Hello.
Welcome.
I'm so excited you're here today.
We're going to be focusing on the heart chakra,
Anahata.
This chakra holds the center of love,
Empathy,
And compassion.
Anahata means unstruck sound in Sanskrit and is represented by the element air and the color green.
For this yoga nidra session,
I invite you to find a comfortable position either sitting up or laying on your back.
Find a place where you can have no interruptions for the remainder of the session.
Take time to wiggle around a little bit and find a comfortable position where you can be at rest and settle into stillness.
As you're getting yourself comfortable and finding a place of stillness,
I'm going to explain a little bit about the heart chakra.
When your heart chakra is open and flowing freely,
Others can fill your love and warmth.
They feel loved and accepted unconditionally.
People fill up peace around you.
You are also kind and loving to yourself.
You take care of yourself.
You know when you need to say no and respect yourself.
You nurture and care for yourself.
Like love,
Air surrounds and sustains us in this life.
Anahata is the chakra of positive energy connecting the lower chakras to the higher ones.
When it is opened fully,
The heart chakra becomes a channel for universal compassion,
Our true self.
It is here in this space that we invite the infinite love to flow through us,
Allowing it to heal ourselves and others.
So find another moment to just get still.
Take any type of movement that is necessary to get any other places within your body that desires to be moved,
Noticed,
And witnessed,
And release and relax even more.
Connecting to your breath,
Relaxing,
Releasing,
Allowing for this moment of serenity and pure connection to self.
We will be continuing to connect and learn about the heart as we move through this Yoga Nidra session.
If at any time you need to pause and find that you are not able to fully go through the Yoga Nidra session,
That's fine.
Just come back and return or fully return to the beginning of the Yoga Nidra session and repeat.
You will find that you will have been able to actually have even more time of connection,
More time of rest,
And more time of connecting to your highest self as well as your heart chakra.
The lesson of the heart is that we must fully love and accept ourselves before we can love and accept others.
Begin to let your body settle.
Begin to notice your breath.
Spread your collarbones wide,
Opening up the space that holds your heart.
If it's comfortable for you,
You can bring one hand to your heart and the other on top of your belly.
Bring your awareness to the space that surrounds your heart.
Notice the space rise and fall with your breath.
As you inhale,
Feel your belly expand and fill your lungs with fresh air.
As you exhale,
Feel your belly contract,
Emptying out,
Creating space for new awareness.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Relax.
Relax.
Relax.
Let go.
Let go.
Now imagine you're breathing in a large emerald light through your nostrils.
Settling down and into your heart space,
It brings with it warmth,
Making the entire upper body feel toasty and cozy.
As you breathe,
Allow this light and warmth to grow.
Allow this light and warmth to grow.
Growing bigger,
Larger,
Warmer,
Brighter.
This emerald light is expanding to completely surround you.
With each breath,
It gets larger and larger,
Surrounding the room that you are in,
Surrounding the building you are in.
Because you are you,
It can grow even larger,
Expanding 100 times the amount of strength that it already has.
This light,
This warmth,
This love expanding with each breath.
By opening our hearts,
We can allow love to come in.
This is a courageous move.
By doing so,
As we expand our light,
We also expand the light that we are able to receive.
Take a moment here to call to mind someone or multiple people whom you love.
Bring their faces very clearly into your mind's eye.
Now allow love to radiate from your heart space out and into this person or people.
Send them a message of love.
And imagine them receiving this message from your heart space directly to their heart space.
Add energy,
Light,
And love with your breath.
Now call to mind yourself.
Picture yourself here in this room.
Bring your face very clearly into your mind's eye.
Now using all of this love,
Compassion,
And openness cultivated here in this space,
Begin to wrap yourself up in love,
Sending it out from the space that holds your heart.
You are love.
You are wanted.
You are needed.
Many times the love that you give to others,
You have forgotten to give to yourself.
The power that lies within you is also the power that is able to continue to work,
To heal,
And orchestrate for your highest good.
Relax.
Relax.
Relax.

Let go.
