Welcome.
This practice is Yoga Nidra.
Guided rest and awareness practice designed to support deep relaxation of the body and mind.
Do not need to concentrate or analyze anything during this session.
Who are simply being guided into a state of effortless awareness.
Yoga Nidra is not a sleep practice.
It is a state of conscious rest.
Where the body can deeply relax while awareness remains.
Gently press it.
There is nothing you need to achieve here.
We can allow the body to settle fully.
And simply follow the guidance as it unfolds.
Before we begin.
You are invited to bring to mind the Sankalpa.
A simple,
Clear intention that feels meaningful to you.
Let it be short.
Something less quiet in their direction,
Rather than a call.
Hold it gently in awareness for a moment.
And now we begin.
Take a moment to notice the weight of your body the places where gravity is already doing the work for you.
Feel how the back of the body is held.
The back of the head.
The shoulders back of the ribs.
The pelvis.
Back of the legs.
The heels There is nothing to adjust.
Just noticing support.
Now allow the breath to move naturally.
No need to deepen it.
No need to guide it.
Breathing happens on its own.
You can let it continue that way.
Bring awareness to the right side of the body the right hand the palm.
Back of the hand.
The fingers.
Calm.
The wrist.
The four R's the elbow.
The upper arm the shoulder.
Let the right side soften.
As if it's gently sinking.
Awareness moves now to the left hand the palm.
The back of the hand.
The fingers.
Calm.
The wrist.
The forearm.
DLO the upper arms the shoulder.
Both arms resting.
Nothing to hold.
Awareness moves to the neck.
Dip back up the neck.
The sides of the neck.
The throat.
The jaw.
The cheeks.
The eyes.
Let the eyes rest back in their sockets.
No effort.
The far edge.
The temples.
The skull.
The whole head resting.
Now awareness moves to the chest the upper chest.
The center of the chest.
The ribs,
Expanding and softening with breath.
The upper back the middle back.
The lower back The belly,
Soft,
Unheld.
The pill lives.
Hips,
Awareness moves down the right leg,
The thigh.
The knee.
The gap.
The angel.
The food.
Soul of the food.
Toes the right leg resting.
Awareness moves down the left leg,
The thigh the knee.
The gap.
The angel.
The food.
So love the food.
Toes.
Both legs heavy.
Supported.
The whole body now.
From head to toe.
Resting as one.
Take a moment to reconnect with your Sankalpa.
Let it return once more quietly in the mind.
There is nothing you need to do with it right now.
Simply allow it to be present.
And as you are ready,
You can begin to deepen the breath.
Breath slightly.
Not forcing anything,
Just becoming a little more aware of the space around you notice the room the sounds around you.
Sense of being here No rush.
When you feel ready,
You may gently move fingers and toes and slowly begin to re-engage the body.
And when it feels right Open the eyes.
Carrying your sankalpa with you beyond this practice.
This practice is now complete.
