Namaste and welcome. My name is Kristen Rose, And thank you so much for choosing to be here today. This yoga nidra. Guided relaxation practice. Is infused with the soothing energy of Reiki. You might think of this practice as a gentle cleansing for the mind. Or a deep internal massage. For the whole body. And nervous system. A quiet space to release tension. Restore balance. And emerge feeling rested. And renewed. Take a few tender moments here now to lie down. To get comfortable. Settling into your yoga nidra nest. A cocoon of deep rest and relaxation. Reaching for pillows. A warm blanket. A covering for the eyes. Settling into your most supported and comfortable position. What might you do to adjust the physical body? To become 2% more comfortable here. Allowing the body to settle. Into stillness. Knowing now that there is nowhere to go. And nothing to do. For you are invited to rest deeply. Open the ears. And listen intimately. Simply follow the gentle guidance of my voice. As we journey inward together. Into a space of conscious sleep. Or deep regenerative healing. And restoration arises. Activating deep theta and delta brainwaves. Soften into a space. Of deep restoration. And rejuvenation. From the inside out. A healing space of conscious sleep. Begin to notice your breath at the tip of the nose. Noticing where the breath enters and exits the body effortlessly. And on the next inhale, Take two slow sips of air in through the nose. Exhale slowly through the mouth. Feel the body consciously releasing tension. Again, Two sips in. Fully inflate the lungs. Exhale through the mouth. Relax the muscles down and away from the bones. One more like this. Exhale. Releasing all the breath out. And any lingering tension. Residing in the body. The natural, Unaltered rhythm of your breath returns. Following the wave of every exhale. As an opportunity to release. Let go. Soften. Whole body becoming heavy. And dense. Sinking down. And into the earth. Relax the mind. Like a muscle. Softening open. With every breath. Letting go a little more. A little more. A little bit more relaxed. And open. Allowing all of your senses to become open. To this moment. Feel the gentle touch of air upon the skin of your face. The darkness behind closed eyes. Notice any tastes on the taste buds. Or moisture inside of the mouth. Any fragrance or aromas. In the air. In the nose. Bringing attention to the ears. Noticing sounds. Different layers of sounds and vibrations. In the space around you. Allowing all of your senses. To come to rest. As you bring attention. To the point between the eyebrows. Softening. Into simply witnessing. Observing. The whole body resting. Nothing to sense. Just be. From the point between the brows. Awareness descends. Like an elevator. Down and into the heart space. Awareness resting in the heart. Notice the heartbeat. The pulse of life force. The drum of the heart. Beating inside of the chest. Bring forth now. A heartfelt intention. The Senkopa. You may wish to borrow the word Shanti. For peace. Or I rest deeply and allow peace to flow through me. Mentally repeat your sankalpa now. Three times. Alongside three breaths. And carried outward. By the gentle rhythm of each. Heartbeat. Shanti. Shanti. Or peace. Or I rest deeply and allow peace to flow through me. Resting so deeply now. Allowing peace to flow throughout the body. Mind. And whole nervous system. Like a river. A current. Of healing energy. This current infused with Reiki. Or universal life force energy. Dissolving tension. Restoring balance.

Right side of the ribcage. Right side of the waist. The right hip. Slowing down. Into the upper leg. Me. Lower legs. Ankle. Sole of the right foot. This current flows down and out through all five toes. Starting in the big toe. Second tone. Forth. Baby towel. The whole right side of the body. Bringing a gentle attentiveness. To sensations that are present. In the whole right side body. Imagine. A river of healing blue light. Flowing down and through. The whole right side body. Where awareness goes. Energy flows.

Lower lip. Outer creases of the mouth. Muscle of the tongue. From the tip of the tongue. The root of the tongue. Center of the throat. Center of the chest. The heart center. The whole body now. The whole body. Resting deeply upon the earth. Trillions of tiny little cells. An inner constellation of sensations. Resting deeply. Enveloped and infused with blue light. And deep relaxation throughout the whole body. The whole body resting. And breathing. Effortlessly. Turning attention now to the breath. The breath at the heart center. Imagine as if you could breathe in through the heart center. And breathe out through the feet. Breath flowing in through the heart. Down and through the body. And out through the feet. Just imagine. In your own gentle way. Breath like a current. Like a stream of oil. Seamless and smooth. Flowing into the heart. Releasing out through the feet. And now. Bringing attention to the boundary of the body. The surface of the skin. And imagine as if the boundary of the body. Could become porous. Open, Wide. As if you could breathe in through the skin surface. Into the space of the heart. Illuminating your Sankalpa. Or shanti. And exhale back out through the skin surface. Letting the energy of Sankalpa. Infuse and envelop your whole body. Whole body breathing in. To the heart. Whole body breathing out. 360 degrees. Whole body. Breathing in. Invoking the breast. And peace. Whole body. Breathing out. It's a wave. Of peaceful relaxation. Ripples out. And into the whole body. And beyond. Into space. Imagine now. As if the boundary of the body could dissolve. Like sugar into water. No boundary exists between internal and external worlds. Dissolving into space. Into this moment. The eternal, Here and now. Becoming one. With all that there is. Resting now. As pure, Spacious awareness. That stretches to the farthest reaches of the universe. And the innermost core of your being. Resting now. As abiding awareness. As vast and as wide open as the sky. And you are the sky. You are. The sky. Remember your Sankalpa. Shanti. For peace. Or I rest deeply. And allow peace to flow through me. Mentally repeat it now three times. Resting peacefully. Simmering in the medicine of deep rest. And peaceful awareness. Slowly start to bring your attention. Back to the breath. Back to the heart. Back down and into the body. Allowing awareness to flow down and through the physical body. To the earth beneath the body. Feel the body resting upon the earth. Begin to gently deepen your breath. Allowing the breath to bring you back. Into a waking state. Or Vishwa. Start to deepen or amplify the breath slowly. Taking your time. As you may feel called. To simmer in stillness. Or even drift off and into sleep. If you feel ready to emerge. From this practice. Start to wiggle fingers. Toes. Knot the head side to side. Reach the arms up, Legs down. Find a long stretch through the body. Bend the knees. Roll over onto the left side. And pause. Reflect. And integrate. Remember. Let the deep rest. And peace you may have cultivated here today. Exists within you always This is a pathway of remembering. So see how long this feeling tone lasts. You may wish to press yourself up to a seated position. Bringing hands together palm to palm in front of the heart. Humble your chin down towards your chest. As we offer gratitude and pay homage to all of our teachers and the ancient traditions we have borrowed these practices from. Thank you. And thank you so much for practicing with me today. May you all be happy. May you all be healthy. May you all be peaceful. May you all be free. From my heart to yours. Namaste.
