Hello and welcome to the practice of Yoga Nidra.
I'm Kumari and I'm so happy you decided to meditate with me today.
Take some time now to really settle in.
Think of your comfort as the most important first step to relaxing into a deep state of rest.
Perhaps a pillow under your knees,
A blanket to keep you cozy,
An eye cover.
You can do this practice lying down on your bed or couch or even the floor.
But you can also practice sitting up if that's more comfortable for your body.
I'll give you a moment now to create your Yoga Nidra-ness.
Please know that it's okay to shift positions during the practice.
Do your best to return to stillness in my guidance as soon as you can though.
Yoga Nidra is derived from the tantras,
Ancient scriptures from first century Hindu and Buddhist cultures.
It is a powerful technique in which you relax consciously.
It is a systematic method of inducing complete mental,
Physical and emotional relaxation.
During the practice,
The body sleeps but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness.
For this reason,
The practice is often referred to as psychic sleep or deep relaxation with inner awareness.
It's not sleeping and it's not concentration.
It's an opening of the inner chambers of the mind where we step down into the eternal dimensions of consciousness.
So with that being said,
Let's start the journey.
Come to the awareness of your body.
Sweep your attention up and down the body several times.
Become aware of the sensation of the surface beneath you.
Become aware of all the places that your body makes contact with that surface.
Sense your clothing or the coverings you have upon you.
Sense the air on your skin.
Feel your body as heavy,
Dense and very still.
Only your breath moving in and out.
Gently moving your body with each inhale and exhale.
Now begin to hum on each exhale like this.
No effort,
Just a soft humming with each exhale.
Allow this vibration to draw you inward.
Deep full breaths in and releasing into a soft hum.
And now after your next exhale,
Back to your natural breath.
Coming back to your natural breath.
Sensing and feeling into the relaxation of your whole body,
Your entire mind.
And from this place,
Let a sankalpa come into your mind.
A sankalpa is an intention.
