Welcome home to yourself.
And welcome to this practice of yoga nidra.
Welcoming this body resting upon this earth.
Every part of you is so welcome here.
All of the tired parts of you.
All of the heaviness of you.
I invite you now into a space of deep rest.
Healing and possibility.
This Yoga Nidra is an invitation to step beyond the familiar self.
To connect to infinite potential.
And to rest so deeply that transformation can occur naturally.
Before we begin I want to share an idea inspired by the work of Dr Joe Dispenza.
Your personality creates.
Your personal reality.
The thoughts you think.
The emotions you rehearse.
And the energy you embody.
Become the signal you send to your life.
And when you change the signal and tune in to a new frequency,
Reality begins to respond.
And now let us begin by finding the most comfortable position.
Laying down in your bed or reclining on a comfy chair.
Taking care of the environment around you so that there is very little chance of being disturbed.
Taking care of your needs for comfort.
Quiet.
Darkness and stillness.
Perhaps grabbing an extra blanket or duvet.
Maybe putting on cosy socks and placing an eye covering over your eyes.
Making use of supports,
Pillows and cushions.
Beginning to allow this body now to settle down into the earth.
By taking three deep breaths in through the nose,
Pausing at the top and releasing with an audible sigh in your own time.
Taking these moments to shapeshift.
To settle and surrender.
Signalling to your precious body,
Mind and spirit that this is the time to go inwards.
Taking a moment to listen.
Carefully.
And feel.
Into.
The inner landscape of your body.
Be still and listen with presence.
Become aware of the natural rhythm of the breath.
Feel the warmth of the air entering your lungs.
Feel the air leaving the body through the nostrils or softly parted lips.
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your body with each breath.
Sinking down deeper into stillness and a sense of deeply felt surrender.
Be with the natural rhythm of the breath.
And tuning in now to the environment around you.
What does the environment sound like?
How does your environment feel?
And now we will welcome in a sense of deeply felt connection to the earth beneath your body.
To Mama Gaia.
The earth herself.
Have a sense of connecting deeply to the soil.
The bedrock.
The crystalline structures underneath your body.
Deep down into the ground.
Supporting you.
Feel her stability.
Feel Hell.
Steady.
And while softening to the sense of being held and rooted to the earth.
Feel into a sense of the vast sky above your head.
To all the planets and star systems above and around you.
Connecting to a sense of expansiveness.
To infinite possibilities.
You are safe.
You are hell.
You are here.
We are here together.
Welcoming in this space this moment of deep,
Deep rest.
With every exhalation allowing your body to sink even deeper into the support beneath you.
Softening your jaw and releasing any tension in your shoulders.
Relaxing the space behind your eyes.
Feel all the skin on your face softening with every breath.
And now we shall go on a journey of consciousness around the body.
The invitation is to imagine,
Sense or feel that you place a golden shimmering star at each point in the body that I mention.
Starting at the crown of the head.
Placing a shimmering golden star at the crown of your head.
And from the crown of the head to the third eye,
The space between your eyebrows.
And from the third eye to the back of your head placing a shimmering golden star at the back of your head.
And from the third eye to the centre of your throat,
Placing a shimmering star at the centre of your throat.
Placing a golden star to shimmer at the back of your neck.
Placing lines of shimmering stars along both shoulders.
Left shoulder.
And right shoulder.
Both shoulders shimmering with golden starlight.
Placing a bright glowing orb of shimmering light at your heart centre.
Allowing this golden light or star to twinkle in your heart space.
And moving your awareness down to the left breast.
And right breath.
Shimmering golden stars at both breasts together.
And placing a shimmering star.
To the whole of your back area.
The upper back.
And the lower back.
And sensing,
Imagining a big,
Beautiful,
Golden star glistening at your belly button.
And little shimmering stars filling your womb's space with golden light.
Placing a star at each buttock.
The left buttock.
And right buttocks.
And both buttocks together shimmering with golden starlight.
And now sensing,
Feeling into your yoni or pussy space.
Placing a bright golden star to glisten here at your vulva.
Sensing your clitoris.
Your vagina.
Basking in the golden warmth of your own awareness.
And placing little tiny stars down the inside of both your thighs.
And down your upper legs.
The fronts and the backs of your upper legs shimmering with starlight.
And all the way down to both knees.
The fronts of the knees and the backs of both knees.
And down your car.
Down the shins on both legs.
Placing two glistening stars on each ankle,
The left ankle.
The right angle.
And all the way down to the tops of both feet.
Out through the soles of both feet.
Feel how it is to hold the whole of your being,
Your body in your awareness.
Imagine or feel your whole body shimmering like an entire constellation of stars in the dark night sky.
Just simply allow yourself to be here in this moment.
Sensing the wholeness and stillness of you.
You Now the invitation is to call back your power.
To sense or imagine yourself calling in your strongest,
Most vibrant,
Powerful self.
Calling back your power,
Your light.
Your vitality.
Your uniqueness.
From all the people or situations that you may have given it away to in the past.
To anyone or any situation that you are unintentionally give it to now in your life.
Calling back your power,
Sensing,
Calling it back.
Stay connected to the sense of energetically calling back your power.
What does your power feel like?
Does your power have a colour?
A shape.
Or even a sound.
Pull back your power from the universe around you now.
Imagine that with every breath you take the constellation of stars within your body are beginning to brighten up again.
As you imagine.
Visualize,
Feel yourself pulling back your power.
With every breath you breathe,
Imagine all the tiny configurations of shimmering stars in your being reigniting.
Realighting.
As if you feel energetically as though you are recharging your sense of self.
Reigniting your purpose.
Re-remembering your magic.
And your inner divinity.
And unique beauty.
With every inhalation calling back the energy that belongs to you,
The wisdom Take it back into your being.
Refilling your cup to overflowing with radiant light.
Radiant.
Trust.
Inner Power.
Strength.
And beauty.
Repeating in your mind's eye five times.
I am a radiant and powerful being.
I am a radiant and powerful being.
I am a radiant and powerful being.
I am a radiant and powerful being.
I am a radiant and powerful being.
Repeating that affirmation to yourself now in your mind or out loud.
And letting go now of that affirmation.
Allow yourself to be still,
Silent and safe in this space.
Soaking it all in.
Beginning to slowly and gently return now back to your body resting upon this earth.
Feel the parts of your being in contact with the surface you're resting on.
Noticing the sounds in the room or the building that you're in.
And letting go now of this practice and feeling the rise and fall of your belly with each breath.
Beginning to wriggle your fingers and toes.
Perhaps you'd like to take a deep breath in and have a stretch and a yawn Perhaps you'd like to roll gently over to one side.
And rest here in the fetal pose for a few moments.
Very slowly bringing yourself up to a seated position in your own time.
This is the end of your Yoga Nidra practice.
Namaste.
