Welcome, I'm Sarah. This morning yoga nidra practice is an opportunity to start your day with a calm mind. Arrested body. And a positive intention. Think of this short practice as a little spring cleaning. Clearing out the cobwebs and residue from the day before. So you can begin fresh with a deep sense of peace within. Take a moment to arrive. And settle into your yoga nidra nest. In a place where you won't be disturbed. Make sure you're completely comfortable. Warm. And supported. Allow yourself to fully arrive. Let go of the day gone by. Let go of what's to come. Take a big inhale through the nose. Exhale through the mouth, Let it go. Allowing yourself to become 5% more comfortable. Whole body at ease and relaxed. No tension in the face or neck. Softening the shoulders. Belly and hips releasing into the ground. Legs becoming heavy No effort. Bring your awareness to your heart. Sensing the energy that resides here. Setting a simple positive intention for your practice. Such as I meet this day with an open heart and curiosity. I meet this day with an open heart and curiosity. Repeat it three times in your mind. Let the intention rest within you. Bring your awareness to the middle of your forehead. Notice the sensations present. The right eyebrow. Left eyebrow. Right eye left eye. Muscles behind the right eye. Muscles behind the left eye. Both eyes together. Awareness to the tip of the nose. Right nostril. Left nostril tip of the tongue. Back of the throat. Good night. Tops of the shoulders. Upper arms. Elbows. Forearms. Rest. Palms. Fingers. Fingertips. Awareness to the center of the chest. Ribs. Waste. Belly button. The pelvis and pelvic bowl. Both hips. Thighs. The front and the backs of the knees. Shend. Caps. Ankles. Tops of the feet. Ah, Tan toes. Bottoms of the feet. Both legs. Torso. Both arms. Faith. The entire body shimmering with aliveness. Whole body at ease. Whole body resting. Notice your natural breath. Feeling the ebb and flow of prana. Of breath in and around you. Belly rising and falling. Like waves rolling in Waves rolling out. Allow the breath to move beyond the lungs. As though the whole body is breathing. The whole body ebbing and flowing with each breath. Feel the edges of the body gently widening with the inhale. Softly settling. With each exhale. Whole body breathing in. Whole body breathing out. Whole body alive. Let that go bring your attention back to your heart. Feel the beat of your heart and your breath moving together as one. Calling your intention back into your awareness and reciting it three times. I meet this day with an open heart and curiosity. Letting this intention be planted in your heart like a seed. Feel the weight of the body on the ground. Notice the shape of your body. The beautiful curved edges of your body. Open your awareness to the sounds around you. Right ear listening. Left ear listening. Feel the temperature of the air on your skin. Feel the air around your fingers and toes. Take a big inhale through the nose. Exhale, Let it go. Leveling in the echo of deep peace. And ease you've gifted yourself. Rest here for as long as you need. Or begin gently moving your fingers and toes. Ankles and wrists. Head side to side. Take your time to welcome your body back to the present moment. There is no rush. Reading the rest of your day with this sense of ease and calm. Until next time, Friends. Namaste.
