Welcome,
Dear dreamer.
Tonight's somatic healing yoga nidra practice is designed to support vagus nerve regulation by gently guiding you out of the racing mind and back into the body.
This is a space to soften.
A safe place to come back home.
A place where you do not need to keep holding everything so tightly.
Through breath,
Presence,
And embodied awareness,
This practice invites your nervous system to move out of tension,
Out of overthinking,
And into a deep state of safety and ease.
And as the body begins to feel safe again,
Sleep can arrive naturally,
Gently,
On its own.
There were seasons in my own life when peace felt very far away.
When burnout,
Inner pressure,
And the weight of unresolved emotion made it hard to remember what rest even felt like.
But it was through practices like this,
Simple,
Embodied,
Honest,
And deeply restorative.
That I began to find my way back to myself.
And I create these tracks so you do not have to walk that path alone.
So you can feel supported in your own return to stillness,
Authenticity,
And rest.
So now,
Let yourself get comfortable.
Allow the surface beneath you to hold your weight.
Let your jaw soften.
Let your shoulders loosen.
And let your body know it does not need to perform anymore.
When you're ready,
Place one hand over your heart and one hand over your belly.
Feel the warmth of your own touch.
Feel the breath moving beneath your hands.
This is where healing begins.
Not by forcing anything to change.
But by gently returning to the body.
Breath by breath.
Take a slow inhale through the nose.
And exhale softly through the mouth.
Again,
Breathing in.
Feeling the chest and belly rise and breathing out.
Allowing the body to settle.
A little more deeply.
One more time,
A smooth,
Easy inhale.
And a longer,
Softer exhale.
Let each exhale be longer than the inhale.
Let the longer exhale become a signal of safety.
And if you'd like to try,
You may try an audible exhale that sounds like this.
And allow your shoulders to drop off.
Relax.
A quiet message to your nervous system you may soften now.
Let's try that again.
Inhale.
And then audible exhale.
You may rest now.
Be here fully.
You may soften now.
And be present.
In a few moments,
I'll share one of my favorite poems,
Rumi's The Guesthouse.
A reminder that thoughts and emotions can be welcomed without becoming who you are.
After that,
We'll continue deeper into the spaciousness beneath it.
Into the part of you that can witness.
Allow.
And remain open.
The Guesthouse by Rumi This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy,
A depression.
A meanness.
Some momentary awareness comes.
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all.
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
Who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture.
Still,
Treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for a new delight.
The dark thought,
The shame,
The malice.
Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
Because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Now,
Before we begin the deeper journey inward,
Quietly set your sankalpa.
Your heart's intention for this practice.
You may silently repeat.
I am safe in my body.
I rest in spacious awareness.
Sleep comes gently and easily.
Again,
I am safe in my body.
I rest in spacious awareness.
Sleep comes gently and easily.
Let that settle softly within you.
And now,
We begin.
Namaste,
Dear dreamer,
And welcome to this sacred sanctuary of peace and profound renewal.
As you settle into your chosen place of rest.
Allow yourself to lovingly prepare your space with mindful care and intention.
Perhaps you might gently arrange a pillow beneath your head.
Soft and inviting.
Or wrap yourself in a comforting blanket that tenderly holds your body.
Offering warmth and gentle reassurance.
If it feels right,
You might softly cover your eyes.
Welcoming the restful embrace.
Of complete darkness.
Take your time,
Dear one,
To move intuitively and tenderly.
Adjusting yourself with thoughtful care.
Until every part of your being feels perfectly supported.
Ready to gracefully surrender into serene stillness.
This is your sacred moment.
A gentle pause.
A loving invitation to reconnect deeply.
With the tranquility and calm that lies within.
Now,
Softly draw in two gentle sips of air through your nose.
Sensing a peaceful awakening.
Gently stirring within your heart.
With a relaxed sigh through your open mouth.
Release all tension effortlessly.
Like delicate clouds dissolving beneath the warm.
Golden touch.
Of morning sunlight.
Again,
Inhale gently.
Two calming,
Nurturing sips of air.
And exhale fully.
Noticing the soothing wave of relaxation.
Cascading throughout your body.
One final time.
Breathe in slowly.
Tenderly.
And then fully let go.
Allowing every muscle.
Every cell.
To soften deeply.
And surrender its weight completely.
Held safely by the comforting embrace of the earth beneath you.
Allow your breathing now to find its own effortless rhythm.
Naturally rising and falling like gentle waves,
Softly caressing the shoreline.
In this quiet,
Sacred space.
All that matters.
Is your peaceful presence.
For the air.
Fully now.
Lovingly guide your awareness toward your heart center.
Sensing a gentle warmth.
Blossoming from within.
Radiant and calming.
Expanding softly outward.
With each tender heartbeat.
Feel into this peaceful energy.
This inner sanctuary of serenity and unconditional ease.
Allow it to hold you.
Nourish you.
Softly whispering reassurance into every part of your being.
Within this tender embrace,
Invite yourself to set your sankalpa.
A deeply heartfelt intention for your journey today.
Allow this intention to emerge gently from within.
Phrased in positive,
Loving words.
Present and clear.
If no intention spontaneously arises,
Perhaps softly affirm to yourself,
I surrender deeply.
Allowing my body and mind to rejuvenate in perfect harmony.
Take a quiet moment to inwardly repeat your intention three times.
Allowing each repetition to resonate gently throughout your being.
With every heartfelt whisper of your sankalpa.
Sense it sinking deeper and deeper.
Into your consciousness.
Carried lovingly into the very core of your heart.
With your intention now set.
Simply rest.
Feeling profoundly supported.
And gently held in this nurturing stillness.
Allow the quiet whispers.
Of your sankalpa to echo softly within.
Carried on the gentle currents of your breath.
Creating subtle ripples of peace and harmony.
That soothe every cell.
Every thought.
Every sensation.
You are here now,
Perfectly aligned.
Your intention woven gently into the fabric of your being.
Guiding you gracefully through this restorative journey.
Trust in this tender space.
This quiet unfolding.
Knowing you are exactly where you need to be.
Gently embraced by the profound stillness.
And unconditional ease.
Now,
Dear one,
Lovingly shift your awareness to your physical body.
Gently preparing yourself to embark upon a soothing journey of deep relaxation.
Begin at the crown of your head.
Sensing a warm,
Comforting sensation like soft sunlight tenderly touching your scalp Feel this warmth slowly spreading downward.
Gently melting away any tension.
Any stress.
Dissolving effortlessly.
Beneath its loving embrace.
Allow your forehead to become smooth and expansive.
Each wrinkle softly releasing.
As though gently brushed away by the tender touch of a calming breeze.
Feel the gentle relaxation cascading downward.
Your eyebrows softly letting go of their subtle grip.
Eyelids growing heavier.
Comfortably resting.
Effortlessly releasing.
Into serene stillness.
Sense a gentle warmth spreading across your cheeks.
Soothing every tiny muscle.
Relaxing your jaw completely.
Allowing your tongue to rest quietly.
Effortlessly within your mouth.
Now let this tender,
Nurturing warmth flow gently down into your neck and throat.
Lovingly soothing each muscle fiber.
Releasing any lingering tightness or holding.
Sense your throats gently opening.
Expanding softly.
As your neck muscles unwind like silken ribbons.
Tenderly loosened.
Freeing you from tension.
Guiding you even deeper into peaceful ease.
Allow this comforting warmth to spread slowly.
Tenderly into your shoulders.
Feeling as though gentle hands lovingly lift away any burdens you carry.
Notice your shoulders becoming softer.
Lighter.
Effortlessly letting go as your muscles melt into profound relaxation.
Allow this serene sensation to cascade gently down your arms.
Flowing through your elbows.
Into your forearms.
Wrists.
And your hands.
Gently bathing your fingers in quiet.
Restful.
Calm.
Sense each fingertip softly tingling with quiet.
Restorative energy.
Peaceful and serene.
Let your awareness lovingly flow to your heart space.
Sensing a gentle expansive warmth radiating softly within your chest.
Each heartbeat echoing peace.
Tranquility and deep contentment.
Feel your chest softly rising and falling.
Effortlessly relaxing.
Your breath gentle and harmonious.
Effortlessly guiding you deeper into relaxation.
Allow this warm wave of relaxation to flow downward.
Softly embracing your abdomen.
Gently releasing any tightness,
Any holding.
As your belly naturally softens and expands with ease.
Sense this calming warmth spread into your pelvis and hips.
Gently inviting your body to open.
Surrendering effortlessly into spaciousness and freedom.
Feel this serene wave of warmth softly cascading down your thighs.
Your knees and your calves.
Gently releasing each muscle fiber.
Each tendon.
Effortlessly dissolving into profound ease.
Allow your legs to become comfortably heavy.
Fully supported.
Surrendering their weight completely into the nurturing embrace beneath you.
Finally,
Let your awareness tenderly envelop your ankles.
Feet and toes.
Lovingly guiding each muscle.
Each joint.
To soften and release fully.
Feel the subtle tingling of warmth in your souls.
Sensing a quiet energy.
Gently grounding and connecting you deeply to the earth beneath you.
In this moment.
Sense your entire body.
Lovingly cradled in deep,
Comforting relaxation.
Each cell bathed in restorative calm.
Fully and effortlessly at peace.
Your body rests gracefully.
Gently supported.
Profoundly at ease.
Allow yourself to fully experience this sensation of deep relaxation.
Trusting completely in the gentle,
Nourishing stillness that now surrounds you.
Here,
In this tender embrace,
Simply rest.
Allowing yourself to dissolve softly into serene stillness.
Perfectly balanced.
Lovingly held.
Gently guided deeper.
Into profound tranquility.
And peace.
With your body now resting deeply in gentle comfort.
Lovingly allow your awareness to softly shift to your breath.
Notice the subtle rhythm flowing effortlessly in and out of your body.
Like quiet ocean waves.
Gently kissing the shore.
Peacefully rhythmic.
Endlessly soothing.
Simply observe this natural breathing.
Without altering or controlling it.
Allowing it to gently guide you further inward,
Deeper into tranquility and peace.
Sense the coolness of the air as it softly enters your nostrils.
Refreshing.
Nurturing and deeply calming.
Feel the warmth of each exhale.
Gently leaving your body.
Carrying away any remaining tension.
Any lingering tightness.
Leaving you lighter and more serene with every breath.
With each inhale,
Feel a gentle expansion of your chest.
Your heart softly opening.
Like a flower tenderly unfolding beneath the gentle touch of morning sunlight.
As you exhale.
Sense your entire being.
Softly melting into deeper stillness.
Effortlessly releasing.
Perfectly at peace.
Begin now,
If you wish,
To softly deepen your breathing.
Gently drawing your awareness inward with every inhalation.
And gently letting go with every exhalation.
Allow your breath to carry you gracefully.
Into a deeper level of serene,
Pure awareness.
Imagine each breath as a gentle wave.
Softly lifting you upward weightless and expansive on the inhale.
Gently grounding and anchoring you with profound peace and stability on the exhale.
Inhale slowly.
Quietly counting inwardly to yourself.
Perhaps counting softly to four.
And exhale gently.
Counting to four again.
Feeling each number effortlessly guiding you deeper into a state of calm and peaceful relaxation.
As you breathe,
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your abdomen.
Your chest effortlessly expanding and softly releasing.
Effortlessly mirroring the graceful,
Rhythmic dance of gentle ocean tides.
Allow your awareness now to move softly to the subtle sensations of your breath within your body.
Feel the gentle caress of air touching the insides of your nostrils.
Softly brushing against the back of your throats.
Feeling your lungs fully.
Lovingly nurturing every cell with its calming,
Life-giving essence.
As you exhale,
Sense this gentle wave of breath.
Softly leaving your body.
Gently carrying away any remaining thoughts,
Worries,
Or distractions.
Leaving you fully present in this serene awareness.
If your mind wanders,
Gently and lovingly guide your attention back to the soothing rhythm of your breath.
With each breath,
Sense yourself sinking deeper into quiet stillness.
Effortlessly centered.
Deeply peaceful.
Allow your awareness of breath to anchor you in the present moment.
In a gentle,
Loving embrace of pure tranquility and inner harmony.
Continue breathing gently and rhythmically.
Feeling yourself becoming lighter and freer with each breath.
Imagine each inhalation softly filling you with serene energy.
Clarity and peace.
And each exhalation releasing effortlessly,
Dissolving gently into expansive stillness.
Now,
Allow yourself to begin softly counting down from 10 to 1.
Gently aligning each number with your breath.
Silently whisper 10 as you inhale.
And 10 as you exhale.
Then softly move to 9.
On the next inhale and exhale.
Continuing down to one.
Each descending number softly guiding you into a deeper state of profound relaxation and peaceful awareness.
With each count,
Feel your mind releasing more fully.
Letting go of any lingering thoughts.
Becoming clearer.
Quieter.
And profoundly at peace.
When you reach one,
Gently release the counting altogether.
Allowing your breath to simply carry you effortlessly lovingly cradled in pure,
Peaceful presence.
Rest now in the serene awareness.
Breathing naturally.
Fully supported.
Gently guided deeper.
Into the profound,
Peaceful sanctuary within.
Now,
Dear one,
Allow your inner eye to softly open.
Inviting you to gently step into a vivid world of peaceful,
Calming imagery.
Imagine yourself standing barefoot upon warm,
Velvety earth.
Feeling the tender,
Grounding embrace of the ground beneath your soles.
Each step you take is slow.
Mindful.
Connecting deeply with the nurturing energy of the earth.
Gently supporting and lovingly guiding you.
On your journey forward.
As you wander gently along this tranquil path.
Breathe in the delicate fragrance of blooming flowers.
Their sweet scent,
Softly filling your senses with tranquility,
Ease and joy.
Feel the comforting warmth of golden sunlight.
Filtering through the tall leafy trees above.
Tenderly touching your skin.
Dappling it with gentle luminous patches of soft,
Peaceful light.
Let yourself pause for a moment.
Breathing deeply,
Absorbing this sense.
Of serene warmth.
Fully.
Into every cell of your being.
As you continue your gentle walk.
Listen closely to the soothing melodies.
Of distant birdsong.
Each note harmonizing beautifully.
With the gentle whispers of leaves softly dancing in the breeze.
Allow these beautiful sounds to soothe your heart.
Gently dissolving any remaining thoughts.
Gently guiding you further into serene silence and profound peace.
Ahead,
You notice an expansive horizon unfolding gracefully.
Majestic mountains softly embracing the skyline.
Their ancient peaks standing quietly beneath a breathtaking sky,
Painted with gentle strokes of amber,
Soft pink,
And rich,
Deep violet.
Pause here.
Breathing gently.
Allowing this magnificent beauty to gently fill your heart with profound awe and tranquil stillness.
Now,
Let your awareness gently carry you toward the soothing rhythm of moonlit ocean waves.
Gently rolling in and out along a peaceful shoreline.
Feel yourself effortlessly emerging with this rhythmic dance,
Sensing your breath naturally aligning with each gentle wave.
Drawing in deeply on the inhale.
And softly releasing on the exhale.
Feel the serene power and tranquil strength of the ocean.
Gently resonating within you.
Grounding yet expansive.
Peaceful yet profoundly powerful.
Picture yourself near a softly crackling fire.
Its warm flames gently flickering.
Casting a comforting golden glow around you.
Sense this tender warmth seeping gently into your bones.
Filling you with deep nourishing peace and profound relaxation.
Allow yourself to fully surrender into this soothing embrace.
Bathed in comfort and tranquility.
Feeling deeply at home.
Profoundly safe.
And wonderfully peaceful.
High above,
Notice a graceful owl silently gliding through the star-filled night sky.
Its effortless flight embodying wisdom,
Quiet knowing,
And serene grace.
Feel yourself connecting deeply with this profound wisdom.
This gentle presence.
Sensing your own inner knowing.
Gently awakening and softly illuminating your path.
Now,
Softly expand your awareness,
Sensing yourself gently held within the infinite vastness of the universe.
Your form lovingly traced by twinkling stars.
Effortlessly becoming one with this boundless,
Luminous expanse.
Rest deeply in this interconnected stillness.
Knowing you are infinitely supported.
Profoundly connected.
And perfectly aligned.
As your visualization slowly fades,
Gently bring your awareness back to your sankalpa.
Your heartfelt intention.
Softly echoing through every cell.
Every part of your being.
Lovingly affirm it one final time,
Feeling it settle deeply within your heart.
Gently guiding your journey forward with grace,
Clarity,
And gentle strength.
Rest here for as long as you desire.
Bathing fully in this sensation of profound peace.
Connectedness and serene harmony.
Know that you can return to this sacred sanctuary anytime you wish.
Lovingly held.
Deeply nourished and profoundly at peace.
You are safe here.
And something in the body is beginning to settle into knowing.
Nothing leaning in.
Nothing demanding.
Only this stillness.

Rain beyond the walls.
Open land beneath a field of stars and everything becoming simpler now.
Less effort.
Less tension.
Lest need to stay so tightly gathered.
The ground beneath you steady.
The air around you calm.
The darkness,
Kind,
Comforting.
You do not need to watch over this moment.
You do not need to hold yourself upright inside it.
You do not need to go any further tonight.
Only the softening Only this pause Only this gentle return.
A gate closed for the night.
Warm covers drawn near.
Moonlight across resting water.
The body knows it's on way back.
Not through force.
Not through thought.
Through warmth.
Through slowness.
Through release.
And some deeper part of you is already responding.
Jaw softening heart.
Opening.
.
.
Quieter now.
Still water.
Already near.
Already holding you.
Already safe.
And beneath everything.
Already home.
You are safe here.
And something in the body is beginning to settle into knowing.
Nothing leaning in.
Nothing demanding.
Only this stillness.
This quiet easing.
Nights around you.
A little warmth nearby.
A room that asks nothing.
The breath finding its own softer rhythm.
The shoulders,
Letting go a little more.
The belly loosening its hold.
A distant lamp.
Rain beyond the walls.
Open land beneath a field of stars.
And everything becoming simpler now.
Less effort.
Less tension.
Lest need to stay so tightly gathered.
The ground beneath you steady.
The air around you calms.
The darkness,
Kind,
Comforting.
You do not need to watch over this moment.
You do not need to hold yourself upright inside it.
You do not need to go any further tonight.
Only the softening Only this pause Only this gentle return.

Still water.

Already holding you.
Already saved.
And beneath everything.
