Welcome.
Namaste.
My name is Kristi 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 5th chakra,
Known as vishuddha chakra,
Or also known as the throat chakra.
Vishuddha translates to purifier.
And it has everything to do with our truth.
It's our portal of connecting our inner world to how we express that out into the outer world.
It is connected to all of our communication,
Our ability to speak our truth and also listen and how we hear the truth.
It's our pathway to express creativity out into the world.
And this practice can support clearing the pathway of the heart and the intuitive knowing to uncover your deepest authentic truth.
Rest back.
Relax deeply.
Create spaciousness for your body to let go.
Take some deep breaths.
Allowing yourself to completely arrive.
Notice if you feel fragmented or out of sync.
Let this awareness be the light that begins to bring you back home to yourself.
Speaking and listening through the lens of compassion.
Completely turning down the dial of listening outward and turning up the dial of this inner listening.
We will begin practice with a few rounds of brahmari bee breath.
A humming breath.
Even busy bees need to rest.
Give yourself permission to rest deeper with each humming breath.
We will complete three rounds.
And take a inhale breath in.
Seal the lips for a humming breath out.
Inhale.
Inhale.
Just let that breath go.
Just let that breath go.
Coming back to a natural organic breath.
Just like a bees vibration.
Perseverance and connectivity create sweet,
Sweet honey.
Let your unique vocal vibration offer honey to the world.
Your voice is an integral part of the greater whole and brings delightful sweetness to the world.
A reminder that sweetness is everywhere.
Within you and all around you.
Take some gentle breaths from the throat down into the heart.
Allow Vishuddha to be a pathway to express the heartfelt language of your true self.
Pure and clear.
Your words spoken from the heart.
Listen deeply to the heart.
Perhaps it's a word arising or an affirming statement beginning with the mantra I am.
Or it may be a sankalpa or intention you're already working with.
Just listen to the heart.
Let the language of the heart speak.
Speak the words of your heart's desire to share.
Repeating your sankalpa,
This heartfelt desire now.
We'll now begin with a rotation of consciousness.
Remain connected to the element of sound.
Imagine pure waves of sound moving freely through the throat and then emanating out into each energy point named.
Imagine your own hum.
The most healing sound.
Like a pure and infinite sound bowl emanating through you into each cell.
Each cell vibrating with the healing sound of your own hum.
Place your awareness on the center of the throat.
A gentle hum of healing vibration moves from the throat down to the heart and then over to the right shoulder,
The right elbow,
The middle of the right wrist,
The tip of the right thumb,
The tip of the index finger,
Tip of the middle finger,
Tip of the ring finger,
Tip of the little finger,
The right wrist,
The right elbow,
The right shoulder.
A healing vibration at the center of the throat connecting down to the center of the heart.
Waves of vibration now over to the left shoulder,
The left elbow,
The middle of the left wrist,
The tip of the left thumb,
Tip of the index finger,
Tip of the middle finger,
The tip of the ring finger,
The tip of the little finger,
The left wrist,
The left elbow,
The left shoulder,
The center of the throat.
Connecting the vibrations down into the heart center,
The right side of the chest.
Vibrations in the heart to the left side of the chest,
Heart center,
The solar plexus,
The navel center,
The right hip,
The right knee,
The right ankle,
The right big toe,
The tip of the second toe,
The tip of the third toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the little toe,
The right ankle,
The right knee,
The right hip,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the third toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The navel center filled with vibration,
Waves of vibration over to the left hip,
The left knee,
The left ankle,
The left big toe,
The tip of the second toe,
The tip of the third toe,
The tip of the fourth toe,
The tip of the little toe,
The left ankle,
Left knee,
Left hip,
Waves of vibration from the navel center,
Solar plexus,
To the heart center,
Back to the center of the throat,
Let the vibration pool at the center between the eyebrows,
Third eye center,
Flowing up and into the midbrain,
Opening spaciousness of the deepest part of the mind,
Now allow your awareness to experience the vibration of the whole body,
Your whole body at once,
Your whole body still,
But aware of healing vibrations flowing through you,
Like a pure and infinite sound bowl,
Emanating vibrations through you,
Into each cell,
Each cell vibrating with healing vibrations,
Let the breath wash this vibration through you,
An inner sound bath,
Washing through each cell,
Each cell vibrating with the healing effervescence of the vibration,
Soft and gentle inhales and exhales,
Effortlessly washing vibrations of sound through you,
Ride the wave from sound into silence,
Take a sacred pause to become quiet,
An internal quiet sanctuary,
So completely quiet,
Within the quiet inviting in listening,
Soft and gentle listening,
Listening with deep compassion,
Completely quiet and listening,
Now perhaps allowing any messages you would like to give voice to,
To arise,
Deep within you,
Anything that needs to communicate and express,
Now listening and then expressing simultaneously together,
Both held together,
Hearing the truth,
Speaking your truth,
Heard and spoken from the heart,
Expressing your heart's wisdom,
Like a healing vibration,
Your inner truth,
Your heart's wisdom radiating through you,
Purifying,
Cleansing,
Clear,
Like a pristine clear blue ocean,
Imagine waves of blue vibration flowing through you,
Each wave crest and dissolves,
Energy continually transmuting,
Waves of energy created and transmuted,
Each wave changes this internal atmosphere,
Which influences the outer atmosphere,
Allow this to clear out any congestion on the sacred highway connecting heart to mind,
Let the path be fully open from your intuition and communication,
How you express what you deeply know,
See,
Feel,
And hear,
Let the waves of the eternal self,
Atman,
Unite with the ocean of awareness,
Uniting with the infinite,
Eternal ocean of universal consciousness,
Brahman,
Allow this union to be a portal to peace,
Clarity,
And messages that are always there,
Completely rest here,
This quiet inner sanctuary,
Listen again deeply to the heart,
Within the silence,
Let the heart express its deepest desire,
Pure and clear,
The pathway open to express from the heart,
Repeat your sankalpa,
Speak the words your heart desires to share,
Words create a vibration,
Let the words vibrate through you,
And then outside of you,
Just breathe,
Experience this integrated wholeness,
Mind,
Body,
And spirit,
Whole and expressing and listening through the heart,
Begin to connect with the rise and fall of the inhales and exhales,
Experience the vitality that comes now from the full cycles of breath,
Grateful for each inhale and exhale,
Observe if the channel feels more open,
The channel from the heart,
The intuitive knowing,
And the channel to express yourself creatively,
By deeply listening,
And then sharing from this open channel,
Perhaps consider how you can strive to continue to listen to your inner knowing,
Pause to listen within,
Pause to listen to others,
Pausing before choosing to speak or express,
And what ways can you express your dreams out into the world,
And you can remain resting here as long as you need,
If you're ready to reawaken,
Please take your time,
Adding any gentle movements that feel nourishing,
I look forward to practicing with you again soon,
Please stay connected,
I love hearing from you on this platform,
Let me know how you're feeling,
And please continue to connect to your heart,
And share and listen to the truth from the heart,
Let this truth be a vibration that is rippled out into the world,
Deep deep gratitude,
It's such a privilege to guide you today,
Namaste,
Shanti shanti shanti,
Peace peace peace,
