Inner Refuge Visualization: Coastal Maine Beach

This is a yoga nidra practice using the technique asraya, also called inner refuge or inner resource. This technique uses the mind/body connection to create a somatic sense of peace, relaxation, and well-being. During this practice, you'll be guided through breath awareness, connection to your senses, a body scan, and visualization. Finally, you'll be invited to bring your own memories and discover a personal inner refuge. The guided visualization in the recording is based on a real place - Beauchamp Point in Rockport, ME. It is the place that inspired my very first inner refuge when I was just beginning my personal yoga nidra practice. I hope you will find this place as beautiful and inspiring as I do!

Notes: female voice, ocean waves background sound during the visualization, no background music. Most background noise is edited out but you will hear birdsong.
