Welcome.
Today's Yoga Nidra is to help you connect into your intuition.
As you settle into Yoga Nidra,
Do whatever it is that you need to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible.
Lie down,
Arms resting by your sides and palms facing up.
If this is not comfortable for you at any stage,
Laying on your side or sitting up supported will do just fine.
Maybe take some time to make a cosy rest nest with cushions and blankets,
Bolsters or covers,
Whatever your body needs to feel as comfortable as possible in this moment.
Close your eyes or just lower the gaze,
Whatever feels safe for you.
Take in some beautiful deep breaths,
Releasing all tension.
Adjust your body for the utmost comfort that you can achieve.
A pillow under your head,
Under your knees,
Just to create a space that is right for you.
Today we are going to embark on an experience that will take you into your body,
Into your system,
Embracing every part of you and connecting into that beautiful wise voice that you have inside of yourself.
Allow your body and mind to ease into the present moment,
Knowing that you are enough.
Feel free to move or open your eyes as needed.
This practice is for you,
This time is just for you.
Breathing in and out the nose.
Bringing your awareness to your physical body,
Deep breaths in and out your nose,
Allowing your body to relax with each exhale.
In,
Out,
Relax.
In,
Out,
Relax.
In,
Out,
Relax.
Today's practice is about connecting to your intuition.
I invite you now to set an intention that feels right for you today and for this practice.
Repeat your intention three times.
You can say it in your head or out loud.
And as you say your intention,
Recognize how your body feels.
Feeling into anywhere in your body that opens to your intention or closes to your intention.
Feel into anywhere in your body that may feel constricted or may open up and allow your breath to go to that place.
In and out the nose.
Feel the breath in that place without judgment,
Just noticing,
Simply witnessing.
Throughout yoga nidra,
I invite you to remain still and relaxed,
Allowing yourself to fully experience each stage.
If at any time you need to adjust your body or move or open your eyes or make a sound,
Please do so.
There is no pushing through.
You are safe and supported.
Your awareness of body and sensation is part of the experience and there is no right or wrong.
As much as possible,
Though,
Please remain still,
Allowing your body and nervous system to sink deeper into a state of relaxation.
Throughout the yoga nidra,
I invite you to follow my voice.
However,
If at any time this does not feel right for you or you do not wish to follow an instruction,
You can stop and return to my voice when ready.
As much as possible,
The invitation is to have the smallest amount of awareness throughout the meditation.
With this being said,
If you fall asleep,
Then sleep is what you need today.
Now,
I invite you to feel the support of the ground beneath you,
Allowing yourself to sink into its embrace.
Notice any areas of tension or discomfort in your body.
With each breath,
Imagine sending soothing waves of relaxation to those areas.
With each breath,
Soothing waves of relaxation.
Let go of any tightness or holding on,
In and out the nose.
With each breath,
Let go of any tightness or holding on.
With the soothing waves of relaxation,
Let go of any tightness or holding on.
Let go of any tightness or holding on.
Breathe,
Breathe deeply,
In and out the nose.
As you continue to breathe deeply and rhythmically,
Come aware of the space around you.
Listen to the sounds in the room,
Feel the air on your skin.
Become fully present in this moment,
Letting go of any thoughts or worries that may be occupying your mind.
Let them in and let them out.
Breathe,
Breathe deeply.
As you continue to breathe deeply and rhythmically,
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest.
With each inhale and exhale,
Feel the breath moving in and out of your body,
Like a gentle tide rounding you in the present moment.
Letting go of control,
Letting go of judgment.
Breathe.
Now we will move through a body rotation and as I name each point,
I invite you to bring your attention to that specific area and breathe into that space.

Peaceful lake.
The surface of the water is calm and still,
Reflecting the golden light of the sun above you,
Shining brightly.
Breathe.
With each breath,
Feel yourself becoming more deeply connected to the energy of this beautiful place,
Allowing its calm and peace to envelop you completely.
And as you gaze out over the lake,
Imagine a small boat approaching from the distance.
This boat is your intuition,
Waiting to carry you deeper into your connection with your awareness,
Insight,
Wisdom and knowing.
Breathe.
Inhale awareness,
Exhale and let go of control.

As the boat begins to glide across the surface of the water,
Allow yourself to surrender to the experience,
Letting go of any need to control or direct where the boat is taking you.
As the boat goes,
Inhale awareness,
Exhale and let go of control.

And as you continue to float on the water,
Notice anything that may appear,
Any words that may appear,
Any sensations that may appear,
No forcing,
No grasping,
Just noticing.
Any wisdom or intuitive guidance that may appear.
And if nothing appears,
Then this is what is right for you today.
You are safe,
There is no judgment.
Inhale awareness,
Exhale and let go of control.
Inhale connection,
Exhale and let go of expectation.
Breathe into trust,
Breathe into your wisdom,
Breathe into your intuition,
And breathe into your knowing.
Allow it to lead you exactly where you need to be.
Breathe,
Breathe into trust.
Trust that your intuition knows the way and will rule your life.
Trust that your intuition knows the way and will reveal to you whatever you need to know.
Take a few moments now to simply be with whatever arises,
Allowing yourself to fully receive whatever comes.
Allowing yourself to fully receive the wisdom and the knowing of your intuition.
Or to simply just be.
In this state of deep space,
Your intention can be heard and it can be integrated at your most authentic level.
If you remember your intention,
Repeat it to yourself in your most heartfelt voice.
Now gently bringing your awareness back to your breath.
Feel the rise and fall of your chest.
Now slowly,
Slowly begin to bring your awareness back to your physical body.
Feeling the support of the ground beneath you.
And again the gentle rise and fall of your chest with each breath.
Wiggle your fingers,
Wiggle your toes and flutter your eyelids.
If you're ready,
You may gently open your eyes and welcome yourself back.
If it feels right for you to stay where you are for as long as you need,
Then this is what you should do.
Welcome yourself back.
If it feels right for you,
I invite you to stretch and yawn and make some noise.
Rock and roll your body and then just lie on one side.
Support your head with your arm.
And just rest on this side that feels most comfortable for you.
Take this moment to reflect on your experience.
Noticing any insights or feelings that may have arisen during your practice.
And trust that you can carry this connection with your intuition,
With you as you move through your days and your nights.
Guiding you with clarity every step of the way.
Our practice is now finished.
