Hello friend,

This is Jax,

Your Yoga Nidra teacher,

And I'm so happy that you're listening to this Yoga Nidra recording for you to restore your energy and bring you back to a place where you feel renewed and refreshed.

So go ahead and get really comfortable here.

Yoga Nidra is done lying down,

So take this time in the beginning to get set up.

For me,

I always love having something over the eyes.

This allows me to go deeper into stillness,

And I love having something under my knees to support the room back.

You can be in bed,

You can have a blanket over you,

Get anything you need.

It's so important to find your space of stillness at the beginning so you can really enjoy the journey that we're gonna go on together.

Gently close down the eyes as we start to bring the awareness to the breath,

And feel your breath in your body.

Notice the rhythm of your breath.

Where do you sense this regular repeated pattern of movement,

Rhythm?

Where do you feel the breath being repeated in the body?

Is it in the rise and fall of your abdomen?

Do you feel the belly rise and flatten with every breath?

Do you feel it in the chest?

Do you feel it at the nostrils?

Simply start to notice the rhythm of your breath.

Maybe you start to sense your breath as a sound.

Can you hear yourself breathing in this moment?

And really allow yourself to fully come into this experience of you breathing.

Soften and settle into your body's natural rhythms,

And allow the breath to travel through the body,

Observing the vibration of breath,

And feel that breath start to activate your cells.

Every day billions of cells are being destroyed and created,

And millions of connections are being made.

And know that by being here in this yoga neutral,

You're choosing to create new connections.

Let's take three deep sign breaths to go deeper into comfort,

And in a moment we're gonna inhale twice through the nose,

And exhale out the mouth.

Inhale,

Exhale,

Inhale,

Exhale,

Inhale,

Exhale.

I invite you to turn the corners of your mouth into a smile,

Or maybe you don't feel called to.

Maybe instead you visualize a smile on your face,

Or you see the smile of somebody you love.

You just take this moment to linger in this smile.

Now start to soften the jaw.

Unhinge the jaw.

Feel the sides of the cheeks grow heavy as they soften,

And relax even more.

What does relaxation feel like in the whole face,

From the forehead to the eyebrows to the eyelids?

And what does relaxation feel like in the body?

What does it feel like to relax your shoulders,

Your stomach,

Your thighs,

Your knees,

Your ankles,

Even your feet?

The toes spread and soften.

What does it feel like to give yourself that permission of relaxation?

And start to feel your mind quiet,

And bring the focus on the body.

Be still and soft,

And feel your thoughts releasing every breath.

Feel tension releasing with every breath.

And it's almost like you can imagine your body is like a balloon,

And you're slowly deflating the body.

You're slowly letting the body release,

Feeling completely supported by the surface beneath you,

And any other props around you to bring you into a state of ease and relaxation so you can restore your energy.

Take a moment here to notice the sounds in the room.

Simply listening without creating a narrative of what you hear,

And starting to really step more into an observer role here.

So just take that moment to notice the sounds in the room.

Now begin to let go of the noises around you,

And shift your attention from outside to inside yourself.

That's what this practice is all about,

Is going inward on our journey.

And we're going to set an intention,

A sankopa,

For your journey today.

And this is going to be a simple,

Positive I Am statement.

So my question for you for today's practice is,

What matters most to you today?

And take a couple of breaths to linger in the question of what matters most to you today.

Maybe that's rest,

Maybe that's restoring your energy.

Whatever the intention is,

We're going to turn that into that I Am statement.

That way you are affirming what you feel,

And you're really embodying it.

And it could be,

I am relaxed and open to receive nourishment.

Whatever your intention is,

I want you to silently repeat it to yourself three times to really affirm what matters most to you today.

You can let that intention fade as we start to move on to a body scan.

And during this body scan,

I'll guide your attention to different parts of your physical body.

There's no need for effort here or to make anything happen.

Simply allow yourself to rest in the awareness of yourself and be with sensations.

And these sensations might include buzzing or tingling,

Pressure,

Tightness,

Temperature,

Or anything else you notice.

And if you don't notice any strong sensations or things just feel neutral,

That's perfect and okay.

You can simply notice that too.

There are no right answers.

We're simply just tuning into what's present.

Now bring your awareness to the tip of your right thumb,

Tip of the index finger on the right hand,

Tip of the middle finger,

Tip of the ring finger,

Tip of the pinky finger.

Allow sensations to arise in the whole right hand,

In the back of the palm,

Front of the palm,

The right wrist,

Forearm,

Elbow,

Bicep,

Shoulder,

The right side of the chest,

Collarbone,

Awareness flowing up the chest to the right side of the neck,

And landing on the whole right side of the face,

Starting at the hinges of the jaw,

The right cheek,

Cheekbone,

Temple,

Right eyebrow,

Eyelid,

And all the muscles behind the right eye.

And allow your focus to move to the center of the eyebrow and the bridge of the nose,

Tip of the nose,

Air flowing out the right nostril,

Air flowing out the left nostril,

And both nostrils illuminated with sensations in the upper lip,

Lower lip,

The space in between the lips and the tongue,

Inside the throat,

Center of the chest,

The right side of the waist,

Right hip,

Glute,

Front and back of the thighs,

In the right kneecap,

Shin,

Ankle,

Heel of the foot,

Sole of the foot,

In the right big toe,

Second toe,

Third toe,

Fourth toe,

And fifth toe,

And the whole right side of the body,

Sense the whole right side of the body from the top of the head to the sole of the right foot,

The whole right side of the body alive,

Alert,

And aware,

All without effort,

All sensations happening organically.

And allow the right side to drop away as you invite your awareness to travel to the left side of the body,

Starting at the left big toe,

Second toe,

Third toe,

Fourth toe,

Fifth toe,

The sole of the foot,

Heel of the foot,

Ankle,

Shin,

The left kneecap,

Front and back of the thighs,

Glute,

Left hip,

Left side of the waist,

Tip of the left thumb,

Tip of the index finger,

Tip of the middle finger,

Tip of the ring finger,

And tip of the pinky finger.

And allow sensations to arise in the whole left hand,

In the back of the palm,

Front of the palm,

Wrist,

Forearm,

Elbow,

Bicep,

Shoulder,

And the left side of the chest,

Collarbone.

And allow your awareness to flow up the chest to the left side of the neck and landing on the left side of the face,

Starting at the hinges of the jaw,

The left cheek,

Cheekbone,

Temple,

Left eyebrow,

Eyelid,

And all the muscles behind the left eye.

And bring your full awareness to the whole left side of the body.

Allow your attention to be filled with the whole left side of the body.

And now fill your whole body together here in space.

Let your awareness be with your whole body and let this time be uninterrupted time to reflect.

Let this time be to restore your energy to fill you up.

And start to notice your breath without changing it or needing it to be different.

Let it be natural.

Let it do what it does easily and effortlessly.

Now take a long slow deep breath in and take a long slow deep breath out.

Take a couple more like this,

All breathing in and out of the nose.

And allow this breath to really nourish you.

And bring your awareness to your nose,

Bringing awareness and sensations from the bridge of the nose down to the tip of your nose.

And allow your focus to land in your right nostril.

Notice the air flowing in the right nostril.

Be aware of the quality of the breath as it comes into your right nostril.

And allow yourself to become completely submerged in the experience of air flowing out the right nostril.

And now allow your awareness to glide over to the left nostril,

Noticing the air flowing in the left nostril.

Be aware the quality of the breath as it comes into your left nostril.

And allow yourself to become completely submerged in the experience of air flowing out the left nostril.

To restore energy in the body,

We're gonna breathe into one nostril and then breathe out of the other nostril and do several rounds like this,

All with the intention of restoring energy into the body.

And we'll start with the left nostril.

Take an exhale out the left nostril.

Inhale into the left nostril for one,

Two,

Three.

Hold the breath.

Exhale out the right nostril for three,

Two,

One.

Inhale into the right nostril for one,

Two,

Three.

Hold the breath.

Exhale out the left nostril for three,

Two,

One.

Inhale into the left nostril for one,

Two,

Three.

Hold the breath.

Exhale out the right nostril for three,

Two,

Inhale into the right nostril for one,

Hold the breath.

Exhale out the left nostril for three,

Two,

One.

Inhale into the left nostril for one,

Two,

Hold the breath.

Exhale out the right nostril for three,

Two,

One.

Inhale into the right nostril for one,

Two,

Three.

Hold the breath.

Exhale out the left nostril for three,

Two,

One.

Let that breathing pattern fade away and allow yourself to simply observe your experience with your breath,

With your body.

Let your attention expand to the entire body as a whole,

Bringing your awareness from the top of your head down to the bottom of your toes.

And feel the gentle rhythm of breath as it moves through the body effortlessly and organically.

And now come back to your intention,

The one you cultivated at the beginning of your journey,

And silently internally repeat it to yourself three times.

And take these last few breaths here to really feel your intention,

Letting it grow with every breath,

Knowing that you've taken the time today with intention to restore your energy and give you this time to fill up your cup so that you can feel nourished,

Supported,

And relaxed.

And now counting from five to one using the breath.

Inhaling five,

Exhaling five,

Inhaling four,

Exhaling four,

Inhaling three,

Exhaling three,

Inhaling two,

Exhaling two,

Inhaling one,

Exhaling one.

Take a deep breath in and a deeper breath out,

Maybe taking this last moment to once again bring a smile to your face,

Always staying in that space of love and joy,

Even as our yoga nidra practice has come to an end.

To start to wake the body up you can wiggle your fingers,

Your toes,

Maybe nod the head side to side,

Full body stretch,

And know that this yoga nidra practice has come to an end.
