Transcript

Begin by lying down in a comfortable position,

Allowing your body to fully rest.

Let your arms rest alongside your body,

Palms facing up,

Legs extended.

Close your eyes and invite your whole body to soften into stillness.

As you land here,

Begin to bring your attention inwards,

Allowing the moment you were just in to fall away,

And coming into your body right here,

Right now.

Nowhere to go,

Nothing to do.

When you're ready,

Begin to deepen your breath,

Allowing your breath to fill your whole torso.

As you exhale,

Allow yourself to soften,

To settle,

And taking a few breaths like that at your own pace,

Your own rhythm,

Creating space on your inhale,

And allowing yourself to settle,

To soften,

To yield to gravity on your exhale.

When you're ready,

Bring your breath back to its natural rhythm where it wants to land.

Bring our attention to the body.

Bring attention to the right hand thumb,

Second finger,

Third finger,

Fourth finger,

Fifth finger,

Palm of the hand,

Back of the hand,

Wrist,

Forearm,

Elbow,

Upper arm,

Shoulder,

Right side of the chest,

Waist,

Right hip,

Thigh,

Knee,

Shin,

Ankle,

Heel,

Sole of the right foot,

Top of the right foot,

Right big toe,

Right second toe,

Right third toe,

Right fourth toe,

Right fifth toe.

Now bring your attention to the left hand,

Left hand thumb,

Second finger,

Third finger,

Fourth finger,

Fifth finger,

Palm,

Back of the hand,

Feel your whole body now,

Deeply relaxed,

Resting,

Supported by the ground beneath you.

Now become aware of your natural breath,

Moving in and out of your body,

No need to change,

Simply observe.

Feel the rise and fall of the breath in your belly,

The expansion and the release.

Let the breath soothe you,

Like a gentle wave.

If the mind begins to wander,

Bring it back to the rhythm of your breath.

Feel how the earth rises up to meet you.

Feel free to stay here,

Or begin to deepen your breath once again.

Gently blink open your eyes,

And take your time getting up.

Thank you so much for joining me for this quick yoga nidra.

I hope you have a beautiful rest of your day.
