Transcript

And just coming to a place where when you're lying down that you feel that you're just you can forget about your body.

Small movements sometimes are inevitable and we also might get distracted sometimes by random noises so being that life is never completely quiet.

You might hear some random noises in the background here where I am or indeed where you are but that's really okay and small periodic distraction is actually quite good for bringing the mind back from deep sleep but if you do sleep don't worry the meditation is still working.

So in your lying position I'd like you to really relax the body by taking three tension and releases so that's starting one end or the other of the body and just tense up all the muscles,

Toes,

Fingers,

Hands,

Feet,

Shins,

Calves,

Thighs,

Buttocks,

Tensing up all the muscles in the body all the way up to the back of the neck and the head and the face and take a long inhale breath and as you exhale relax the whole body.

Let everything go,

It's really great for preparing the body for sleep actually and also meditation.

And let's try that once more just tensing up the whole body from the tips of the toes all the way up.

Imagine like a Mexican wave of energy just tensing up the body all the way up to the top of the head.

When you're as tense as you can be inhale the breath very deeply into the chest and exhaling the breath.

And once more let's begin to tension the body from the toes all the way up the legs,

The arms all the way up to the top of the head,

Clenching the buttocks,

Tightening all the belly muscles all the way up the front of the body and taking a breath in even the face is all scrunched up and as you inhale and then exhale and really let go.

Letting go of any efforting and be willing to be led in this meditation that will be about 25 minutes.

Letting go of any efforting and be willing to be led in this meditation.

Allow yourself some time just to come into the present moment and really notice the sense of hearing.

Maybe there's some random sounds that are outside or inside the room or outside the building.

Just allow yourself to hear everything that you can hear.

Don't be aware now of the sense of touch of the body,

The cushions and the pillows wherever you're lying,

Wherever your hands and feet are touching just have a sense of where your body is actually being supported.

And touch of your skin against the clothes that you're wearing.

And closing the eyes and noticing that there's that black space as you close the eyes and that's fondly known as the Chidakash which is that space between the eyebrows where we feel like we're looking into infinite space.

It's really just noticing.

Maybe in noticing the sense of taste that you have when you feel the tongue in your mouth and through the breath maybe the sense of smell.

It's maybe a familiar smell of the room around you.

Maybe you're sensing the smell of a perfume or something that you're wearing or just the smell of your clothes.

Feeling the sense of taste and smell and sound.

The darkness behind your eyes and the sense of touch of the body really bringing yourself into the present moment.

Whether it's looking down part of your body or yourself you're potentially Becoming aware of the breath and the very simple movement of the breath in through the nose and out through the nose.

Really just become aware of the breath,

The sense of sound,

The taste,

The smell and the touch of the body just gathering you into this present moment.

And just noticing the breath as though it were the wind in the valleys and the hills of Mother Nature.

And really the curves and the dips and the troughs of your body were the landscape of Mother Nature with the breath moving effortlessly like the wind.

For me feeling that the breath is moving inside the body and outside the body as though it were moving between the trees and through the earth of Mother Nature herself.

Noticing where the breath is touching as it comes in through the nose and out through the nose.

Breath moving freely and easily as it finds its own passage coming and going.

Letting there be an even breath,

Simply being aware.

I am breathing in now.

I am breathing out now.

I am breathing in now.

And I am breathing out now.

All movement of the breath.

With awareness that I am practicing Yoga Nidra.

I am practicing Yoga Nidra.

I am practicing Yoga Nidra which is the form of awareness in this safe vessel in which I am resting.

Really connecting to that breath.

Also visualising the blood in the bloodstream and the water in the body like the rivers and the flowing nature of the water in the rivers through mountains and valleys of Mother Earth herself.

You get that sense of connection as you breathe and the flow of your blood and the flow of the water in your body.

The water that is being held in your cells so that it was water absorbed into the landscape.

Really feeling yourself as Mother Nature herself.

The rise and fall of your body and the curves and the twists and turns of the body and the little rises and the little valleys maybe between the toes and the fingers.

And the flow of the breath and the flow of the blood and the water in the body as though you were the landscape.

You are your own landscape of Mother Nature.

Just feeling the flow,

Visualising flow throughout the whole body.

Bringing pure awareness now to the body as we move around in a rotation of consciousness.

Feeling now the body as a tree,

A great majestic tree with your feet connected to Mother Earth.

The upper extremities of your body moving up through the tree trunk to the branches and the little leaves on the tree.

And either with pure awareness or maybe that you visualise awareness manifesting as a little flock of birds that will be landing in your tree.

Becoming aware of the little bird of awareness touching the tip of your nose.

And the left eye and the right eye.

And the top lip and the bottom lip.

And the little bird of awareness arriving on your chin.

And the tip of the left ear and the right ear.

To the top of the head and the back of the head.

And that curve of the back of your neck,

A little bird of awareness taking your full attention to the back of your neck.

And the notch of the neck at the front of the throat.

And a little bird of awareness landing on your right collarbone.

And the tip of the right shoulder and the right shoulder blade.

And the right armpit and the top of the right arm.

And the inner elbow and the elbow.

And the forearm and the wrist.

And a little bird of awareness landing in the palm of your right hand.

And the front of your chest.

And the lower ribs and the left side and the right side.

And a little bird of awareness landing in your belly button.

Left hip and then the right hip.

And then the coccyx.

And a little bird of awareness arriving on each vertebra as it moves up the spine to the very top of the spine.

The left side of the body and the right side of the body.

And the left buttock.

And a little bird of awareness touching and becoming aware of the left thigh and the back of the thigh and the back of the knee.

The knee.

And the shin.

And the calf.

The ankle.

And the tip of the left heel.

And the sole of the foot.

The top of the foot.

The top of the foot.

And the right big toe.

Second toe.

Third toe.

Fourth toe.

And little toe.

Now seeing your body as a majestic tree,

Grounded through your feet in Mother Earth.

Those little birds of awareness now all showing as a flock of awareness in the whole body.

Feeling each little bird placed in the left leg and the right leg.

The whole of the body.

The left arm and the right arm.

And the whole of your head.

You feel that each little bird brings pure awareness to the majestic tree that is your body.

This alive,

Wildish nature of the body.

Alive in every cell.

Feeling your vital life force like flow of energy through your body,

Through into Mother Earth and then from Mother Earth through into your body.

Feeling that vital nature,

That aliveness,

The life force that powers you.

Bringing awareness to I am practicing Yoga Nidra.

I am practicing Yoga Nidra.

I am practicing Yoga Nidra which is the form of awareness in this safe vessel where I rest.

So in this moment,

Getting in touch with your heartfelt desire,

What is it that arises to the surface in your heart?

Allow whatever it is to bubble to the surface and repeat this heartfelt desire.

No matter what arises,

Just repeat it three times.

What is it that arises?

What is it that is your desire for this lifetime?

So in the seed of this manifested heartfelt desire in this moment.

Really bringing your soft,

Tender awareness to your kind,

Compassionate heart.

The heart holds a gentle welcome for the naturally arising guidance of the inner teacher.

Just holding a welcome for that guidance in whatever form it may arise.

Enriching it with great respect and love.

Intensify your awareness now and bring yourself into the middle of a clearing in a beautiful wooded space.

And as you look around you can see through all the trees and the light as it pours through between the branches of the tree.

Everything in the middle is like a bright light almost coming down brighter than the sun from the universe.

Carving a column of white light in the middle of the clearing.

You can smell the deep sense of wooded smell from the trees,

That really earthy connection.

Almost feel the smell of the trees oozing through your pores and deeply connecting you to this amazing present moment space.

Sitting in the middle of the clearing this beautiful white light that's so intense it draws down from above and literally pours through every cell in your body almost bringing additional oxygen and pure breathing air.

And all around you as though you can hear it in the sky and in the trees and in the ground below the sound of OM.

Every deep sound of OM as though it is radiating from every single area of nature around you and within your body.

You can hear the constant almost tribal sound of OM.

Repeating and repeating and repeating that sound and it literally cleanses and cleans your whole body.

The sound resonating through all of your subtle energy bodies,

Your bones and muscles,

Organs,

Ligaments and tendons.

Feel the sound radiating,

Reverberating.

The strong sense of resonance and alignment with your internal nature.

And in this moment you feel a strong sense of connection to your soul,

Your higher wisdom,

Your higher purpose.

Opening every cell to the sound of OM almost like a cleaning,

Nurturing,

Cleansing beautiful resonance sound of the universe.

You feel completely aligned and connected.

Connected to nature,

Connected to your wildish nature,

Connected to the universe,

Connected to your soul,

Connected to your highest self.

And becoming aware,

I am practicing Yoga Nidra.

I am practicing Yoga Nidra.

I am practicing Yoga Nidra which is the form of awareness in this safe vessel in which I am resting.

Let the awareness settle down back into the space of your heart.

Simply let your awareness rest there.

In the space of the physical and spiritual heart.

Let the awareness be with whatever arises,

Knowing that it is all safely held by the practice of Yoga Nidra.

And then without effort allowing that heartfelt desire once more to arise to your mind.

And repeating your heartfelt desire,

Whatever may have arisen just bringing that back to your consciousness and repeating it three times.

Becoming aware once more now as we start to deepen the breath and begin to allow inner in the possibility that this meditation is coming to an end.

Maybe you take some deeper,

More connecting,

More life affirming breaths.

And allow that deeper breath maybe to flow through to feeling the fingers or toes moving,

Little tiny movements moving the body.

Starting to bubble up to the surface and awareness that you can hear any sounds that might be from the body out into the room,

Maybe you can hear the breath and then the sound in the room,

The sound outside the room,

The sound outside the building.

Allow yourself to gently dance with the sounds that you can pick up.

And also the,

Maybe moving your tongue in your mouth to pick up again once more the sense of taste.

All of these things reconnecting you to the space around you.

And as you breathe maybe there's a familiar smell of the room around you,

Maybe a perfume or maybe even your clothes that you can just smell to familiarise yourself with where you're lying in this moment.

And then with that little movement with the breath,

With picking up the sounds around you,

You touch the taste,

The smell.

Maybe you want to take two or three nice big deep breaths.

And with every exhale breath maybe a flutter of the eyelids to start to open the eyes.

Hariyom Tatsat,

Hariyom Tatsat,

Hariyom Tatsat.

This Yoga Nidra meditation is now at an end.

If you are continuing on maybe to bed and keeping yourself really peaceful,

Maybe you're just going to drift into sleep and if you are carrying on with the rest of your day then I wish you a beautiful rest of the day.

May peace and love be always with you.

Namaste.

Beautiful! The nature metaphors work really well for me and your voice is so very kind ...
