Yoga Nidra,
Yogic sleep.
This practice is to help you remember the radiant starlight within you,
Even in moments of darkness.
To fully embody your divine light through every cell and space in your body.
Just reminding you that even when the sun is shining bright in the sky,
Those beautiful stars are still there.
Even on the cloudy days,
The stars still shine.
Even on your dark days,
Your light is always within you.
Within this practice,
You enter into the realm of sacred rest.
A journey inwards to the vast cosmos that lives within you.
Yoga Nidra is not a deep sleep,
But a state of profound conscious rest.
A doorway into the liminal,
Between waking and dreaming,
Where the soul speaks and the body heals.
The journey that you will take now is one of starlight.
To remind you that even when clouds of life gather,
The stars remain.
Even when you forget your light,
It never leaves you.
You are made of stars.
Let's remember that now.
Adjust your body until you feel completely and utterly supported and held.
Let the earth hold you.
Let gravity draw you into a deep surrender.
If your eyes are still open,
Let them flutter closed and your breath softening.
Inhale slowly through the nose and exhale softly through the mouth.
Feel the stillness around you grow,
Like the dark sky before the stars emerge.
Still and calm.
With each breath,
You drift deeper.
You dissolve and you melt and you soften.
It's time to plant a seed,
A sacred intention,
A sankalpa.
It could be,
I remember my light.
Or even in the darkness,
I shine.
Or finding your own intention and repeating it internally three times.
Now in a moment,
We begin the rotation of consciousness,
A tour through the temple of your body,
And at each point,
You will visualize a soft,
Radiant starlight,
Gold and white and shimmering,
Like a star being born in the galaxy of you.
There is nothing to force.
Simply follow,
Feel and allow the light to awaken within you.
All you have to do is follow the sound of my voice and let your awareness drift from point to point.
By the end of the practice,
Your whole body,
Physically,
Emotionally,
Energetically,
Spiritually,
Shimmering with gold and white light.
Let us begin.

Every cell.
Every atom filled with cosmic radiance.
You are no longer a body.
You are a galaxy of light.
See yourself now from above as though you are floating in space.
You are lying on the earth yet glowing like a radiant star.
Thousands of star points dancing across your skin.
Inside your bones.
In your breath.
In your being.
You are a living constellation.
You are the night sky walking,
Dancing,
Floating.
Even when you forget.
Even when you are so tired dear soul.
Even when your world clouds over.
Your light remains.
Your soul never dims.
You are stardust remembering itself.
And just for now let yourself drift in this vastness.
Float.
Float in the galaxy within you.
Melt into the stillness and the light.
There is nothing to do.
And as you float,
Your starlight radiating within and beyond and all around,
Your light was always there.
It never ever leaves you.
Feel the layers of clouds or weight,
Restrictions or binds float off you and every release your light radiates brighter and brighter and brighter.
You are starlight.
You are starlight.
You are starlight.
You are starlight.
Now in a moment you will return.
You will not pick up any of the clouds or the darkness.
You will leave that behind.
You are starlight.
Your light will continue to radiate and glow and shine illuminating the space that you are in the room,
The building,
The town,
The city,
The country,
And all of the lights in this world connect.
Imagining all those people right now who are meditating with you and reconnecting to their light.
All connected.
All light.
So in a moment we are going to bring ourselves back to earth.
The breath deepening.
Feeling the weight of your body.
If you feel that you would like to,
You can bring little gentle movements.
The fingers and the toes.
The head.
The arms.
Keep your eyes closed.
Let these words anchor to your soul.
I remember your light.
I remember my light.
I remember our light.
I remember my light.
Even when I forget,
My light is always there.
I am made of stars.
I am made of stars.
I am made of stars.
Bring your hand to rest on your heart or bring your palms together at your heart centre.
Breathe in full of light and radiance.
Exhale gratitude.
The stars are not outside of you.
They are in you.
Always.
From the starlight that is in me to the starlight that is always within you.
Namaste.
Namaste beautiful star.
Namaste.
