Welcome to this I Am Yoga Nidra.
My name is Carrie Wade and I am an advanced certified I Am Yoga Nidra facilitator.
I am so happy to be here with you today to lead you through this amazing practice.
So please get comfortable.
It's best to do yoga Nidra I believe while lying down.
This can be on the floor,
On a couch,
On a recliner,
On your bed.
If you need to sit up you can certainly do so.
Just make sure your body is supremely comfortable as we will be lying still for a little bit of time here.
With yoga Nidra we go through a series of breathing and body awarenesses that lead us down into that very quiet still point where we plant an intention.
Today's attention is I Am A Clear Channel for the free flow of divine guidance.
Now close your eyes and quiet your mind.
Be still.
Let go of all thoughts,
Worry,
And tension.
Breathe in fully and exhale with a deep sigh.
And again breathe in fully and exhale with a deep sigh.
Let go even more.
Feel a deep sense of contentment and peace in your heart.
Now bring your intention into your awareness.
I Am A Clear Channel for the free flow of divine guidance.
Now allow yourself to receive this ancient prayer which captures the spirit and intention of this practice.
Lead me from the unreal to the real.
Lead me from darkness to light.
Lead me from the time-bound state of consciousness to the timeless state of me that I am.
Now bring your attention to your face.
With your next exhalation allow all expression to drop from the face.
Releasing the tiny muscles around the eyes,
Allowing the eyeballs to rest back in their sockets.
Releasing the tiny muscles around the mouth,
Tongue resting in the mouth,
Lower jaw gently opening and softening.
Allow the cheeks to soften towards the floor.
Scalp resting on the skull.
Neck softening,
Easing.
Simply be available to the entire range of sensations in the face and head.
Now drop into a space of your whole bodily presence.
Embrace this present moment's experience undistorted by what you like or don't like.
Let go of what is going.
Let come that which is coming.
This becomes your connection to Source.
Feel yourself descending down into the stillness beneath the mind.
Feel your outward attention moving inward.
Release any struggle to make anything happen.
As we enter this next phase of yoga nidra,
Remain as motionless as possible.
If you need to move or make an adjustment,
Do so mindfully and return to stillness as soon as you are able.
Resolve to remain awake,
Staying in touch with the sound of my voice.
Allow your entire body to respond to my words directly and non-mentally.
Allow any disturbances external or internal to draw you more deeply within.
In yoga nidra,
You enter the subconscious field of energy.
Let your mind merge and melt into the energy body and go beyond the boundaries of body and mind.
Now shift from thinking and doing to feeling and being.
Do absolutely nothing from now on.
Simply relax.
Drop into the deepest state of tranquility,
Stillness,
And peace.
Now your consciousness is in direct communion with the energy body.
Now follow my guidance as we begin the relaxation breath.
Breathing in deeply,
Fill your lungs from the bottom to the top as if you were filling a water bottle.
As you breathe out,
Empty your lungs from the top to the bottom.
Let your breath be slow and steady.
Observe the movement in your abdomen and chest.
Stay connected to the wonderful feeling of the release of tension and the deep feeling of relaxation.
Let this feeling extend to every part of the body.
Let this entire process of breathing be the vehicle for deepening your relaxation.
Now redirect your full attention to the breath.
Create no struggle around breathing.
Use the breath to release any tension.
Slowly deepen your inhalations and exhalations.
Let the exhalation be longer than the inhalation.
Let the flow of your breath be steady and uniform as much as possible.
Bring your undivided attention to the movement of your abdomen and chest as you breathe in and out.
With each breath out,
Release any tension held in the body and anticipations in your mind.
Let go.
With each breath in,
Fill every nerve and cell with pulsating healing energy.
Relax.
Breathing out,
Let go of holding anywhere in your body and then let go even more.
With the next breath in,
Visualize your body renewed and revitalized with new life.
Empty your body and mind and enter deeper levels of stillness and silence.
Now breathe normally and be still.
Bring your total attention to the pulsating energy field felt in the form of sensations in your body.
Observe how your attention feeds the expansion of the pulsating energy.
Energy follows attention.
Feel all the tension in your mind and tightness in your muscles melt away.
Let all the attention simply melt,
Drain away and dissolve in the expanding energy field.
Bring your attention to the eyebrow center,
The third eye.
Recognize your deep connection to the original source of life force,
The life energy that sustains your life and is an extension of your soul.
Experience silence extending everywhere.
Enter an effortless state of being.
Follow my guidance as we move through different parts of the body.
Let your attention rest on each body part as I name it without comment or judgment.
All ten toes,
Both ankles,
Both knees,
Pelvis,
Abdomen,
Chest,
Arms,
Throat,
Face,
Back of head,
Shoulder blades,
Spine,
Buttocks,
Calves,
Heels,
Soles of the feet.
Sense the whole body from the top of the head to the tips of the toes.
Whole body,
Whole body in awareness.
Feel the whole body contained in vast spacious awareness.
Feel yourself open and allowing,
Steady and centered.
Rest back empty like a blue sky,
Pure capacity for experience to move through.
Every cloud that comes eventually goes.
As the sky,
You can let it come and let it go.
You know this place.
It is the part of you that can never be diminished or destroyed.
Pure,
Steady,
Timeless,
Like the sky itself.
Rest here.
Recognize that whatever has happened in your life has already gone,
Already passed.
You are here.
Just be here in this moment.
At this time,
Allow the wisdom of the body to release what it no longer needs.
You don't need to hold it anymore.
Give it to the sky to hold for you.
Your life experience has the power to help you become who you were meant to be.
You already have what you need.
Let this knowingness permeate every part of the body,
Sending an ever expanding sense of peace throughout.
Bring your attention to the center between your eyebrows.
And drop into the deepest level of relaxation.
Here there remains nothing to do or achieve.
You have entered the domain of grace.
In this domain of integration,
You are witness to all that is happening,
But doing nothing to make it happen.
All that cannot be done by your doing can happen only in the non-doing presence of your being.
Feel completely safe and comfortable as you hand yourself over to the power and protection of the presence.
Feel it,
Experience it,
Be it.
Hand over all fear,
Apprehension,
And anxiety about all that you want to change,
Control,
Or manage.
Let go of all doing.
Replace it with trust and faith in the higher power.
Let your mind merge and melt into the presence and enter the sanctuary of silence.
Remain empty and free from all doing.
Feel yourself as time transcendent presence right now.
ΠΠΎΠ΄ Now bring your intention into your awareness.
I am a clear channel for the free flow of divine guidance.
I am a clear channel for the free flow of divine guidance.
I am a clear channel for the free flow of divine guidance.
Allow this intention to go to the deepest levels of recognition with no hesitation.
Know that your higher self recognizes,
Honors,
And accepts your intention.
Have faith and trust that it has been heard and is being acted upon by a higher power of the source within you.
There is no need for you to do anything about it.
Bring your attention back to the center between the eyebrows and feel all the energies of your body from all meridians,
Activated,
Purified,
Balanced.
All channels are open and the life force is flowing freely,
Healing the body and calming the mind.
Open your heart and feel content.
Just experience.
Allow your entire self to respond spontaneously and effortlessly to what I say.
I trust an abundant universe to fulfill my needs.
I feel the love,
Light,
And grace that has always surrounded me.
In silent witness,
I am at peace in the middle of chaos.
I am stillness in action.
I remain changeless in the midst of change.
I remain free from all of life's struggles and I shift into the next level of consciousness.
Establish yourself firmly in faith and trust to receive the grace,
Protection,
And guidance of the higher self within you.
The more often you go to your source,
The easier it will be to return there and longer you can stay.
Feel the presence of your own spiritual guides surrounding you,
Blessing you.
Accept their blessing and grace.
Embody it and spread it everywhere you go.
Now you have prepared the base from where you can carry out interactions with life and interpersonal relationships with the integrative power of love and the source within.
You are the emissary of light and love.
Carry it everywhere you go and to everyone you meet.
If you have an area that you feel needs healing,
Physical,
Mental,
Or emotional,
Allow this light and love to flow into that area now.
Now begin to return.
Slowly feel yourself rising to the surface of awareness.
Become aware of the rising and falling of the breath.
Sense the quality of the air as it touches your skin.
Gradually you can move as if you are waking from a restful sleep.
Gently turn onto your right side and curl into a fetal position.
Take your time.
Do not hurry.
Feel the safety,
Comfort,
And protection of the womb of existence.
Bring your intention into your awareness once again.
I am a clear channel for the free flow of divine guidance.
Every time you find yourself in reaction,
You are empowered to replace it with your intention.
Now you can gradually move and begin to sit up with your eyes closed.
Continue to stay deep in this deep inner experience.
Regardless of what you consciously recognize that has or has not changed,
Know that something deep within has shifted to connect you with your intention.
Become aware of your body and bring a deep sense of peace and contentment with you as you bring attention back to your body.
Notice how relaxed the body is.
How soft the breath is.
How silent the mind is.
How quiet the heartbeat is.
Be still and be grateful.
Know that you can enter here again and again.
Now you may gradually open your eyes.
Thank you for sharing this experience with me and I bid you jai bhagwa,
Victory to the spirit.
