Hello and welcome to your Yoga Nidra practice.

Yoga Nidra is an immensely powerful technique that works with our whole nervous system,

Calming the fight or flight response and activating the rest and digest division of the nervous system.

Every Yoga Nidra offers you a chance to encounter a new experience,

To sense deeper layers of yourself and get to know yourself more closely.

A secure atmosphere that Yoga Nidra provides can serve as a window into yourself to get in touch with what you need in this moment,

To release long-held negative emotions and witness your thoughts without judging or trying to block them out.

Now,

If you haven't already,

Make all of the adjustments until you find your most comfortable position.

As you lie down,

Feeling supported by the Earth beneath you,

Cozy and safe in your Yoga Nidra nest,

There's nothing else to do,

Just follow my voice.

If any thoughts pop up,

Just notice them from a perspective of the observer and let them float by,

You don't need to give them your attention,

To drop from thinking into your body,

Into your home and as your awareness slowly settles in your body,

Letting go of what was,

What lies ahead of you,

The things that passed,

That happened as well as everything still ahead of you,

Just letting go.

Dropping into this moment,

Taking a deep breath in,

Inhale through the nose and slowly exhale through your mouth.

Two more times,

Inhale through the nose.

Last time,

Deep inhale through the nose.

As you welcome your sankalpa for this practice,

I am fully at ease with myself,

Anchoring and solidifying the ease within you,

Desire to deeply rest.

It's time to move the awareness,

This will help to release and reduce any tension in your body.

Sensing the right side of your body,

Moving all of your awareness into your right hand,

Feeling the right thumb,

Index finger,

The toes of your left foot,

The space between the lips,

Your hands,

Sensing your whole torso melting into the surface,

And your face sinking into the surface beneath you,

And your whole body at such ease,

Bathing in sweet,

Warm,

Relaxing as you rest,

And in pure,

Loving energy,

Seeing yourself,

The compassion for yourself,

And go ahead,

Give yourself a big,

Warm,

Tight hug,

The love of yourself for yourself,

Noticing your breath,

Your natural flow,

Rise and fall of the chest,

I am fully at ease,

Is soft and slow,

Peacefulness is washing over me,

I accept myself 100%,

My flaws,

Shortcomings are apart,

My body regenerates itself,

In this deeply relaxed state,

I am filled with gratitude for the gift of good health,

I relax completely and fall asleep swiftly,

Flaws,

Shortcomings are above myself and others,

In this deeply relaxed state,

I am filled with gratitude for the gift of good health,

Is soft and slow,

Peacefulness is washing over me,

My body and mind are at peace,

Breathe in your own tempo,

This will help to release and reduce any tension in your body,

Sensing the right side of your body,

Moving all of your awareness into your right hand,

Sense the right thumb,

Index finger,

The fingers of your right hand,

The left hand and all of the spaces between the fingers,

Sense your right palm,

All of the toes of your left foot,

Sense the bridge of your nose,

The space between the lips,

Sensing your whole torso sink into the surface,

And your face sinking into the surface beneath you,

And your whole body as you rest,

In pure loving energy,

Seeing yourself standing in front of you,

And then go ahead,

Give yourself a big heart,

Filling itself up with the love of yourself,

For yourself,

I accept myself 100% In this deeply relaxed state,

I am filled with gratitude for the gift of good health,

Completely and fall asleep swiftly,

I accept myself 100% In this deeply relaxed state,

I am filled with gratitude for the gift of good health,

Peacefulness is washing over me,

A beautiful,

Relaxing time,

Thank you so much for being here
