Welcome,
Dear dreamer.
Tonight's somatic healing yoga nidra practice is designed to support vagus nerve regulation and guide you gently toward deep sleep by bringing you out of the racing mind and back into the felt safety of the body.
There is an old story about a student who brought a bowl of muddy water to his teacher and asked,
How do I make it clear?
The teacher simply said,
Set it down.
And after some time,
Without forcing,
Without stirring,
The mud settled on its own.
The water became transparent again.
In the same way,
The mind becomes clear when it's allowed to rest.
Tonight,
We return to that spaciousness.
The spaciousness beneath the stirring.
And let the breath guide you gently back home.
This is a place to soften A place to settle.
A place to remember that you do not need to hold everything so tightly right now.
Through breath,
Presence,
And gentle embodied awareness.
This practice invites your nervous system to unwind from overactivity and return to a deeper state of calm.
And as the body begins to feel safe again,
Sleep is no longer something to chase.
It becomes something that can arrive naturally.
Quietly.
On its own.
There were times in my own life when peace felt very far away.
And it was through practices like this.
Simple,
Grounding,
And deeply restorative.
That I began to find my way back to stillness.
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 authenticity.
Spaciousness.
And rest.
So now,
Let yourself get comfortable Allow the surface beneath you to receive your weight.
Let your jaw soften.
Your shoulders loosen.
Let your belly know it no longer needs to brace.
And when you're ready,
Place one hand over your heart.
And one hand over your belly.
Feel the warmth of your own touch like a gentle embrace.
Feel the quiet movements.
Of your breath.
Beneath your hands.
This is where healing begins.
Not by forcing anything to change,
But by gently returning to the body One breath at a time.
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 more deeply And one more time,
A smooth,
Easy inhale.
And if you'd like to try an audible exhale like this a longer audible exhale.
Let each exhale be a little longer than the inhale.
Let the longer exhale be a signal of safety.
A quiet message to the nervous system You may soften now.
You may be here now.
You may rest now.
And now,
Before we go deeper,
Quietly set your sankalpa.
Your heart's intention for this practice.
You might repeat silently,
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.
This session is designed to reset your nervous system.
A soothing,
Restorative journey for your brain.
And entire peripheral nervous system.
Much like a full body massage.
Combined with the energetic balancing of acupuncture.
Through this practice,
You will be guided into a profound state of relaxation.
Allowing your body and mind to soften.
Unwind and restore.
Take a moment to settle in.
Creating your perfect yoga nidra resting space.
Ensure you have everything you need to feel completely supported and at ease.
Perhaps a pillow beneath your head or knees.
A blanket wrapped around you for warmth.
Or an eye covering to block out any remaining light.
Let yourself Take any small adjustments.
Moving intention.
Until your body feels fully at rest.
Completely supported by the surface beneath you.
Now,
Take two gentle sips of air in through your nose Exhale slowly through an open mouth.
Allowing your jaw to soften and your entire body to release.
Once more,
Inhale twice through the nose.
And let go with a deep,
Effortless sigh.
One last time.
Two sips in.
And exhale,
Feeling your body grow heavier.
Surrendering into the support beneath you.
Your nervous system begins to unwind.
Untangle like a tightly wound thread.
Unraveling into spaciousness.
Allow yourself to fully arrive here in this sacred moment of rest.
As your body settles,
Feel your breath return to its natural rhythm.
Like gentle waves rolling in and out.
Relax the muscles of your face.
Your jaw.
Your tongue.
Softening the tiny muscles behind your eyes.
The micro muscles around your forehead and scalp.
Let go of any lingering tension.
Imagine the two hemispheres of your brain.
Like tired muscles.
Slowly unclenching.
Opening into ease.
Spaciousness.
Stillness.
And could you allow this relaxation to flow downward?
Feel it cascading through the entire body.
Melting through your shoulders.
Down your arms.
Into your hands.
Softening your abdomen.
Your pelvis.
Your legs.
All the way to the soles of your feet.
The very tips of your toes.
Wrapped in warmth.
Cocooned in stillness.
You are momentarily untethered from the outside world.
Free to simply be here.
Resting in this sanctuary within.
Allowing the mind to dissolve into spacious awareness.
As if thoughts be gently embraced by the heart.
Letting go of thinking.
Planning,
Doing.
Opening instead to the experience of listening.
Sensing being.
Fully present.
Completely at peace.
Feeling the gentle ebb and flow of your breath as it carries you deeper into stillness.
Held,
Supported,
Nourished by this moment of profound rest.
Nothing to do.
Nowhere to be.
Simply here.
As you continue to relax.
Surrendering into this deep state of being.
Know that you are safe.
That you are enough.
That you are whole.
Rest here for as long as you need.
Embracing this sanctuary of stillness within.
Now,
It's time to set your sankalpa.
Your intention.
If you do not have a specific intention at this moment,
You may silently affirm I surrender completely.
Allowing my body and mind to rejuvenate in perfect harmony.
Whisper this intention three times in your mind and body.
Letting each repetition deepen its presence within you.
Let this resolve remain present throughout your practice.
Feel its resonance extending into each moment.
Like a gentle wave washing over your awareness.
Now,
A journey of awareness through the body begins.
Direct your attention to the tip of your tongue.
The surface of the tongue.
The roof of the mouth.
Direct your attention to the entire mouth.
The teeth and gums.
The inside of the right cheek.
The inside of the left cheek.
The space between the upper and lower lips.
The air moving in and out of the nostrils.
The tip of the nose.
The bridge of the nose.
Feeling both eyebrows.
The temples.
Direct your attention to both eyes together.
Growing heavier.
Gently relaxing.
Back into their sockets.
The sensation of relaxation deepens as the eyelids soften and the muscles surrounding the eyes tighten.
Release completely.
Direct your attention to the center of your forehead.
The entire forehead.
Allowing awareness to seep into the scalp and hair.
The entire scalp and hair.
A sensation of warmth or tingling may emerge,
Spreading down from the crown of the head like a gentle wave of relaxation.
Focus attention on the entire right hemisphere of the brain.
The entire left hemisphere of the brain.
Both hemispheres together,
Simultaneously,
Uniting in a sense of spacious awareness.
The brainstem.
The root of the tongue.
The entire jaw.
The center of the throat.
The base of the throat,
Expanding with each effortless breath.

Both simultaneously embracing the entire left side of the body and right hemisphere of the brain.
A sensation of unity,
Balance,
And effortless awareness emerges.
Now,
Welcoming both hemispheres of the brain.
The right and left sides of the body together.
Sensing the wholeness of your being merging into stillness and peace.
The entire body.
The whole body effortlessly at rest,
Embraced in a state of deep relaxation.
Feeling the breath.
The body breathing itself,
Steady,
Natural,
Soothing,
Guiding you deeper into serenity.
In your nostrils,
You may sense warmth as you exhale.
A coolness as you inhale.
Becoming aware of the breath.
Feeling the gentle rhythm of your breathing.
Noticing the ocean of air surrounding you.
Waves rolling in.
Waves rolling out.
Sinking deeper into relaxation.
Allowing your body to soften.
To settle.
To surrender into the stillness.
As you observe this effortless,
Natural breath,
Feel yourself becoming more and more present.
Begin to count down from 18 as you inhale.
Softly whispering the number 18.
As you exhale,
18.
On the next inhale,
17.
Exhale,
17.
Continue at your own gentle rhythm.
With each breath,
Feeling the passage of air moving through you like a gentle ide,
Cleansing,
Soothing.
Calming.
Whenever you are ready,
You can release the count.
Returning to the natural flow of your breath.
The next time you inhale,
Imagine your body becoming light.
Weightless,
Floating effortlessly.
Drifting upward,
Light and expansive.
Floating on the breath.
Like a feather lifted by the wind.
The next time you exhale,
Sense your body becoming heavy.
Sinking into the earth.
Grounded.
Feeling the weight of your body supported in your chest.
Embraced by the earth beneath you.
The fullness of your body resting even more deeply.
With each exhale,
Surrendering further into comfort and ease.
On the inhale.
Once again,
Embracing weightlessness.
With each breath floating,
Spacious,
Free,
As though held by an invisible force of calm and clarity.
As you hover in this tranquil space.
Bring your awareness to the center of your forehead.
Allow a rotation of images to gently arise.
The feeling of bare feet against the earth.
The scent of flowers drifting in the air.
Their fragrance infusing each inhale with serenity.
Golden sunlight filtering through the trees.
Casting dappled light upon your skin.
The soothing song of birds in the distance.
A melody of nature's harmony.
A vast horizon lined with mountains.
Their peaks whispering stories of timelessness.
The glow of the setting sun,
Painting the sky in hues of amber and violet.
The shimmer of ocean waves beneath moonlight.
The rhythm mirroring your breath.
The warmth of flickering flames in a fire.
Their glow offering quiet comforts.
A silent owl gliding through the night sky.
Wise and knowing.
The Milky Way stretching infinitely across space.
An expanse of wonder and mystery.
A deep sense of connection with all that is.
A boundless awareness.
Infinite and whole.
And embrace of all existence.
Resting in this profound interconnection with all things.
Feeling the pulse of life within and around you.
Allow yourself,
Welcome your sankalpa.
Your intention.
Feeling it resonates within.
Or softly stating it in your mind.
Imagining yourself.
Floating amidst the constellations.
Bathed in celestial light.
The outline of your body traced by twinkling stars.
Forming the constellation of you.
Begin to sense physical form of your body.
The edges.
The volume,
The presence.
Feeling the volume of your being resting in your sacred cocoon.
Your sanctuary of stillness.
Noticing the breath moving through you effortlessly.
The gentle rhythm of life itself.
Taking a deep breath in.
And releasing fully.
Then two small sips of air through the nose.
And exhale completely.
Repeating once more,
Breathing in deeply.
And releasing.
One last time.
Softening into stillness.
Expanding into the moment.
Allowing yourself to absorb the benefits of this practice.
The deep nourishment.
Of presence.
You are safe here.
And the body is beginning to believe it more and more.
Nothing to manage now.
Nothing to prepare for.
Only this quiet descent.
Jim Broome.
Nights beyond the glass.
A little warmth still lingering.

The shoulders loosening their hold.
The belly no longer needing to stay guarded.

Rain somewhere distant.

And everything becoming gentler now.
Less effort.
Less vigilance.
Less need to stay alert.
The earth beneath you steady.
The room around you calm.
The darkness kind and spacious.
Comforting.
