Similar to Yoga Nidra scanning, this guided practice scans your awareness through different aspects of the body. However, rather than the typical sequence of classical Yoga Nidra, the meditation connects you with the regenerative power of the body. Fully guided, this meditation helps with physical and emotional healing and steeps you into a deep sense of wonder and awe.

Renewal Breath This beautiful practice is an easy way of combining breath work and visualization which will be guided to allow a leaning in of your awareness into the renewal spirals of your body.

To be able to feel the constant reach for harmony and regeneration and to know that and to feel that at your deepest level as your cells are regenerating every moment.

This practice is experienced in Shavasana.

So lying down on the ground nothing touching the body remove a pillow from behind your head and as you're lying there the curve of your skull lengthens the back of the neck.

Feel into a lovely alignment down the spine and a symmetrical placement of legs,

Shoulder blades and arms,

Palms facing up and feel that beautiful swoop into surrender that Shavasana brings you so effortlessly.

The breath is calm and long and you're happily surrendered to the floor.

Now as you're breathing bring all of your awareness to your skin.

Feel as if your body is breathing through your skin.

Notice the feeling of skin that's under fabric,

Warm,

Veiled and safe.

Now move your awareness to the skin that's open to the air.

Cool,

Alive,

Engaged.

Now feel into the warm underside of your skin from inside your body,

Moist and red.

And now move your awareness through the fabric of your skin and feel the skin from the outside in,

Dry and warm and alive.

Breathe into every skin cell in your body and as you're breathing visualize those cells responding to your pranic breath.

Breathe into the skin's renewal process.

On the inhalation visualize new cells emerging into your skin's fabric.

Perfect,

Radiant,

Vital and strong.

And as you breathe out visualize the release with the feeling of gratitude of all the older skin cells no longer required.

Stay with this process of breathing in fresh radiant skin and breathing out old,

Tired skin and know that this visualization is having a direct effect on how the skin is rebuilding itself right now.

Within one year your entire skin organ will be renewed.

Now move your awareness inside your body to your bones.

Feel into the contrast between your soft fluid tissues and the structure of your bones.

Scan your skeleton from the tip of each toe,

The bones in the foot,

The long strong leg bones,

The hip bones.

Feel the intricate bones in the fingers and the hands,

The arms.

Sense into your spinal column,

Your ribs,

Your collar bones and your skull.

Feel into the curve of your forehead,

Your eye sockets,

Your cheekbones but from the inside notice the bones of the jaw and the teeth.

And now breathe your awareness into your bones renewal process.

As you breathe in visualize new cells emerging into your skeleton.

Perfect,

Radiant,

Vital and strong.

And as you breathe out release with great gratitude the old bone cells no longer required.

Stay with this process of breathing in fresh radiant bone and breathing out old tired bone.

And know that this visualization is having a direct effect on how your skeleton is rebuilding itself right now.

Within three months your entire skeleton will be renewed.

And moving your awareness now into your blood stream.

Feel into the fluid coursing through your body delivering oxygen and nutrients cleaning and cleansing your entire system physically and energetically.

And as you breathe in visualize the old dark viscous blood being revitalized with a flash of oxygen in your breath.

See if you can still your attention even further to sense the resonance the subtle vibration of each blood cell.

Breathe into the bloods renewal process and as you breathe in visualize new cells emerging into the rivers of blood to pour through you.

Perfect,

Radiant,

Vital and strong.

And as you breathe out release with gratitude the old blood cells that are no longer required.

And stay with this process of breathing in fresh radiant blood cells and breathing out old tired cells.

Know that this visualization is having a direct effect on how your blood is rebuilding itself right now.

In four months your body will be filled with entirely new blood.

Now bring all of your awareness to the contact between the back of your skull and the ground beneath you.

Feel the weight of the bony skull.

Feel the weight of the watery brain settled by gravity.

The back of the skull.

As you're breathing through the nose feel into that connection between the flow of air in the nose and the nadir and the bathing of the left to the right side of your brain with every breath.

Expand your awareness and take in both nasal flows.

With stillness you can detect the balance,

The synchronization of all parts of your brain.

Lean your awareness into the cells now emanating a slow more coherent vibration.

At the feeling that every cell in your brain is breathing and renewing itself.

Breathe into your brain's renewal process.

As you breathe in visualize new cells emerging into the soft hemispheres,

Base of the brain,

The brain stem,

The cortex.

Perfect,

Radiant,

Vital and strong.

See the pineal gland nestled in the center of the brain between the two hemispheres flash with light.

As you breathe out release with gratitude the old brain cells you no longer require.

Stay with this process of breathing in fresh radiant brain cells and breathing out old tired imperfect cells and know that this visualization is having a direct effect on how your brain is rebuilding itself right now.

Within a year you will have an entirely new brain.

Expanding your awareness now to hold the whole of your body lying still and soft on the floor.

Feel the very subtle vibration of the life force that permeates every micro system,

Pattern,

Cell and atom.

This vibration holds the entire manifest universe in play and it's the same vibration that spins your atoms on their axes that ripples through the life would reach every cell.

The innate desire to thrive.

That same vibration and rhythm is in your breath,

Is in your heartbeat.
