Namaste,
Welcome to my channel.
My name is Danielle,
And today I invite you to join me on a 20-minute Yoga Nidra session designed to energize your morning and set a positive tone for the day ahead.
In this guided Yoga Nidra meditation,
You will feel refreshed and revitalized.
Whether you're new to Yoga Nidra or a seasoned practitioner,
This session is perfect for starting your day with intention and positive energy.
Find a comfortable place to lie down,
Perhaps on your yoga mat or a soft surface.
Make sure you are warm and cozy,
Covering yourself with a blanket if needed.
Let your arms rest comfortably by your sides,
Palms facing upward,
Creating an open and receptive posture.
If you prefer,
Place a small cushion or pillow under your head and beneath the knees for additional support.
Now,
Make those final adjustments to enhance your comfort and begin this well-earned journey of full-body relaxation.
Close your eyes and begin to settle into the space of stillness.
Yoga Nidra practice will now begin.
Allow your body to begin to settle.
As the eyes are closed,
Letting the darkness and calmness wash over you.
Take a breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely,
And then exhale slowly through your mouth,
Feeling the whole body beginning to relax and let go.
With each breath,
Let go of any stress or worries you have on the mind for the day ahead.
As you breathe,
Notice the points of contact between your body and the surface beneath you.
Feel the weight of your body sinking into the ground as if the earth is gently supporting you.
Let your muscles soften and relax,
Releasing any tightness in your face,
Neck,
And shoulders.
Allow your back to rest heavily against the mat and let your hips and legs relax completely.
Bring your awareness to your feet,
Noticing any sensations there.
Often your feet are becoming warm and heavy,
Sinking deeper into relaxation.
Move your attention up through your legs,
Feeling each part of your body becoming more and more relaxed.
Knees,
Thighs,
And hips all releasing,
Letting go of the tension you feel in your body.
Let the whole lower body feel at ease.
Shift your focus to your hands and your arms.
Feel your fingers,
Palms,
Wrists,
All becoming relaxed,
Soft.
Allow the sensation to travel up through your forearms to your elbows,
Upper arms,
All the way to your shoulders.
Let your shoulders drop away from your ears,
Releasing any tightness you're holding in your upper back.
Move your awareness down to your torso.
Feel your chest and abdomen rising and falling gently with each breath.
Notice your back and spine relaxing down onto the props.
Let any tension in your neck and jaw release and melt away.
Feel your entire face soften,
Letting go of any expression.
Your whole body relaxed,
Calm,
And at ease.
This is your time to relax and recharge.
Let go of any thoughts or distractions.
Trust that this practice will bring you the energy and clarity you need for the day ahead.
Now,
Bring your awareness to your heart center,
Right between your lungs in the center of your being.
Reflect on a positive intention or goal for your day.
It could be a simple affirmation.
I am energized and focused.
Or you might try,
I embrace today's opportunities with an open heart.
I embrace today's opportunities with an open heart.
Silently,
Repeat your sankalpa,
Your positive intention,
Three times,
Repeating it silently to yourself.
Allow the intention to embed into your consciousness.
We'll now move through a rotation of consciousness,
Guiding awareness to different parts of your body.
As I mentioned,
Each body part,
Visualize or mentally repeat its name and feel it relax completely.

Feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed.
Now begin to count your breaths backward from 10 to 1.
With each inhale,
Silently say 10,
And with each exhale,
Silently say 9,
And so on until you reach 1.
If you lose count,
Gently return to 10 and start again.
This counting will help deepen your relaxation and keep your mind focused,
Recharging both body and mind.
Imagine a beautiful golden light at the center of your heart.
See this light expanding,
Filling your chest and spreading throughout your body.
Feel the warmth and energy of this light as it moves through you,
Energizing and revitalizing every cell.
Now picture yourself in a morning landscape.
The sun is rising,
Casting a glow over the scene.
You feel the soft,
Warm rays of the sun on your skin,
Filling you with energy and vitality.
As you breathe in,
Inhale this vibrant energy.
And as you breathe out,
Release any remaining tension.
Vibrant energy as you inhale,
Releasing any tension as you exhale.
Visualize yourself moving through your day with a sense of calm and focus.
See yourself handling tasks with ease,
Interacting with others with kindness and clarity.
Hold this image in your mind and let it reinforce your Sankalpa.
Bring your awareness back to your heart center.
It's time to recall your Sankalpa that you set at the beginning of your practice.
Silently repeat it three times,
Feeling its power and significance.
Know that this intention is now ready to guide and support you throughout your day.
Begin to bring your awareness back to your body.
Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes at your own pace,
Feeling the energy return to your limbs.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Feel fully present in your body.
When you are ready,
Slowly roll onto your right side,
Resting there for a moment in a fetal position.
Use your left hand for support and bring yourself up to a nice,
Comfortable seat.
Keep your eyes closed and take a moment to feel the effects of your yoga nidra practice.
Notice any changes in your body and mind.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes.
Carry this sense of calm and positive energy with you as you move into your day and support you on your life's journey.
Thank you for joining me.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be at peace,
And may you live a life of ease.
Namaste.
