So hopefully you're in a space where you can relax your body.

I always say with meditation it's great to be lying down,

Particularly initially when you are a beginner.

What's quite useful to have is an eye pillow over your eyes because that can take you into meditation quicker and help you relax quicker.

But it's also really important to be comfortable,

So making sure that your space is comfortable.

And it's taking time to make some adjustments.

Just check that your head is supported and the heavy parts of the body are supported.

If you're lying flat,

That your heels are supported and maybe at the back of the knees if you suffer with achy low back,

You can just take a knee support.

So if you're a beginner with visualising guided meditation,

You might find that visualisation works for you,

Which is a mental picture of what I'm describing throughout the whole of the meditation.

Or you might be a sensory person,

So in your mind's eye or in the sense of the body you can actually feel the meditation and the sensations in the body from the touching and hearing and seeing and smelling sense.

But also you might be somebody who works with touch,

So when we do certain aspects of the meditation you might find that it's good to visualise somebody else touching those parts of your body so that you can connect.

Some people respond to visualising touch rather than actually having to visualise those parts of the body themselves.

So whatever really works for you,

It's really just letting go of any efforting and being willing to be led.

Yoga Nidya is very much about spontaneity and about just bringing awareness to the journey of meditation and also the body.

Any tensions arise that make you fidget or adjust,

That's actually quite good in some ways that you don't always have to be completely still and adjustments sometimes can mean that you just stay in the zone between wakefulness and sleeping.

But don't worry if you do fall asleep.

So let's begin.

As you lie on your back and you bring your body into a relaxing position and making sure that the joints at the elbows and the knees are supported particularly.

And just taking some breaths.

Just allow the breath to enter and leave the body in its own subtle way.

So whatever you've been doing today or you are during this day wherever you happen to be,

This is a wonderful opportunity to press pause or prepare yourself for bed.

Just simply allow the body to be in whatever condition it's in today,

This evening.

And even the emotional body and the mental body,

We're all aspects of various bodies whether they be physical or subtle and we always show up in all of our colours at any time of the day.

Bringing your awareness to your natural breath and just become aware that you're breathing in the right way.

Just for this next couple of minutes just focus on the in-breath only.

The feel of the in-breath,

The touch of the in-breath.

Is the breath cool or is it warm?

Does it feel that it's entering the body smoothly or does it feel like there's a little bit of effort really just noticing the in-breath?

How does it feel to receive the in-breath into your body in this moment,

In this day,

And now shift your concentration just to the out-breath.

How does it feel to breathe out?

Where does the breath touch?

Is the out-breath warmer than the in-breath?

Is it smooth or does the out-breath feel more like a sigh?

Just noticing,

Just the out-breath,

The feeling,

The sense of touch of the out-breath.

And now concentrate both on the in-breath and the out-breath.

Focus the point at which the in-breath meets the out-breath.

And where the out-breath meets the in-breath.

Be aware of this beautiful cycle of flow both in and out.

This beautiful gift of prana,

Life force,

Powers your very being.

The gift of love from the universe that is the breath.

Breathing in,

Breathing out.

And be aware I am practicing yoga neutral.

I am practicing yoga neutral,

I am practicing yoga neutral,

Which is the form of awareness.

Bringing your attention now to the attention of an intention for your week.

Maybe it's a simple intention to have less fear,

Maybe go with the flow,

Maybe to relax a little more.

Maybe even to create moments of luxury like that wonderful space to sit and drink a coffee undisturbed or just look out into nature.

Making your intention for your week three times,

Whatever might subtly arise.

Bringing your attention now to the physical body,

To the rotation of consciousness around the body.

So whatever works for you,

Whether you want to see that part of the body in your mind's eye as a visual or you want to sense that there is a touch from maybe another friend or a family member on that part of the body.

Or maybe you are a sensory person and you will just feel that part of the body.

Be aware I am practicing yoga nidra.

I am practicing yoga nidra.

I am practicing yoga nidra which is the form of awareness.

Visualizing now a white light and this light is a healing light.

I am taking this healing light to the left and the right hemispheres of your brain and imagine that the electrical circuitry in the brain is all completely healed and even.

And taking that healing light to the left eye and right eye that have strong balanced vision and the healing light to the left ear and the right ear so that you have good and clear hearing.

And taking that healing light into the mouth and the throat and down into the stomach.

This healing light repairs anything that might be out of whack and not healthy in the stomach,

The liver,

The pancreas,

The gallbladder.

Seeing this healing light healing anything that might be in balance in the filtration system of the body,

The digestive system of the body.

And taking this light into the lungs and into your bloodstream and into your heart,

Repairing anything that might be out of balance and needing healing.

And taking that healing light down into the intestines all the way through into the colon,

Healing anything that might be in balance in the digestive system.

Taking that healing light into the pelvis and the bloodstream in the legs and the connective tissue around the muscles and the bones and the ligaments and the tendons between the bones and the muscles and between the bones and the joints and all of the joints in the body,

The fingers and the toes,

Wrists and the elbows,

Knees and hips and shoulders.

And a healing light running through each vertebra in your spine,

Healing anything that might be out of balance,

Healing any ailments or illnesses,

Both energetic and physical.

And see the body full of healing light and the soft tissue in the muscles and the bones and all of the connective tissue and even in every single cell of your body.

With the breath you breathe into the body,

Into the cells,

Even through the skin,

This healing balm.

And feel the body in your mind's eye,

Free of pain,

Free of disease,

Free of imbalance,

Imperfection.

And visualising all of the systems in the body,

The physiology,

The temperature control,

The digestion,

The respiration,

Elimination,

All being in perfect balance.

And allow that natural breath to bring and restore the balance to the body and the mind and the emotions.

And be aware,

I am practising Yoga Nidra.

I am practising Yoga Nidra.

I am practising Yoga Nidra which is the form of awareness.

And bring your attention now back to the body and feeling the touch of the body where you're resting.

The breath that naturally comes in and goes out with your own intimate rhythm,

The rhythm of your physiology,

The rhythm of your body,

The rhythm of you in relation to life.

So bringing your awareness now back to the intention that you made for this week.

And allow the words of that intention to bubble to the surface and just repeat that intention in your mind's internal space three times.

And then release that intention so that it might manifest for you this week.

And now begin to bring yourself back from this meditative space.

So if you're continuing on,

If you're in the UK,

To bed,

I hope you have a restful sleep.

If you want to externalise your awareness a bit more,

Then start to become aware of the sounds around you.

That might be sound of your breath close to the body,

Might be the random sounds in the room or outside the building.

And begin to stir the body,

Just gentle movements of the fingers and toes.

Maybe even walking the feet back up in the space that you are lying in and bring your knees up to your chest.

And if you are continuing on to bed,

Then just keeping yourself in a really peaceful space without social media or without anything to distract you as you head towards bed.

Maybe some water before you head to bed.

If you're continuing on for the rest of your day,

Then become aware of the sense of smell and taste and really feel that any movement is connecting you to the space that you're lying in.

And taking some time to really fully externalise yourself from the meditation with gentle opening of the eyes,

Continuing to hear the sounds and feel the touch of your body against wherever you're lying.

So the end of this meditation,

Hari Om Tat Sat,

Hari Om Tat Sat,

Hari Om Tat Sat.

This healing Yoganidra meditation is now at an end.

May peace,

Love and happiness be always with you.

Namaste.

Thank you Gina,this was inspiring.

I did this practise in the middle of the day and it was relaxing and refreshing.🙏

Thank you

Really great and helpful! Thank you so much for this meditation 🌄🧘🏻‍♀️🏞

Thank you 🙏

I like the description of the different ways that people can sense the energy flowing like touch. Very healing.

Wonderful guidance, messaging, and voice. I found the lower piano notes a bit jarring at first but as the meditation went on I realized my body was completely relaxed while my mind was alert but calm, which I think is the goal of Yoga Nidra. I rarely achieve it because I usually fall asleep. So this meditation accomplished what others could not—I stayed wakeful and reaped the benefits. Thank you so much, Gina. I will add this to my playlist and look for others you’ve done. 🙏🏻💚

Thank you! It was absolutely lovely 😊
