Welcome to this guided NSDR micro yoga nidra meditation This practice is for everyone and anyone Simply get comfortable either sitting or lying down When you're ready,

Close your eyes Enjoy a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth And again,

Inhale through the nose Exhale through the mouth Breathe in deeply,

Fill your lungs and exhale,

Let it all go Release any tension or thoughts Now,

Let yourself be Just let your body and your breath simply be Welcome to this space of effortless,

Restful awareness You are so welcome to simply be here The invitation is to notice any naturally arising sensation in your body No need to label or chase the sensation Simply notice any sensation in the body As we effortlessly guide awareness around the body notice a gentle and soothing sensation at each point that is mentioned At the top of the head,

Your effortless breath Perhaps you'll rest awareness in your belly or at your nose to observe the in and the out of breath You observe your effortless breath just as it is and it lulls you into comfort and ease As your body becomes more relaxed,
