Welcome.
Allow yourself.
To find where you will rest.
On the floor.
Or a yoga mat.
Or even You are bad.
Perhaps with a blanket over you.
Allow the earth space underneath you.
To take your whole weight.
You don't have to do anything here.
You don't have to try.
You don't have to get this right.
Every August,
The sun moves through Leo.
Sirius,
The brightest star we can see,
Rises again in the same stretch of sky.
People have marked this for thousands of years.
They call it a doorway.
You don't need to believe a word of that for this to work.
But it's a good time to notice something.
That everything you are waiting for permission on.
You already know the answer to.
So let's set the outside down.
The list.
The unanswered messages.
The version of you that has to be capable for everyone else.
Let that one rest.
Let your jaw come unclenched.
Let your tongue go soft in your mouth.
Let your shoulders slide away from your ears.
Let the breath come in on its own.
Don't reach for it.
Just let it arrive.
And let it go.
Thank you for joining me,
Julia King.
With Rest and Reset Studio.
Right now there is nothing to fix.
Nothing to become.
You're already the one you've been waiting for.
We'll set a resolve.
A few words you'll carry down with you.
And bring back up at the end.
Feel into yourself.
Trusting yourself.
And either come up with a phrase that lets you know that you fully trust yourself or borrow this one.
I trust myself and my knowing.
Two more times.
I trust myself.
And my knowing.
I trust myself.
And my knowing.
Or let your own words weave in.
Feel where you are in space.
Your body.
Getting.
Heavier towards the ground.
And yet also more present.
And imagine your whole left side of your body.
Fill up the entire world.
Left side.
Now bring to awareness your throat.
Your throat like a tube of light.
Open.
Free.
The taste in your mouth.
And notice.
The skin on her face.
Feel.
The inside of your mouth again.
Back to your throat.
Your nostrils,
Breathing air.
The hearing.
In your ears.
Where your left ear.
Meets your right ear.
Notice your left thumb and fingers.
Left.
Calm.
Entire.
Full left arm.
The tube.
Of light.
Notice your throat again.
And feel the left side of your torso.
Left ribs.
Left side of pelvis.
Upper left leg.
Lower leg.
Notice your ankle on the left side.
Feel.
Your heel.
Connected to the earth.
Notice the sole of her foot.
And your toes.
Top of foot.
Entire left leg and foot.
Feel the entire left side of your body.
Notice now.
The back of your neck.
In your right thumb area.
Right fingers.
Palm.
Whole right hand.
Feel the tube of your right arm.
Notice the tube.
Of your right arm,
Like light filled.
Notice both arms falling.
Heavy.
And palms and fingers.
Vibrant.
Notice the right side of your torso.
Right.
Rebs.
Right side of pelvis.
Whole entire pelvis.
Open.
And free.
Notice you're right.
Upper leg.
Bye Feel your right lower leg.
Ankle.
Heal,
Connecting.
With Earth.
All five toes.
Soul of your right foot.
Feel top.
Of your foot.
Both feet.
Feel your entire right leg and foot.
Both legs.
Heavy.
Grounded.
Whole body.
Falling deeper.
Back of your head.
Heavier.
And forehead and skin on your face.
Calm.
Whole.
Body.
Bring your awareness.
Too.
Your breath.
Allow your breath to come.
As it comes.
Notice how your belly rises.
And falls.
With each breath now.
Count down from the number.
11.
The number count on the exhale.
For example.
Inhale.
Exhale,
11.
Inhale.
Exhale,
10.
Continue down.
To one.
If you lose count and your mind wanders.
Easily just.
Begin.
Again.
On your inhale now.
Imagine the feeling of rising.
Lifting.
Swirling.
Buoyant.
Breathe.
On your exhale,
Imagine the feeling.
Of dropping.
Settling.
Way dead.
Downward.
Now back to the feeling of rising on your inhales.
That swelling buoyancy.
And on your own exhales.
The feeling of sinking.
Dropping.
Down.
Go back and forth at your very own pace.
Now feel the feeling.
Of filling up.
Fall.
Round.
Spacious.
Brimming.
On your inhale.
And on your exhales.
The feeling.
Of hollow.
Quiet.
Empty.
Stillness.
Back to your inhales.
Of fullness.
Grooming over.
And your own exhale.
Pace to find the hollow.
Empty.
Space.
On your inhales and your exhales,
Go back and forth.
From fall.
To empty.
At your own pace.
In your body,
Create a feeling.
Of contraction.
Small.
Curled.
Bold did.
Duct.
Narrow.
And on your.
Next.
Feel the feeling.
Of wide.
Open.
Unfolding.
Spreading.
Boundless.
And back to the feeling.
Of curled and braced.
And two,
Then the feeling.
Of open and spreading.
And boundless.
And go back and forth.
From small and braced.
To open and boundless.
At your own pace.
Feel the feeling of denseness.
Sunken.
Rooded.
Earth bound.
And the feeling of weightless.
Floating.
Rising.
Made of air.
And go back.
Too dense and thick.
Rooted.
Earth bound.
And to the feeling.
Of weightlessness.
Floating.
Rising.
Go back and forth from dance.
Too weightless.
At your own pace.
Now try feeling both.
At the same time.
Now,
Visualize.
The images.
That you will now hear.
No need to think,
Whether you can or you can't.
They either come or they go.
Or they do not.
A candle,
Lame.
Steady in still air.
An open hand.
Palm up.
A key.
Wheat moving in wind.
A stone worn smooth.
A single star,
Low on the horizon.
A door standing open.
Warm light under a closed island.
Your own name.
In your own handwriting.
Sunlight on the back of your neck.
You're standing in a field.
It is dust.
Alpine glow shines on the grass.
Where you are standing.
The grasp is waist-high.
Warm wind is moving through it and gently grazing your skin.
Here now.
At the last light of the day.
Everywhere you look.
Infinite.
Grass.
And beauty.
And you feel.
Peaceful.
And strong.
You feel your feet firmly on the ground.
You feel.
Empowered.
While everywhere you look.
Seems to go on endlessly.
There's no path.
Nobody else.
Here.
No one waiting on you.
Ahead of you,
A stone arch rests on the field.
There you are,
Standing alone in the grass.
This doorway has no walls on either side.
Just you.
And the archway.
And the field showing right through it.
Nothing is keeping you out.
You could walk around it.
You don't have to go through.
There's light on the grass in front of you.
Notice it isn't coming from the archway.
It's shining from your own chest.
Golden.
Steady.
And warm.
The same heat.
You find at your heart.
You also feel in your navel.
You feel inclined to walk toward it.
Not because you were told to.
Because you decided to.
Feel that difference in your feet.
The air is cool as you walk toward the archway.
And then it warms up around you.
There's a little step down.
And you slow down.
As you are now,
Once again.
In,
Level,
Ground.
Someone is already standing there.
Study.
This person has been there.
A while.
As they turn.
You realize.
It's you.
This person,
You.
Gives you nothing.
No gift.
No message.
No instruction.
Looks at you and nods.
The way someone nods when they already knew you'd come.
You feel grounded.
Warmth in your whole body.
You feel as though your whole being has been flicked on.
You are the one.
That chooses where to go.
You have the gift to give your own self.
Their gift of choice.
The gift of empowerment.
You were never lost.
It was you all along.
And then a breath of silence.
And you remember your statement.
Your Sankalpa.
Repeating the one you borrowed.
Or your own.
I trust myself and my knowing.
I trust myself and my knowing.
I trust myself.
And my knowing.
Now you know in your heart when it's time to be complete.
You can choose to stay here.
OR You can choose.
To move on.
If you have chosen.
To move on.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Circle your ankles and your wrists.
Take some big belly breaths.
And continue to make.
Continue to make movements.
I have.
Many more yoga nidras of varying lengths If this session supported you,
You're welcome to return to it anytime.
Many people find that repeat listens deepen the effect and help the nervous system settle.
More easily over time.
And if you'd like to support my work,
Donations are always appreciated.
They help me continue creating these sessions for you.
Thank you for joining me,
Julia King.
