Hello and welcome.
I'm Annabelle and I'm with Anna today and we will be guiding you through your yoga nidra and sound healing practice to help you fall asleep.
We are so grateful you are here today choosing to spend your time with us.
In Sanskrit nidra means to sleep.
Today in this practice we are wanting to completely relax into a deep restorative and healing sleep.
It's important for me to say that if you do not fall asleep during this,
That's okay.
It's more important that you're giving yourself this time to relax than it is to achieve an end goal or to gain sleep out of this.
It's more about creating this time for yourself.
Within us we all have the solutions to our own problems and by practicing yoga nidra regularly,
Perhaps even if it's just before you do fall asleep,
You'll notice that each time you are able to relax more.
Each time you will be invited deeper into the place that we can only go to when we are asleep where our true potential lies for healing and renewing the body.
Let's awaken this together.
So go ahead and get comfortable.
I would suggest for this practice to get comfortable in your bed.
If you haven't already,
Start to prepare to go to sleep.
Make sure your teeth are brushed and you're comfortable in a place that you would like to sleep for the rest of the evening.
Adjust your body in any way before we begin.
It is best to lie on your back,
But again just choose what is comfortable for you.
Just begin to notice your body and where it is lying on the bed,
The points of contact,
The points of contact that you feel comfortable with.
Just begin to notice your body and where it is lying on the bed,
The points of contact,
Without wanting to change anything,
Just observing.
Accept that some parts of your body are holding on to more stress than others.
Accept your body exactly how it is in this moment.
Close your eyes.
Begin to take a few easy breaths.
Begin to take a few easy breaths.
In through the nose and exhale completely let go.
Bring an intention to your mind that you would like to fall asleep to tonight.
Whatever fits in your life today.
Repeat this intention in your mind a few times.
Remember to let go as much as you can of what's happening next,
What's happening tomorrow.
The only thing for you to do right now is to follow my voice.
Make a resolution to yourself and repeat,
I am relaxed and ready to fall asleep.
I am relaxed.
Welcome to Yoga Nidra.
Slowly begin to notice the sounds around you,
Starting from the further sound away that you can hear.
Without identifying it,
Just listen and become aware.
Now slowly making your way into the four corners of this room.
Listening to the sounds and just letting them go.
Making your way to the closest sound that you can hear.

Now begin to feel like your mind feels like the sky.
Each cloud is one of your thoughts or emotions.
In your mind,
Take a moment to look up at your sky.
And see which themes are in your life up there.
Which are looming dark rain clouds.
Which are little white puffs.
Across the sky.
Most beautiful of them all is the bright brilliant beaming patches of clear blue.
You focus on these and feel the weight lift from your shoulders.
You breathe deeply and feel yourself relax.
You are relaxed.
Slowly all the clouds in the sky are one by one blown away by a brisk wind.
With enchanting energy.
You watch the clouds disappear over the horizons and as you do your mind clears.
You feel a great sense of relief and deep relaxation as they disappear.
Nothing to worry about.
Nothing to think about.
Nothing to do.
Only blissful and clear open blue is in your mind now.
Relax now.
You are safe.
Relax now.
You are safe.
Remember your intention.
And let it drift with the clouds.
It manifests within your body.
You don't have to think about it or control it.
It will flow through you.
You are not alone.
You are not alone.
It will flow through you.
Relax now.
You are safe.
Relax.
