Good evening,
This is Jax,
And thanks so much for taking time for yourself.
Today's yoga nidra is all about letting go of any tension,
Anything you might be holding on to.
So that you can find a little bit more peace and a little bit more ease.
For this yoga nidra,
I want you to find a shape that feels so comfortable.
And grab anything that's going to make that comfort present for you tonight.
Blanket pillow eye mask even if that means you have to pause this clip do it and then come back to me.
Yoga Nidra is all about finding this deep rest.
And to move away from the thinking mind and to be in that present mindset,
The everlasting present moment,
The eternal now.
Notice what now feels like for you in the jaw.
Finding a deeper awareness of sensations in the mouth.
Notice the skin around the eyes.
Notice the space from the top of the eyebrows to the top of the skull.
Kinda like a wet sponge,
When you squeeze it,
Everything just starts to release.
So can you feel this releasing like sensation in the entirety of your face?
That's your way of telling the body and the muscles and the face to soften.
And release.
And it's okay if there's a little bit of gripping in the face or the shoulders.
You might unconsciously be gripping your thighs.
There's no judgment here.
This yoga nidra.
Is about just being.
Just being where you are in this moment.
Start to listen for any sounds you might hear other than my voice and the music in this track.
Start to notice anything you might be feeling.
Blanket,
Your jumper.
Are you wearing socks?
Can you feel the tips of your fingers and your toes?
And then can you allow all those things to be like background noise?
As you start to deepen your awareness to your breath.
Take some really slow breaths here.
And I encourage you to allow the exhale to be a little bit longer than that inhale breath.
Can you feel the breath?
Can you feel it in the belly?
The torso,
The nostrils.
And what does it feel like to just be so consumed with what's happening as you breathe?
We're going to do three rounds of the psychological side before we really start to get into the practice of yoga nutriments.
Give me one slow deep breath in.
Followed by another slow deep breath in.
And then a big exhale out the bow.
Two more times.
That breath is always there for you whenever you need it.
And then we're going to go through a body scan.
Following the guidance of my voice.
All I want you to do is listen.
And be aware of your body.
Starting with the right big toe.
Allow all your awareness to be in the right big toe.
And then allow that awareness to shift its focus onto your second toe on the right foot third toe.
Fourth row.
And pinky toe.
The sole of the right foot the arch of the foot.
The heel of the foot.
Notice sensations on the top of your right foot.
And feel that awareness going up like an escalator to your right ankle.
Front of the right knee.
Back of the knee.
The sides of the right knee the front of the thigh.
The back of the thigh.
The right loop.
Right side of the pelvis.
Right hip bone.
The right side of the waist Feel the right side of the rib cage.
Feel the breath into the right side of the lung the right collarbone right shoulder.
The right bicep.
Right elbow BORN wrist.
The right thumb.
Pointer finger.
Middle finger ring finger.
Pinky finger.
And the tips of the fingers on the right hand.
Feel that awareness shifting up the right hand.
The right arm.
Back to the right collarbone.
As your awareness crawls towards the right side of your neck.
And then notice and sense the awareness of the whole right side of the body from the neck all the way down to the tips of the toes.
Full body at rest.
Inviting a little bit more ease into the body with every breath.
Feel a softening and a releasing.
In the right side body Feel that awareness rooting down into the left big toe.
Feeling and sensing sensations alive and present in the left big toe.
Migrating the awareness to the second toe.
And the third toe.
Fourth toe.
And fifth toe.
Awareness at the sole of the left foot the heel of the foot.
The arch of the foot.
The top of the left foot.
Ankle.
Shin.
The back of the knee.
The sides of the knee.
The top of the knee.
The front of the thigh.
The back of the thigh.
The left glute.
Left side of the pelvis.
Left hip bone.
Left side of the waist.
The left side of the ribcage and sensing an expansion in the left lung every time you breathe.
The left collarbone.
Shoulder.
Bye,
Sir.
The left elbow.
Forearm.
Rest.
The left thumb.
Pointer finger.
Middle finger.
Ring finger.
And pinky finger of the left hand.
Can you sense the sensations in the left hand?
The left arm.
And once again resting at the left collarbone.
As it makes its way up the left side of the neck.
Awareness from the left side of the neck all the way down the left side of the body.
Into the toes.
And all the while.
I encourage you to invite that softening.
That letting go sensation in the body.
The mind and the breath.
And then finally,
Feel that awareness resting.
At the jaw.
The chin.
The lower lip.
And up,
Really.
Sensing the nostril flares.
Tip of the nose.
And the bridge of the nose.
In the space between the eyebrows.
In the left eye.
I would.
And all the muscles behind the left eye.
The right eye.
I would.
And all the muscles behind the right eye.
The left ear.
Earlobe.
And the folds and valleys of the left ear.
In the right ear.
Heirloom.
The folds and valleys of the right ear and then finally just feel your awareness landing at the top of your head and going deep into the muscle of the mind.
And allowing the muscle of the mind.
Peace out,
And at ease.
And feel the whole body.
Feel the whole body resting here.
Giving yourself full permission to be here in the now.
Letting everything else be background noise.
Almost as though thoughts like waves in the background.
They come and they go.
So allow things to be a little bit quieter.
Softer.
Without feeling the need to change anything,
Start to sense the breath.
Feel a fullness in the breath the steadiness in the breath.
And starting to add a bit more intention with the breath Inhaling for five.
And exhaling for 5.
But just creating an equal breadth.
Letting them be slow.
Gentle.
And then let that intentional breath just be normal without forcing or controlling.
Just letting it take on a life of its own.
All while encouraging that softness,
Peacefulness,
Groundedness.
The last step on this journey is yours.
This yoga nidra is coming to a close.
So you can either start to find a way to transition out of this or stay here a little bit longer.
Just with your breath and your body.
Biggest thing is,
Is that I hope you feel a lot of gratitude and a feeling of just being thankful for you.
It's not always easy to seek out modalities.
And yet you did.
You clicked on this recording to invite more ease and peace into your present moment.
It's never the result that matters.
It's the action you took today.
So please keep coming back to this track.
Or anything else here.
I would love if you leave me a comment to let me know how your experience was.
And I really hope to see you at another recording or video soon.
This is Jax,
And thank you for letting me join you on your journey today.
