Welcome to your practice of yoga nidra.
Gather any props that you need to support your form completely as your body takes the shape of shavasana.
Arms widen,
Palms up.
Toes fall open,
Feet hip width or mat width apart.
Adjust the shoulders,
Lengthen the tailbone.
And we'll come into the breath to assist the body into settling.
Gather the inhale from soles of feet,
Rising up the body,
Spine and holding the breath at the top of the head.
Exhale out the mouth,
Watch the breath move back down.
You can ha,
Sigh,
Empty and feel the spine settle on the exhale.
Again,
Inhale,
Gather soles of feet,
Palms,
Spine,
Crown,
Hold.
Exhale.
All,
Any contraction or holding exits,
Hands,
Feet.
Again.
Slowing the breath,
Awareness moving through your whole being.
One more breath.
Collecting all tension and on the exhale,
All thoughts dissolve.
Release the breath and let the breath breathe you.
Choose to do nothing from now on.
Drop into non-doing awareness.
Witnessing sensation.
Witnessing sensation.
Through feeling,
We release all doing and access being.
Welcome this experience.
Release all preference that may draw you out of this unique experience of yoga nidra.
This moment new,
Alive.
As you step into yoga nidra,
You step into sacred territory.
Choose to see any distraction.
Thoughts,
Sounds,
Any discomfort to be an opportunity to deepen your practice.
To awaken fully to your connection to source.
Allow the inner ear to expand.
Listening.
Some sounds familiar.
Other sounds unique.
Listening and holding on to less and less of what you hear.
Dropping deeper into relaxation and ease.

Forehead and eyes.
This is the place of your conceptual imagination unlimited.
The place of Chitakasha as if staring at a blank screen will the images that I name through your imagination.
See yourself on a winter evening sitting on the bank of a lake,
Sunsetting,
Snow falling.
You watch the snowflakes descend from the sky and collect on the surface of the lake.
So slow,
Gentle and quiet,
The snow falling.
As the sun is setting,
The sky's various colors are reflecting on the surface of the lake.
You watch how the flakes accumulate on the surface and the snowflakes begin to form a frozen surface.
You are called to step onto the surface of the frozen lake,
Hesitant.
You place one foot and surprised that it holds your weight.
You walk ever so gently to the center of the lake and you have a seat.
In a meditative seat,
You allow the snowflakes to fall on the surface of your skin and accumulate on your body,
Your hair,
Making tiny icicles.
You feel the icicles on your eyebrows,
Your nostrils,
The cold,
Peaceful,
The evening silent.
The night approaches and unsure of how long you've been seated on the surface of the lake,
You start to hear that the surface of the lake is cracking.
Without any fear,
You feel the surface of the lake begin to break apart the ice and you slowly start sinking.
The water frigid,
But you allow your body to sink,
Sinking in to the water deeper until there's no way to distinguish the water or the night sky.
You settle into the depth of your silent,
Still truth and rest there.
Toxicity feedM Let your mind merge and melt into the water.
Let your mind merge and melt into the presence and enter the sanctuary of silence.
In this silence you have entered the domain of grace.
If there is an area of your body that needs healing,
Physical,
Mental,
Emotional or energetic healing,
Send your attention,
Light and love to that area now.
Let your mind merge and melt into the presence and enter the sanctuary of silence.
Satsang with Mooji Satsang with Mooji Satsang with Mooji Satsang with Mooji Satsang with Mooji Satsang with Mooji Feeling your body lying on the floor.
There is no rush.
Allow your breath to slowly begin to deepen.
Your senses externalize.
You just begin to visualize the room around you,
The walls,
The ceiling as your breath moves through your whole body.
And your breath will start to move your body slow.
You might just wiggle your fingers,
Toes,
You might stretch or hug your knees into your chest.
And we'll eventually meet in a fetal position to the right.
Taking your time to make your way to seated facing the front.
You can rub your hands together practicing a little bit of palming by creating warmth and energy in your hands.
And then scooping your eyes,
Fingers above your eyebrows and just feeling the pleasant sensation of your own touch.
Take a full breath in.
And a full breath out.
And then just bring the palms to the soles of the feet,
Connecting your roots.
Take a full breath in.
And a full breath out.
And we'll close with the Shanti Mantra that I recited to you in Shavasana.
So first hands to the heart.
We'll Ah-Oo-N long,
Just one time.
Exhale.
Breathe in.
So this peace prayer,
The first word,
Sarvesham for all.
And then the last word Bhavatthu,
May there be,
Stays the same.
It's just the middle word that changes.
Svasthir,
Prosperity.
Shanthir,
You probably know that piece.
Purnam,
Fullness.
Mangalam,
Auspiciousness.
So repeat after me.
Sarvesham,
Shavasthir,
Bhavatthu.
Sarvesham,
Purnam,
Havasthu.
And Shanti together.
Hands in prayer,
Thumbs to the eyebrow center,
Collecting all our offerings,
The sound of all our voice hearts.
Honoring the tradition of yoga and the sacred space shared.
We say Namaste.
So cross the thumbs and the hands face you.
So one palm is on top of the other.
The hands go to the chest for the Eagle Mudra.
Jai,
Praise the flow that guides you,
Your heart,
Your spirit.
May you listen and let it guide you.
We say Jaya-o-flow.
Jaya-o-flow.
Thank you.
Thank you.
