Hi,
I'm Em and today's practice will be a yoga nidra to downregulate your nervous system and just connect you back into the natural rhythms of your body.
If you're feeling disconnected or just wish to check in with yourself and your sensations today,
This practice will support you in connecting back.
So whenever you're ready,
Begin to settle in.
So begin to bring your awareness inwards and just notice where you feel the breath in your body.
You may feel it in your chest,
Your abdomen or even your nostrils.
Just noticing where you feel the breath now.
And bring your awareness to your mind's eye center in the center of your forehead.
Allow yourself a moment for the awareness to absorb the sensations here at your mind's eye.
And now bring your awareness to the center of your throat.
The base of your throat.
Your heart center,
Noticing any sensations you feel here at your heart center.
There's no need to change anything.
You're simply noticing,
Witnessing the sensations that are already happening here at your heart center.
Now drift your awareness over to your right shoulder.
Elbow.
Wrist.
First finger.
Second finger.
Third finger.
And your little finger.
Your wrist,
Elbow,
Right shoulder,
The base of your throat.
And now bring your awareness back to your heart center and allow your awareness to absorb the sensations here once again.
As you rest back deeper and deeper.
And now bring your awareness to your left shoulder.
Elbow.
Wrist.
First finger.
Second finger.
Third finger.
Your little finger.
Wrist.
Elbow.
Shoulder.
Your heart center.
The right side of your chest.
The left side of your chest.
Your navel.
Pelvic center.
Drift your awareness to the right side of your pelvis,
Feeling any sensations here.
And now move that awareness down to your right hip.
Knee.
Ankle.
Your big toe.
Second toe.
Third toe.
Now your little toe.
Ankle.
Knee.
Pelvic center.
And now drift your awareness from the pelvic center to the left side of your pelvis,
Absorbing the sensations here in the left side of your pelvis.
Your left hip.
Your big toe.
Second toe.
Third toe.
Fourth toe.
Your little toe.
Ankle.
Knee.
Back to your pelvic center,
Noticing sensations here at your pelvic center.
Your navel.
And your heart center,
Feeling the familiarity of sensations here as you rest back once again at your heart center.
Drift your awareness now to the base of the throat.
The center of your throat.
And now your mind's eye center,
And as you allow your awareness to absorb the sensations here at your mind's eye center,
Allow your awareness to just rest here,
Soaking in the experience that you have created for yourself in this moment.
Take a moment to feel into the gratitude of rest that you have decided for yourself today,
And allow yourself to enjoy this deep presence.
And whenever you're ready,
Begin to notice the sounds around you in your environment,
Or you may notice the sound of my voice.
And take a breath through your nose and see if you can pick up any lingering scent in your environment.
It might be quite faint,
But that's okay.
And then bring your hands to your heart center,
And really connect to the feeling here of the energy from your palms to your heart.
And now you may wish to begin to open the eyes,
And take in the world around you.
Take as much time as you need here to center back and notice your environment.
And thank you so much for practicing with me today.
If you have enjoyed this short yoga nidra practice,
I would love to hear from you in the comments.
I read each and every comment,
And it always warms my heart to hear the messages and everyone's unique experience of the practice.
And when you're ready to practice next,
I'll be here.
Take care.
