Welcome,
This is a yoga nidra practice for attuning to the energy centres of the body.
A journey to release anything you no longer wish to carry in these spaces and reconnect in with the innate vibration that lives within you.
So when you're ready,
Begin by finding a comfortable place,
Lying down,
Taking any small adjustments you need to be able to rest in the stillness of the practice.
Asking yourself,
Could I be even 5% more comfortable,
What would that look like?
And when you're ready,
Closing down the eyes and tuning in,
Allow the ground to rise up and meet you.
Allow yourself to be completely held by the ground beneath you.
Nowhere to go,
No one to be.
Just be in this space,
A coming home,
Allowing your breath to be the guide,
Allowing your body to be the listener,
The feeler and allow your mind to dissolve down into the body.
Begin tuning in to the rhythm of your breath.
Each inhalation filling the body up with awareness and sensation.
Each exhale,
A soft release,
Letting go of tension,
Effort or thought.
Bringing your awareness to the tips of the nostrils,
To feel that cool air as you inhale and slightly warmer air that comes out as you exhale.
So subtle,
But can you feel it?
Imagine you're breathing into every corner of your body.
Softening the edges,
Melting down,
Surrendering into stillness.
Beginning to bring your awareness to the top of the head,
The crown of the head and notice any tension or energy that may be present here.
As you breathe in,
Can you imagine a soft white light pouring into this space?
Gently filling your crown with this pure,
Calming energy.
As you breathe out,
Sighing,
Releasing any heaviness,
Thoughts,
Worries that are not serving you.
Inhale into that white light and sigh out through the mouth,
Allowing everything to melt away into the ground.
Allowing the light to journey downward to the space between your eyebrows.
Each inhale here,
Can you visualize a purple light growing with every inhale?
A deep sigh,
We release anything that's clouding our vision,
Intuition.
Inhale,
Feel that purple light expand.
Exhale,
Release.
Allow the light to travel down to the center of your throat.
Feel into the vibration here.
How does this space feel?
As you breathe in,
Can you breathe in a blue light into this space?
As you breathe out,
Sighing out any held on words that no longer serve your truth.
Feel the throat soften with every breath.
Tension melting away with every exhale.
Allowing the light to travel down to the center of your chest,
Your heart space.
Can you soften your heart?
Feel into the gentle pulse of life here.
As you breathe in,
Visualizing the green light filling up your heart space.
As you exhale,
Sighing away any emotional weight you may be holding.
Allow your heart to soften.
Traveling down to your solar plexus,
Just above the navel.
Can you feel into the warmth of your power center?
Breathe in this yellow light,
The fire of your inner strength,
Your confidence.
As you exhale,
Sighing out any self doubt,
Fear.
Allowing them to dissipate into the earth.
Traveling down to your sacral center,
Just below your navel.
Feel into the flow of creativity,
Emotion,
Pleasure.
As you breathe in,
Can you breathe in an orange light expanding into this space?
Sighing out any emotional blockages that may be held here.
Allow the space to be fluid,
Free,
Effortless.
Traveling down to the base of your spine,
Feel the ground beneath you,
Supporting you,
Grounding you.
As you breathe in,
Visualizing a red light,
Red energy,
Drawing up from the earth,
Filling your root with stability and strength.
Each exhale,
Can you sigh out the fears,
Insecurities,
Allow them to be absorbed by the earth.
Staying here for a few more breaths,
At the very base of your being.
Feel the earth beneath you,
Steady,
Stable,
Unshifting.
With each breath out,
Imagine anything you no longer need,
Any old energy,
Tension,
Residue.
Gently being pulled down into the earth,
Into the soil beneath you.
The earth knows how to hold it,
How to compost what no longer serves.
Hand it over to the earth.
Taking one more breath in,
Open the mouth to sigh a final release.
Empty.
From the base of your spine,
Begin to feel the energy softly lifting up.
This time we draw the energy upwards,
A rising current,
A remembering.
Connecting in and attuning into the wisdom of each center.
Beginning at the base of your spine,
Your root,
Your foundation and belonging.
As you breathe here,
Draw the energy up from the earth,
A deep red light rising.
Reminding yourself,
I am safe.
I am supported.
Slowly letting that energy rise to your sacral space just below your navel.
Feel the softness of this center,
Your sensuality,
Your creativity.
Breathe into that orange glow expanding here.
Reminding yourself,
I am fluid.
I am free.
I allow pleasure and emotion to move through me.
Allowing that energy to rise up to your solar plexus,
The fire in your belly,
The seat of your will.
Breathe into a golden light.
You're in a flame.
Reminding yourself,
I am strong.
I trust myself.
I honor my inner power.
Rising up to the heart.
Breathing into your heart.
A soft emerald light.
Expanding in all directions.
Feel into its rhythm.
I am open.
I give and receive with ease.
Let the light rise up to your throat.
The center of expression,
Of truth.
A cooling blue energy swirling here.
I speak clearly.
I express myself freely.
My voice matters.
Breathe into that blue light.
Coming up to the space between your eyebrows.
Your third eye.
Breathe into a deep indigo glow here.
The seat of insight.
Clarity.
Inner knowing.
I trust my intuition.
I see clearly.
I honor my inner wisdom.
And finally the crown of the head.
The place where you feel into and realize.
We are at one with everything around us.
Breathe into this white light.
Knowing.
I am connected.
I am infinite.
Pause and rest in this white light.
Can you feel your connection here?
Allow yourself a moment to sit.
In this space of vast stillness.
Knowing you are exactly here where you need to be.
Trust in the becoming.
Feel each affirmation gently settle into your being.
As your energy integrates with these words.
Inhaling presence.
Exhale surrender.
Let this light cascade around you.
Like a waterfall of energy.
Let it wrap you.
Hold you.
Feel yourself coming home.
If you wish to stay in this space a little while longer.
Please do.
Stay basking in this energy.
If you are ready.
Slowly begin to deepen your breath.
Bringing awareness back to the body.
Gentle slow movements.
Deepening the breath.
And only when you feel ready.
Gently opening the eyes.
And coming back to the room.
Thank you for practicing with me today.
I hope this energy can be carried with you.
Into the rest of your day.
Namaste.
