Yoga Nidra With Releasing The Pancha Klesha

Discover the profound benefits of Yoga Nidra, a powerful technique known as "yogic sleep," designed to guide you into a state of deep relaxation and meditative consciousness. This guided practice based on Swami Satyananda Saraswati's Yoga Nidra will enable you to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit, allowing a sense of inner peace and tranquility.

This session also includes a visualization where we also focus on dissolving The Pancha Kleshas (Ignorance (Avidya), egoism (Asmita), attachment (Raga), aversion (Dvesha), and clinging to life (Abhinivesha) are the afflictions (Kleshas)).

We will now go into the Yoga Nidra session.

So get ready for Yoga Nidra.

Preferably lie down on your back on the floor in Shavasana which is also known as the dead man's pose or the corpse pose.

Sleeping flat on your back,

Body straight from head to toe,

Legs slightly apart and arms a little away from the body with the palms of the hands facing upward.

Take a moment to adjust everything,

Your body,

Make sure you are completely comfortable.

During Yoga Nidra,

There should be no physical movement.

Close your eyes and keep them closed until you are told to open them.

Take a deep breath and as you breathe out,

Feel the cares and the worries of the day flow out of you.

In the practice which follows,

You are going to develop the feeling of relaxation in the body.

It is not necessary to make movements or deliberately relax your muscles.

Simply develop the feeling of relaxation.

It is like the feeling you have just before sleep.

When relaxation becomes deep,

Sleep does come but you should try to keep yourself completely awake.

This is very important.

During Yoga Nidra,

You are functioning on the levels of hearing and awareness and the only important thing to do is to follow my voice.

Don't try to intellectualize or analyze the instructions.

Simply follow with total attention and feeling.

See your body lying perfectly still on the surface that it is resting on.

Visualize this image in your mind.

Now become aware of your breath.

Feel the flow of your breath in and out of your lungs.

Do not try to change the rhythm.

The breathing is natural.

It is automatic.

You are not doing it.

There is no effort.

Maintain awareness of your breath.

Burning Candle Endless Desert Egyptian Pyramid Torrential Rain Snow-Capped Mountains Greek Temple at Sunrise Coffin Beside a Grave Birds Flying Across a Sunset Red Clouds Drifting A Cross Above a Church Stars at Night Full Moon Smiling Buddha Wind from the Sea Waves Breaking on a Deserted Beach The Restless Sea Waves Breaking on a Deserted Beach Now imagine yourself in a serene space.

Perhaps a peaceful garden,

A vast ocean or a mountaintop at dawn.

This is a sacred space where you will meet and dissolve the five afflictions that cloud the mind.

A mist surrounds you,

Obscuring your vision.

This is avidya,

Ignorance,

The illusion that veils the truth.

But as you breathe in clarity,

The mist begins to dissolve.

You now see reality as it is,

Beautiful,

Ever-changing,

Beyond illusions.

You release the false perceptions that have held you captive.

The world is clear,

Open,

Bright.

Now picture yourself standing before a vast ocean.

A single drop of water falls from your hands into the sea.

It dissolves effortlessly,

Becoming one with the whole.

This is asmita,

Egoism,

The false sense of separateness.

You too are not separate from the universe.

You are part of its vastness.

The ego melts and a profound sense of connection arises within you.

Now imagine yourself holding tightly to a golden chain.

This chain represents raga,

Attachment.

Attachment to people,

Attachment to pleasure,

Attachment to material things.

Now with a deep breath,

Open your hand.

The chain drops.

You feel light,

Unburdened.

You realize joy is not something to cling to.

It flows freely like the wind.

You are free.

Suddenly a dark shadow appears before you.

This is dvesha,

The aversion to pain and discomfort.

Instead of running,

You turn toward it with courage.

As you breathe deeply,

The shadow begins to fade.

You realize that pain is a teacher,

A doorway to wisdom.

Fear no longer controls you.

You embrace life's full spectrum,

Knowing that even challenges serve your growth.

You now find yourself standing at the edge of a river.

The water flows continuously,

Never resisting,

Never stopping.

This is life itself,

Impermanent,

Ever-changing.

Abhinivesha,

The fear of death,

The fear of change begins to soften.

You step into the river and let it carry you,

Trusting the flow of existence.

You surrender to life's rhythm with peace and acceptance.

Now is the time to repeat your resolve.

Repeat the same resolve that you made at the beginning of the practice.

Repeat the same resolve you made at the beginning of the practice.

Do not change it.

Repeat the resolve three times with full awareness and feeling.

Now relax all efforts.

Draw your mind outside and become aware of your breathing.

Become aware of the natural breath,

Awareness of the whole body,

And awareness of breathing.

Your body is lying totally relaxed on the floor or on the surface that it is practicing yoga nidra on.

You are breathing quietly,

Slowly.

Develop awareness of your body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes and say mentally in your mind,

O Repeat once again.

O One more time.

Become aware of the surface that you are resting on.

The position of your body on the surface that it is resting on.

Visualize the area that you are practicing yoga nidra in.

Become aware of your surroundings.

With your eyes still closed,

Start moving your body and stretching yourself.

Take your time.

There is no hurry.

And when you are sure that you are wide awake,

If you were in sleeping position,

You can sit up slowly.

And open your eyes.

The practice of yoga nidra is now complete.

Hari Om Tat Sat.
