Pisces Nidra

This is a recording of a live Yoga Nidra session on Insight Timer on the 22nd February 2026. To celebrate the sign of Pisces, the practice includes a visualisation of becoming a fish, floating through the water, and expanding to unite with the water and with all water. There is also a body scan, awareness of the spaces between breaths, and a space to invite creative inspiration.

Apologies for the background noise, I have edited out as much as was possible and hope it isn't too distracting.

So make sure you've got everything that you need and just take some time to do whatever you need to do to make yourself as warm and as comfortable as you can possibly be. So maybe experimenting with the position that your body's in, Using your support, Your pillows, Your blankets and then once you've found your comfortable position to rest in just take a moment to appreciate how warm and safe and comfortable your body feels. Watch the flow of the breath as it comes in and as it flows out again. Notice how every breath encourages your body to relax a bit more deeply. Now bring the awareness to the space behind your eyes. Just observe the space behind the eyes. Notice what is happening behind the eyes right now. Any shapes, Colours or patterns, Perhaps just darkness. Just take a moment to observe whatever is there. Move into the ears. Just notice any sounds that are present in your environment. Let the awareness move from sound to sound without getting too involved in any one sound. Just acknowledge that those sounds are there. And know that the sounds are not going to disturb you. They can only help you to relax even more deeply.

The support of water. To carry you. To wherever you need to go. You flow with the water. As you flow with the water. Feel yourself uniting with the water.

To gently arrive at the eyebrow centre. Without forcing anything to happen. Without analysing. Just welcome whatever arrives at the eyebrow centre. If you have a sankalpa. Recall your sankalpa now. Your heart's prayer or vows. Allow it to arise naturally. However it comes for you. If you don't have one. Just keep the awareness at the heart centre. Observe the heart. Now very slowly begin to turn the awareness back outwards. Notice any sounds. That are present in your environment. Just allow the awareness to move from side to side. Just acknowledging that they're there. Feel into the feeling of your body. Resting into the surface beneath you. The feeling of the breath. Flowing in and out. Start to make some small movements with the fingers. The toes. Start to move the wrists. And the ankles. And when you're ready give yourself a big stretch. In any way that feels good for you. Taking your time. There's no rush. When you're sure that you're wide awake again. Slowly blink the eyes back open. To complete the practice.
