Yoga Nidrā For The Water Element

A script I wrote with an Amrit inspiration intended to awaken the qualities of the Water element in Chinese Medicine. We begin with Sankalp (intention) then rotation of consciousness with heaviness in the back body and blue light circulation. Mental Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) Ajna (third eye) focus. Visualization meditating on a frozen lake with the snow at sunset then sinking. Enjoy! If you like my meditation please leave me a rating/review. I appreciate it!
