Transcript

Welcome.

Namaste.

My name is Christy and I'm so glad to be with you and guide you through this practice.

This specific yoga nidra practice has been designed to support you in working with the third chakra or solar plexus chakra.

The solar plexus or Manipura can be translated to illustrious gem.

It's our power center.

It's the sun of the body and associated with the element of fire.

It's where we generate energy that fuels our body.

It's our burning inspiration,

Passion,

And confidence that strengthens our unique sense of self.

This practice can support a deeper connection to your inner light and allow you to strengthen your inner sense of worth.

Illuminating your inner Sun to light up the entire universe.

I encourage you to lie down,

Feel as spacious and supported in your body as possible.

The most important thing is that you feel really comfortable and fully at ease.

Now let your feet be a little wider than hip width apart.

Both feet feel relaxed,

Arms outstretched along the sides of the body,

Palms facing upward.

Both hands relaxed,

Warm,

Cozy,

And covered.

Perhaps eyes covered or lights dimmed.

We will ignite our internal state with a few deep breaths.

Fill up all the way with the breath and now exhale it all out.

A big full inhale to fill up all the way to the top and an exhale breath to clear it all out.

Letting yourself arrive here to your practice and even when the mind pulls you away,

It's just one breath away to coming back home to presence.

Release overdoing,

Overproducing,

Overthinking.

Let it go with the breath.

Allowing yourself space to feel nourished,

Replenished,

And refueled by the practice of yoga nidra.

Let the breath begin to uncover the glow of this internal lustrous gem within.

Illuminating the devotion of your heart,

Drawing forth your sankalpa,

Bringing in your sankalpa that you're working with.

Repeating the words,

I am taking my power back with deep breaths.

I am confident,

Empowered,

And I show up in the world as my true self.

Repeating the words of your sankalpa three times now.

Feeling the resonance of the words of the sankalpa.

Allow your awareness to be placed on different energy points that I name,

Like sunlight dancing through an energetic webbing through the body.

Just let your awareness drift from point to point.

Allowing this awareness to awaken any sensations.

Lighting up the whole body together.

Feel a gentle rise and fall of your belly with your breath.

No need to change the breath.

Simply become aware of the soft expansion and contraction of life.

As you inhale,

Silently repeating SO.

As you exhale,

Silently repeating HUM.

SO HUM.

Translated as I am that.

I am all that is.

Repeating SO HUM with each inhale and exhale.

Just like the rays of the sun are an extension of the whole sun.

And the sun is an expression of the universe.

The sun rays.

The sun.

And the entire universe resides within you.

Visualize a small ember of light in the belly.

This light grows to a warming inner sun.

Warming the body from the inside.

Feeling the whole body becoming warm from the glow of the inner sun.

The whole body feels warm.

Nourished by the glow of this inner sun.

Visualize an eclipse creating a sense of cool throughout the entire body.

The whole body feels cool.

Ensued by shade.

Encouraged to trust that the light is always there.

Feel warm and cool together.

Holding both light and dark simultaneously.

Now let this rising inner sun awaken your highest self.

The light traveling to the third eye point.

Illuminating your intuition.

Letting it guide you to whatever you need to hear,

Feel,

See or know.

Welcoming all information from a more expansive view.

Tapped in fully to the buddhi mind.

The doorway to inner wisdom.

Let the pathway to source be fully illuminated and clear.

Like a spiritual sun radiating to light up the entire universe.

Visualize warm honey colored light.

Compassionately warming every corner of your being.

Floating in healing golden light.

All boundaries of the physical body dissolves into oneness.

Feel weightless.

Timeless.

Infinite.

Boundless.

Plugged in and connected to the infinite source.

Resting here in silence.

Nourished.

Replenished.

Refueled with golden healing light.

Allow your sankalpa to arise again.

Like a lustrous gem.

All facets of the gem.

Reflecting the devotion of your heart out in all directions.

Repeating your sankalpa now.

Repeating the words spoken from your heart.

I am taking my power back with deep breaths.

I am confident.

Empowered.

I show up in the world as my true self.

Gently bringing your awareness back to your breath.

Notice how your mind,

Body and spirit feels.

Let yourself bask in the resonance of the practice.

Bask in your own healing light.

Healing deep gratitude for yourself.

Your unique light that shines brightly out into the world.

Let yourself completely shine your light.

Sharing the fullness of your being.

Allowing this light to shine onto others.

Experience the fullness of their being as well.

Like a reflection.

Your light is reflected out into the world.

And then reflected back to you.

Like the famous quote by Thich Nhat Hanh.

To be beautiful is to be yourself.

It's when we can let go of needing to be accepted and validated by others.

And truly accept ourselves through the lens of unconditional love.

Consider some ways you can support your inner light.

Your power center.

Perhaps that's positive uplifting thoughts.

Time to create.

Consistently letting go of comparison.

And self-defeating thoughts and patterns.

Really nurturing and nourishing your own inner light.

So you can continue to shine that out into the world.

Peace to all.

Love to all.

Light to all.

With deep,

Deep gratitude.

Namaste.

Please stay connected.

Let me know how you're feeling.

And maybe sharing some ways that you're nourishing your own power.

I look forward to hearing from you and practicing with you again.
