Welcome,
Welcome everyone.
If we haven't met yet,
I'm Kumari Skye and I am the relaxationist and deep rest practices.
Is what I'm all about.
As a reminder,
You'll want to get as comfortable as you possibly can.
However that looks for you.
If it's light out,
This could be an especially good time to use an eye covering.
Yoga nidra can be practiced anytime,
Anywhere.
Obviously not while you're driving or anything,
But.
.
.
I just want to remind you what a nourishing practice this is on every level of your being.
Yoga Nidra takes us into the hypnagogic state.
So that's that liminal space between waking and sleeping or dreaming.
So you're not identified with the conscious mind.
The yogic sleep is all about disidentifying from the physical body and the conscious mind.
And dwelling more in your innate space of peace.
And ease and your true nature.
This most readily can be experienced when we don't fall asleep in yoga nidra.
But there's no pressure to make yourself stay awake.
Finding that balance.
And every practice is going to be different.
So just allow this effortless practice to be whatever it's going to be.
All right,
I'm gonna close my eyes now too.
Let's take some deep breaths together in through the nose.
And out through the mouth.
And to your nose.
And out through your mouth.
Keep going.
Really blowing that breath out.
See if you can really hear it.
This breath soothing your mind,
Body,
And spirit.
Making you ready and receptive for deep breaths.
One more just like that.
Thank you.
Expand awareness into feeling your body.
Feeling your body,
However you're resting.
Notice if there's any other little subtle adjustments that you could make right now.
Do you need to support your head and neck a little bit more?
Are you sure your arms and hands are comfortable?
Fine-tuning,
Feathering your nest a little bit more.
Feeling the weight of your legs and your feet.
The tops of the thigh.
The backs of the thigh,
Your shins,
Your calves.
Your heel.
Your hips and buttocks.
Over.
The lower abdomen.
The whole lower half of your body.
The whole lower half of your body surrendering.
All the muscles.
Sah.
Could you imagine breathing that relaxation and softness up through the feet,
Legs,
And then into the rest of your body,
All the way to the head.
You might imagine that softness flowing back down your body as well.
Drawing up from the feet.
Calling that relaxation and ease and peace.
To saturate the rest of your body.
Breathing.
The whole body one with ease.
Stillness.
And the good.
That permeates through every cell of your body.
And it's here we can call in our Sankalpa.
And if you're not currently working with a Sankalpa.
You might simply Use this intention.
I allow myself to rest deeply.
Or feel free to create your own intention.
And now repeat this Sankalpa or intention three times in the quiet of your mind.
Go ahead.
Whole body resting.
Hmm.
.
.
Now we'll move around the body.
And you can allow your awareness.
To rest in each area I mention.
And in this way,
We take the body even deeper.
Deeper into stillness.
Our consciousness,
Our awareness begins to dominate the more subtle layers of our being.
Starting at the very top of the head.
The top of the head.
The right ear.
The left ear.
And third eye center.
Expanding the sun's the whole forehead.
The right thumb ball.
Left temple.
The right eye.
The left eye.
Sensing both islands.
Both eyelids.
And the nostril.
Letting the subtle breath move in and out of the nostril.
The upper lip.
In the lower left.
Sensing the fullness of both of the lips.
Welcome the awareness of the tongue.
10,
000 taste buds tingling.
Now the jaw.
The whole head.
And sing your whole head.
As if you could feel the brain on the inside.
And now draw attention down to the right shoulder.
The left shoulder.
The right elbow.
Left elbow,
Right wrist.
Left wrist.
And the palm of the right hand.
And all of the finger.
The palm and all of the fingers.
Now sensing the left palm.
And all of the finger.
Now,
Feeling both palms and all of the fingers together.
In blank.
Sensing both arms.
Now the base of the throat.
Collarbone.
The chest.
The right armpit.
Left armpit.
Now the upper back.
Sensing the upper back.
The backside of the ribcage.
The sides of the ribcage and the front.
And the solar plexus.
The abdomen.
Lower back.
Right hip.
Left hip.
Right knee.
Left knee,
Right ankle,
Left ankle.
Tuning into the soul of the right foot.
Allow awareness to fill the sole of the right foot.
And into all five toes.
And to the left sole of foot.
Awareness filling the sole of the left foot now.
And into the toe.
Both feet together.
Both feet together.
All of the toe.
Both of the legs.
Awareness flowing into the whole body now.
The whole body as one.
Radian Align.
The whole body.
Subtly vibrating.
Vibrate body electric.
Welcoming the awareness of prana.
Breath.
Your life force energy.
Your body filling and emptying.
Zero effort.
Breathing.
Expanding.
Just imagining the breath flowing in and out of the third eye center.
Imagining you could breathe in and out through your third eye.
Breathing in and out from the third eye center.
And there's no certain way however this happens for you.
And now moving to the center of the chest and breathing.
Imagining you could pull your breath.
The energy of your breath in and out of your body.
Effortlessly Now combining the two.
By imagining breathing into the heart center and out the third eye center.
N.
And ow.
Sense,
Feel or imagine.
This pattern of your breath.
Have a bright life.
Letting the breathing practice go.
And coming to simply feel the breath at the nostril.
Can you pour all of your awareness into the right half of your body?
Like a pitcher pouring attention.
Down the right half of the body.
Sensing the right side of your body as separate.
And now can you welcome the left hemisphere of the brain.
Equally sensing the right side of the body and the left hemisphere of the brain.
Allowing all of that to soften and then awareness comes back to the cadence of the breath at the nostril.
Awareness filling the left half of the body.
The left side from head to toe.
Who's your awareness?
Sense of the left side as separate.
And now welcoming the right hemisphere of the brain.
The right hemisphere of the brain and the left side of the body together.
Left body,
Right brain simultaneously.
Returning to the nostril.
Imagine the breath could wash up and down the body again.
Welcoming and energetic.
Rocking.
See the body shimmering with a golden light.
Cold and light,
Shimmering.
Everywhere.
And this body resting back.
As pure awareness.
One with.
Your divine true nature.
Simply resting.
Drifting.
Just dance.
Aware of the fullness of all that you are.
And you start to guide your breath to become just a little bit deeper.
Just a little bit.
Fuller.
Awfully calling back your Simkhopa.
Your intention.
Might you repeat this three more times in the fertile soil of your mind?
Now.
Drifting off into Deep sleep.
Perhaps you're moving on with the rest of your day or evening.
And start to take a couple deep breaths in through your nose.
In the long,
Slow exhale out your mouth.
Bringing a little movement to your body.
In your hands and fingers.
Your toes and feet.
Moving your body in any way.
That you feel inspired to.
Taking as long.
As you'd like,
As long as you can to come back from this.
Practice.
Stretching,
Maybe changing positions now.
Listening for these beautiful sounds.
Whatever is next for you.
I hope that you will Feel this peaceful state of energy.
Again.
To the fullness of who you are,
The bliss of who you are.
Wishing you all the very,
Very best.
