Hello and welcome to Sheer Live Yoga and Breath. My name is Natalie. This is a quick yoga nidra practice for mom rage to help you pause and ground down. I invite you to take a comfortable position of your choice. Let the weight of your body sink down into the support beneath you as you take a moment to notice your breath. Don't try to change it, Simply notice. We will now move into a breathing exercise. We will breathe in slowly and deeply through the nose. Take another sip of air. And slowly exhale with a sigh through the mouth. Inhale slowly through the nose and take another sip of air and slowly exhale with a sigh through the mouth. Inhale slowly through the nose and take another sip of air and slowly exhale with a sigh through the mouth. Let your breath settle into its own natural rhythm. Allow the following intention to sink into your awareness as you repeat it silently to yourself after me. I am allowed to pause before I respond. I am allowed to pause before I respond. I am allowed to pause before I respond. Let that permission settle, Planting deep roots into your unconscious mind. And now bring awareness to your body. Feel your shoulders drop. Soften the muscles of your neck. Your jaw. And the space between your eyebrows. Let relaxation move through your arms into your fingertips. Feel your chest soften. Your belly loosen. Let your hips sink heavily. Traveling down your legs and anchoring out through your feet. Your entire body is resting. Your entire body is still. Bring your attention back to your chest and belly, Noticing the gentle rise and fall. As your intention returns to you one final time. Repeated silently after me. I am allowed to pause before I respond. I am allowed to pause before I respond. I am allowed to pause before I respond. Feel your body fully supported by the surface beneath you. And when you're ready, Bring some gentle movement to your fingers and toes. Your arms and your legs. And return back to your day with a sense of ease and steadiness. Namaste.
