Please make your way to a comfortable lying down position Preparing your body,
Your mind,
Your spirit for the deep medicine yoga nidra offers Using pillows,
Blankets,
An eye covering,
Anything that you require to find deep deep rest that is much much deserved We receive so many messages throughout the day to force and push and produce And I invite you to embody this practice of non-doing,
Of refuge To recharge and find inner balance Begin to just become aware of your breath Feeling the expansion of your inhale as it reaches down into the depths of your lungs and your belly And feeling that wave of softness and ease as you exhale and release the breath out As you inhale,
Drawing the breath in As you exhale,
Feel the weight of your body releasing into the earth beneath you Connecting and tracking the breath in and down And following and tracking the breath as it leaves your body There's nothing to do,
Nowhere to be Shifting from thinking and doing to feeling and being And in your mind's eye,
Start to visualize a circle or bubble of healing white light starting from the crown of your head All the way down the front of your body over the soles of your feet Up the back of the body Circling you in this protective,
Healing bubble of white light As you breathe in,
Feeling the nourishment,
The peace that this light embodies around you As you exhale,
You can release any deep tension or stress As you breathe and then fight in this sensation of ease Draw your attention and your awareness to your heart You can imagine a clear quartz crystal at the center of your heart space With all its brilliance and facets Reflecting out to the world around you as you bring forth your intention Or your sankalpa,
Your deepest heart's desire If you're working with a particular sankalpa,
You can bring that forth Or perhaps repeating a short sentence in the present tense such as I am illuminated or I am a beaming treasure house of light Once you have your intention,
Repeat it inwardly 3 times As you breathe,
Feeling your intention with your entire body and mind simultaneously Feel the ground holding you Feeling your body weight drop deeper and deeper into the earth beneath you Now we'll move through a rotation of consciousness Perhaps you imagine a healing light,
Warm and illuminating,
Moving point to point around your body Every area this light touches creates nourishment and healing There's nothing you need to do but just follow my voice as we move from point to point Begin by sensing the right hand thumb,

Being bathed by this vibrant healing light A protective bubble of light surrounding you is growing more luminous,
Sparkling more vibrant The deeper you rest here in this awareness Now move through sensing and feeling opposites in your body Feel a sense of heaviness throughout your entire body Feeling grounded,
Safe,
Rooted and supported by the earth Give into the gravity with all of your weight Feeling lightness throughout your body,
Buoyant,
Light,
Floating above the clouds As you float here within and above the clouds,
Feel yourself being showered and bathed by the beaming rays of sunlight over you As you breathe,
Feel the lightness of your radiant energy body Now begin to experience and feel heat You may even imagine the heat from the sun beaming over your body like the desert sun shining down on the resilient cacti that still bloom these beautiful flowers under the hot sun Feel the heat,
The sun,
The light,
Bathe your skin Now feel a coolness lying under a deep dark night sky Feel the cold,
Damp earth underneath you Being showered by the light show of the stars and a slivered new moon in the night sky Feeling the coolness while experiencing the healing starlight that washes over your body Just allow yourself to rest here in silence Being bathed and healed by the light Plugged into that divine and source energy as it moves throughout you and around you Feeling the heat,
The sun,
The light,
Bathe your skin Feeling the heat,
The sun,
The light,
Bathe your skin As you inhale here,
Connect with and feel the life force energy moving from the crown of your head and spreading down throughout your body and around your body Relaxing into this illumination of healing light As you start to bring your awareness back into your physical body Start to sense the earth beneath you But remain resting here,
Basking in this energy and divinity of your own inner light You can now bring back your sankalpa into your heart center Perhaps bringing forth that visualization of that beautiful clear quartz crystal at the center of your heart Holding your intention Allowing all the facets and corners and curves of the crystal within you This inner light and your deep intention out into the world around you When you're ready to reawaken from this yoga nidra practice You can start to find very gentle supportive movements Again,

Truly honors,
Respects and sees the divine light in you You are in this place.
We are one.
