Truth: Yoga Nidra For Balancing The Vishuddha Chakra

This is a relaxing and nourishing NSDR yoga nidra practice focused on creating balance within the throat chakra, using the Sankalpa, "I express myself with clarity and authenticity."

The purpose of yoga nidra is to weave awareness through the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind in order to reinforce patterns that exist or create new ones through neuroplasticity while obtaining a deeper understanding of the self. The chakras are seven main energetic channels aligning the spine in the subtle body. Balancing the chakras allows space for prana, or energy, to flow within the body, promoting overall health and well-being in all aspects.

Let's start by getting comfortable.

Lay yourself down on your mat or bed.

Cover your body with a blanket and support your head with a pillow.

Sometimes it's nice to use an eyepillow to cover your eyes or socks to keep your feet warm.

Take some time to make yourself cozy.

Allow your body to get the wiggles out.

Once you feel comfortable,

Let your palms face upwards and lay on the sides of your body or you can place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly.

Make sure you are not touching anything or anyone else.

Let your eyes close or relax and begin to soften the muscles around your eyes.

Allow the softness to transfer to the space in between your eyebrows.

Release the personality from your face.

Release it again.

Clench your jaw,

Allowing your lips to separate naturally.

Let your breath continue to move naturally.

Observe the sounds around you,

Specifically outside of the space you're in.

Allow your mind to travel from one sound to the other without any form of attachment.

Just witnessing what you hear.

Then hone your attention to the sounds you hear within the space you're in.

Continue to float from sound to sound as the observer.

Now refine your awareness to the sounds within yourself.

Listen to the sound of your heart beating,

The sound of your breath entering and exiting your lungs.

Allow your awareness to move even further inward to the less obvious sounds of your body and from the center of your being.

Allow your sankalpa or intention to come forward.

Repeat to yourself,

I express myself with clarity and authenticity.

Let your consciousness sit with this and continue to repeat it with your mind.

Feel the vibration of every word.

Allow it to illuminate your entire being,

Growing in intensity with each repetition.

Allow every cell to feel your sankalpa glow within you.

Feel the aliveness of your entire body.

Imagine your body as a warm white light,

Glowing and luminous.

Then bring all the energy of the warm white light into the awareness of your right hand.

You may not feel anything at all and that's okay too.

And allow the warm white light to descend to your feet.

Specifically,

The soles of both feet,

Rising to both heels,

Calves,

The back of both knees,

Shining on your tailbone and sacrum.

Allow the white light to move gently up your spine,

Allow the warm white light to shine through your heart center,

Continuing to ignite your right side ribcage and left side ribcage.

Feel the glimmer of warm white light in your belly.

Become aware of the rise and fall of breath in your belly.

Your life force.

We'll begin to count the breath backwards,

Starting at the number seven.

Each inhale and exhale.

We'll constitute one cycle of breath,

And you'll count seven cycles backwards,

From seven down to one.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Seven.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Six.

And if you lose count or finish early,

Just go back and start over at seven.

Let go of count wherever you are,

And find a state of neutral.

Remember a time when you felt limited.

Allow this memory to transform into a physical sensation in your body.

What do you notice?

How does your body respond to a feeling of restriction?

Where does the sensation form in your body?

How is your breath influenced by a feeling confined or stuck?

Your heartbeat?

Wetness?

And then let go.

Call on a feeling of liberation.

Remember a time when you felt completely free.

Where do you feel this in your body?

What sensations form through this feeling of being unbound?

What shape does it take?

How does your breath respond to being liberated?

Do you feel it in your heart?

Your fingertips?

Your mind?

Observe yourself.

Allow your awareness to travel back to your Third Eye Center and find neutrality.

Let the influence of both limitation and liberation dissolve.

Reset yourself so that you do not feel a pull in either direction.

And from this place,

Imagine the smell of eucalyptus in a steam room and making blueberry pancakes on a Sunday morning.

The feeling of singing in the shower.

An open sky.

A circle within an inverted triangle within another circle.

Wearing wireless headphones.

A music box playing a lullaby.

A microphone stand made of fruit.

A castle sitting on acres of green meadow.

A castle sitting on acres of green meadow.

A castle sitting on acres of green meadow.

Imagine yourself at a party in front of a castle.

Sitting on acres of green meadow.

A clear blue sky above.

You're dressed in a swanky outfit that precisely expresses your style.

Bubbly drinks and hors d'oeuvres are being passed around to all the guests.

You hear the music of an orchestra playing with gusto.

The tall torched flames bordering the base of the castle dance with the rhythm being played.

Strong statues edge the top of the castle as if watching the guests from above.

Ensuring a good time is had by all.

An announcement is made for the party to make their way inside the castle so you and the group you're with begin to walk towards the entrance.

As you come closer,

The vibrations of the orchestra echo louder with each step.

You can feel the rhythm in your bones.

The vibrations of the strings,

Woodwind,

Brass,

And percussion instruments are so different,

Coming together as one.

As you greet the castle entrance,

You and the other partygoers file in and fill two sweeping staircases lining both sides of the entrance.

You look around and see every inch of wall inside the castle painted with the most angelic murals.

The intricate,

Arching architecture climbs for what feels like miles.

Before coming together at the apex of the ceiling where a massive circle opening spills light into the room.

In the center of the room,

In between the staircases,

A violin starts to play.

The sound vibrates throughout the muraled walls of the castle entrance as if the angels in the paintings had come alive,

Echoing yet intimate.

And soon another sound starts to join the violin,

A pure ethereal voice joins in.

The resonance of the two sounds reverberates throughout your body as if cleansing your being,

Softening,

Opening.

You and the other guests begin to join in singing the sound of the group reverberating throughout the entire castle.

And as you continue singing along with the group,

You hear your sankalpa in the lyrics and the sound of the words pulsate throughout the room.

I express myself with clarity and authenticity.

The song comes to an end naturally,

And the castle is flooded with stillness.

You and the rest of the guests start to walk through the castle towards the very back where two expansive doors open up to a strong statue ascending over an intricate water fountain.

A red carpet blankets the grass,

Making a path towards the structure.

Members of the orchestra line the carpet,

Playing harmoniously as you continue to walk the path.

The water of the fountain dances to the rhythm being played.

A clear blue sky hovers above.

And as you continue to walk and listen to the music,

Start to invite a more spacious breath into your lungs.

Find more length with each inhale and exhale.

Start to awaken your body by wiggling your fingers and toes,

Coming back into this space you're in slowly and carefully.

Roll yourself over to one side.

Let your body melt for one more breath.

Use your arms to guide yourself back up to a seated position,

Keeping your eyelids closed.

Draw your palms together to meet at your heart center.

Take one deep inhale and exhale.

Release your chin down.

Thank you for practicing with me.

Go in peace.

Www.

Mooji.
