Yoga Nidra With The Land As Ancestor

Before you begin this practice, choose a plant or land mass (mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, ocean, etc) from where you currently live or where your ancestors are from. You will work with this plant or land as your ancestor throughout the nidra.
We often think about people as ancestors, but what about the land as an ancestor? The land is not just the ground beneath us, but an ancestor that holds our stories, shapes our lives, and continues to guide us. The land cares for us; how are we in relationship with it? This yoga nidra is an opportunity to rest into relationship with the spirit of the land and all it provides. Create a supportive nidra nest with your pillows, blankets, and eye coverings, and get ready to rest with the land as an ancestor.
