Welcome to this practice of Yoga Nidra.
I am Amanda and I'll be guiding you here.
This is a practice for calling in the echo of loving presence,
Our own loving presence.
Can you think of times where it might have been helpful to give yourself permission to bathe in your own loving safe space?
That is the intention of this Yoga Nidra.
Find a comfortable position in which to receive the practice.
Maybe on your bed,
A chair,
Your yoga mat.
Make sure that your body temperature is nice and even.
And when you're ready,
Allow your eyelids to rest down.
Upper lids meeting lower lids.
Wiggle as much as you need to,
To find an impeccable level of comfort.
And then begin to sense your most natural rhythm of breathing.
Really feel the breath as it enters your body.
And sense the echo of your breathing,
Rippling out in all directions,
Through your physical body,
Your mental realm,
Your energetic system.
Sense the impact of one safe loving breath.
Get a nice slow smooth breath in through both of your nostrils.
And exhale out of your mouth.
Let's do that again.
Deep breath in through both of your nostrils.
And exhale again out of the mouth,
Letting go,
Letting go.
Letting your body drop down into the support beneath you.
Feel yourself being held in this time,
In this space.
Tune in to the point between your two eyebrows.
And allow your attention to drop down in a plumb line towards the center of your chest.
Here,
Let's feel our intention,
Our collective intention.
I now call in safe,
Loving presence.
Allow your awareness to move down to your right little toe.
And feel with all of your awareness,
The sensations of having a restful sleep.

Fully as it is.
Allow your awareness to descend once more,
But this time to the left little toe.

Allow your awareness to drift from the perineum up through the core of the body,
Up through the core of the body,
Rising into the base of your heart.
Sense the echoes of your awareness washing through your heart.
And now feel the petals of your heart open to receive our intention.
Our collective,
Powerful intention.
I now offer myself loving,
Safe space.
I now offer myself loving,
Safe space.
Allow yourself to bathe in the echo of your own loving presence.
Allow yourself to bathe in the echo of your own loving presence.
When you're ready,
You begin to deepen your breath.
I wish you wellness,
Love,
Safety and presence.
Thank you very much for meditating with me.
Bye for now.
Namaste.
