Transcript

Hi and welcome to this meditation.

I am your guide Saqib and I will guide you through the ancient practice of yoga nidra and take you into the world of deep sleep.

We might be strangers to each other but I strongly believe that all sentient beings are intrinsically connected and are one and therefore my soul is deeply connected to your soul.

Whoever you are and wherever you are,

Just know that I love you and I intend to be of great service to you through this meditation.

You just have to lie down,

Relax and I will guide you step by step through this journey.

Let's get started then.

See if you can shift the posture of your body in a slightly more relaxed position.

Loosen and relax the part of your body which feels a bit stressed and keep your eyes open for now.

We will close them soon.

Let's first set our sankalpa or intention for having quality sleep.

I will say the words of sankalpa and either you can repeat after me in your heart or just listen to my words.

It's up to you.

I give deep rest to my mind and my body.

I give deep and soft rest to my mind and my body.

I give deep and slow rest to my mind and my body.

And now,

Find a point in your line of sight and simply gaze at that point for some time.

This point may be on the roof or a wall or even some point in the dark if you can't see the wall or the roof.

Let your gaze be a soft gaze.

Don't strain your eyes.

Loosen and relax the muscles of your eyes.

Now very gradually,

Close your eyes.

Feel the presence of your body in your surroundings starting from your feet.

Feel your feet's presence,

The air touching them.

The presence of your legs.

The presence of your pelvis region.

The presence of your stomach and lower back.

The presence of your hands and fingers.

Your arms.

Your chest and upper back.

Your neck.

The presence of your face.

And finally the top of your head.

And now,

Let's be thankful.

Many of us rarely remember to consciously thank the universe or God or collective consciousness or whatever we believe in.

So this is a good opportunity to do it.

Be thankful for whatever you wish to be.

I will be silent for a couple of minutes while you complete your thanksgiving.

Is it possible to allow only one person to receive this kind of card this year,

Your parents?

You You You Now you will bring our sankalpa into manifestation by visualizing it Visualize yourself in your imagination that you are sleeping deeply with full rest and relaxation You See that there is peace within you There is a faint smile on your face while you are sleeping The smile is due to the deep relaxation that your mind and body has achieved You feel that peace and relaxation in your mind and the whole body You feel that peace and relaxation in your mind and the whole body You feel that peace and relaxation in your mind and the whole body You feel that peace and relaxation in your mind and the whole body Imagine these thoughts as bubbles rising in front of you with each thought representing one bubble In your imagination burst or pop these bubbles of thoughts one by one with a slight touch of your finger just in your imagination It's now time to provide ultimate relaxation to the body Imagine a ring of bright white light encircling your head This ring of light is pure loving energy It is the light from the source of all creation And it will provide deep rest and relaxation to whichever part of body it moves through Move this ring of light down your face slowly towards your neck And as you move it feel it relaxing each and every part of your face Relaxing each and every part of your face As you move it further down your neck towards your navel relax each and every part of your upper body including your arms and hands You can expand and contract the size of this ring depending upon the size of the body part through which it passes Now move it from your navel towards your feet In a similar fashion move this ring upwards from your feet back to your navel Now move it from your navel to your neck including your hands and arms From your neck to the top of your head Feel this ring calming down your mind even further Now imagine this ring expanding upwards and downwards and completely encircling your body It is expanding to completely cover your body in this beautiful white light This light is your guardian angel which always takes care of you It's giving you a warm embrace of love,

Compassion,

Appreciation and care Feel and experience this embrace of love It's completely filling your body with bliss Your guardian angel has completely merged with your body and filled it completely with love The gateway to the world of sleep is through the heart So now we will journey from our mind to our heart and into a place of silence and stillness Where we will rest,

Relax and sleep deeply For this we will move our awareness from the mind to the throat to the heart and into the place of silence and stillness So bring your awareness now at the point between your eyebrows Slowly move your awareness downwards and place your awareness at your throat and the center of your neck Move your awareness further downwards and place it at the center of your chest From here we will journey inwards to a place of silence,

A place of stillness,

A place of pure being This place is deep within us Descend down to that place as I guide you I will be counting back from 10 to 1 and as I do so with each count Imagine and feel as if you are descending one step into that place of silence,

Stillness and sleep Once you reach that place of pure being,

Just relax there by simply listening to the music in the background for some time As you go deeper and deeper into the world of sleep Let's begin 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Worked like a charm as always. Fell into a deep sleep before the end. Thank you again from my heart to yours. 💕💕

I love how you tell us that we are all connected and that you love us. ♥️

Very relaxing with a deep spiritual practice too . I liked visualising the ring of light 🙏

Dear Saqib, this was an extremely well done meditation. I liked that it combined Sankulpa, gratitude, Yoga Nidra and my guardian angel's white bright light. I'm confident my sleep will come quickly and be peaceful.

With gratitude and love,

Hey, Saqib 👋🏻. I had a very anxious episode and found sleep uncharacteristically difficult for a couple days after. Eventually, I tried one of your tracks (this one), and I fell asleep about halfway through it haha. It was very sedating but also grounding. I’m very appreciative for you and your service. Thank you! 🖤
