect along the webs.

See the lights as marbles rolling around on a giant board.

All these different marbles,

Their colors and lights rolling around.

Notice that they are all connected with a quality like magnets being drawn to their partner.

Shapes begin to form,

Galaxies are formed.

And out in the universe,

Witness its infinite and beautiful scale.

Theories of lights in different shapes and form,

Connected through invisible webs.

Communicating and connecting through this vast expanse.

Feel your body like honey,

Oozing back down onto the earth.

As it touches cold stone,

It begins to morph and change shape.

Let the texture ooze and move,

Gooey and squidgy,

Changing form and shape until it recreates your perfect human body.

Feel your form,

Your full human body,

Just as it is.

Lying on the floor.

Repeat your sankalpa or intention with that same feeling as you did at the beginning of the practice.

And then begin to notice those sounds around you,

Becoming aware of the space that you are in.

And when you have heard and reacquainted yourself with your space through the sound,

Deepen your breath and spread that breath through the body to the fingers and toes,

Gently creating small movements.

And start to extend them out to eventually come into a stretch of the body or hugging in,

Maybe giving yourself a lovely warming hug,

Wrapping your arms around yourself.

And when you're ready,

Rolling onto one side.

And in your own time,

Come back up to seated.

And when you're ready,

Opening your eyes,

Perhaps a gentle tap of your fingers around your eye sockets to help you reawaken and connect into your day.

Thank you for joining me and may you have a wonderful day.
