Just take a moment to settle in.
This is yoga nidra,
Restoring radiance,
A journey to cleanse the inner space and reconnect with your natural light.
So whether you're on a detox or moving through transition,
Or simply craving renewal,
This practice offers space to pause,
Soften,
And begin again.
Cleansing is not only a physical practice,
It's a quiet shedding.
Old thoughts,
Heavy energy,
Unspoken emotions.
This practice supports your body's wisdom,
Your mind's stillness,
And your spirit's renewal.
Just allow the breath to flow freely and allow gravity to do the work.
Let yourself be held.
Go ahead and close down your eyes and nestle into comfort.
Feel your body surrender into stillness.
The earth welcomes all of you without resistance.
You are safe to release.
You are safe to restore.
There is nothing you need to do now,
But rest,
And allow the sound of my voice to guide you inward,
Like sunlight returning to the petals of a flower.
Trust the journey.
Your radiance is already here,
Waiting to be remembered.
Bring into your heart a simple intention,
A sankalpa.
This is not a goal or a wish,
But a deep,
Heartfelt resolve,
A quiet vow that arises from the soul.
It may emerge as a soft whisper from within.
Or perhaps allow this one to support you.
I am clear.
I am light.
I am renewed.
Repeat it inwardly three times over.
Feel it settle into your heart like a seed.
Let it root into the fertile soil of your being,
Nourished by presence and stillness.
Now draw your attention to the space between your eyebrows,
And sense a gentle shimmer of silver light,
Like moonlight over still water.
This inner glow is the doorway inward,
A place where you remember what's already true.
Feel this light pulsing at your brow,
Drawing you deeper into the sanctuary of your inner world.
Now let us begin the journey through the body,
A tender restoration of awareness to every part of you.
Begin at the crown of the head,
Where light touches the skin.
Forehead softens.
Temples dissolve.
Eyes rest in their sockets,
Like petals floating in water.
The cheeks slacken.
Lips part slightly.
The jaw unknots,
Like silk unwinding.
Throat opens.
Breath flows.
Right collarbone.
Shoulder.
Upper arm.
Elbow.
Forearm melts.
Wrist loosens.
Palm of the right hand.
Warm and open.

Open like wings.
Shoulder blades.
Smooth and wide.
Neck long.
Back of the head.
Crown of the head.
The entire body.
Back and front.
Resting in stillness.
Draped in awareness.
Bathed in soft,
Radiant light.
Feel your body becoming very,
Very heavy.
Heavy like stone.
Heavy like sand soaked in warm rain.
The ground receives your weight with love.
Surrender it all.
The tension.
The stories.
The holding.
Now feel your body becoming light.
As if filled with golden mist.
Weightless.
Spacious.
Free.
Your breath is the breeze.
Your cells glow with radiance.
And now feel both heavy and light at once.
Rooted and lifted.
Grounded and clear.
Rest here.
In the balance of opposites.
Rest here.
In sacred stillness.
Now bring awareness to the breath.
Rising.
Falling.
Gently like waves on a quiet shore.
Feel the breath in your belly.
Your chest.
Your head.
Your collarbones.
And sense the breath everywhere.
In the palms of your hands.
In the soles of your feet.
In the crown of your head.
And deep within your belly.
You are not doing the breathing.
You are being breathed.
Each inhale draws air.
Each exhale is in radiant light.
Each exhale carries away what is no longer needed.
Breathing into balance.
Breathing into radiance.
Now sense the landscape of your thoughts.
Imagine them like clouds in a wide open sky.
They drift and pass.
You are not the clouds.
You are the sky.
Let the surface of the mind grow still.
Let the stories dissolve.
Let the silence rise.
You are thoughtless awareness.
Spacious and clear.
Now feel into the quiet knowing beneath the mind.
The deeply intuitive presence that has always guided you.
The part of you that remembers how to heal.
How to release.
How to begin again.
Feel the inner wisdom like a golden thread within the chest.
Subtle.
Strong.
Steady.
It whispers.
I trust myself.
I know what to keep.
And I know what to let go.
Surrender into stillness.
Not the stillness of effort.
But the stillness of return.
Beneath every layer.
Beneath breath.
Thought.
And story.
There is a quiet joy.
A resting radiance.
You are the light.
You are the peace.
You are the pulse of sacred life itself.
Rest here now.
Float here now.
Dissolve into radiant bliss.
Begin to notice the shape of your body once more.
The air around your skin.
The surface beneath your body.
Allow your breath to deepen.
Bring a flicker of awareness to the space between your eyebrows.
The silver light that brought you here is now gently guiding you back.
Gently return to your sankalpa.
Your heartfelt intention.
Let it rise like a memory from the depths.
If nothing comes,
Let this one arise softly.
I am clear.
I am light.
I am renewed.
Repeat it inwardly three times over.
Feel the words settle back into the soil of your being.
Nourished by rest.
Rooted by stillness.
Let it echo quietly throughout your entire body.
A light that continues to guide you long after this practice ends.
Slowly invite movement into your body.
Wiggling the fingers and toes.
Perhaps a nice stretch.
Perhaps a gentle sigh.
When you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
You have returned.
Restored.
Radiant.
Namaste.
