You'll never come second by pitting God first.
Brian Houston The most important relationship we have in life is the one with God.
The divine.
And today we'll take a moment to deepen our connection with God.
In this yoga nidra practice.
Nurturing our connection with God will give us strength,
Hope and faith.
And this connection is an anchor that we have to keep us grounded and centered in unshakable inner peace.
As a quote by Saints Catherine of Siena goes,
Wherever you are,
God is.
Wherever you are,
Love is.
A reminder that we are always connected to God.
We are part and parcel of the divine.
Wherever you are,
God is always with you.
God loves you unconditionally.
You are supported.
You are guided and your path is always blessed.
Let's take a moment to give thanks to God.
For this breath.
For this gift of life.
That God has given us.
Feeling this divine presence in our heart.
Now let's move into our yoga nidra practice.
Lie down and take a moment to get as comfortable as possible.
Allow your eyes to close.
And allow your whole body to soften.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale completely,
Letting everything go.
And another deep inhale.
And deep exhale.
Feeling the flow of air coming in and out through the nostrils.
Let your body sink into the surface below you.
Feeling completely supported.
Now let's choose our sankalpa for this practice,
A heartfelt intention.
Some examples could be I am full of faith and love.
I am connected to God.
God is always with me.
Choose a sankalpa that resonates with you in this moment.
Repeat your intention silently in your mind three times.
Now softly let this go as we begin rotating awareness through the body.

Love and peace that comes from your eternal connection with God.
