Yoga Nidra For Deep Rest And Sleep - Heart Chakra

This is a series of seven Yoga Nidra’s, created to focus on each of your body’s Chakra’s. This Heart Chakra Yoga Nidra is an invitation to soften your heart centre, release what is heavy and rest in the truth that you are…and always have been, worthy of love. Yoga Nidra is a Sanskrit word that means 'Yogic Sleep.' Please settle into your very own Nidra Nest and be lovingly guided to let go of the day, to release tension and to relax your body as together we transcend into the depths of open-hearted unconditional love, compassion, healing and inner peace. The audio lasts for 30 minutes, so once I gently guide you out of the Yoga Nidra, the relaxing music will continue and allow you to drift off into deep, peaceful, restful sleep. So, to all of the beautiful souls that I know who struggle with; getting to sleep, staying asleep and getting back to sleep... this is for you! These are most definitely created from my whole heart and made with the deepest love!

These take all the time that you need. To settle into a very safe and comfortable position. Creating your very own Nidra Nest. Ensuring that all of your external needs are met. Making no compromise on your comfort. Gently closing down your eyes. And grounding yourself into this space. By gently deepening your breath. Take a slow breath in. And a longer breath out. And just notice your breath. Moving in and out of your body. Using no effort at all. As your body and your mind start to relax. And please take this time to plant the seed of your Sankalpa. Your intention for your yoga nidra. And this is a positive statement in the present tense. Which becomes a powerful tool for transformation. As your subconscious mind becomes highly receptive. And you are more than welcome to choose one of your own. The focus of this yoga nidra is the heart chakra. So you may want to choose one of these. I love and accept all parts of me. I am love. I am open to giving and receiving love. My heart is open. And imagine now that you are stood at the top of a set of stairs. And you can see that there are nine steps in front of you. And you have the inner knowing. At these nine steps. Will lead you to a sanctuary of rest and relaxation. Take a slow breath in. And a longer breath out. And on the breath out. Take one step down the stairs to step number nine. Take a slow breath in. And on the breath out. Take another step down the stairs. Step number eight. And continue the rest in your own time. Counting. And stepping down towards zero. And on every breath out. Just feel yourself becoming more calm. More rested. And more relaxed. And just know. . . And fully trust. That the more you let go. The deeper you will be held and supported. And if or when you reach zero. Imagine that you are lying in the heart of a beautiful green forest. The trees are tall and ancient. And their leaves form a soft canopy above you. Filtering the light into thousands shades of green. Gold. Emerald. And the palest jade. The air is fresh. And still. And carries the scent of rain on the earth and on new growth. Feel the soft mossy ground beneath you. The perfect coolness of the air on your skin. The forest breathes. Quietly. Steadily. Without effort. And you realize that you are part of this breathing. Your inhale and exhale. The gentle movement of the leaves. The slow and steady rise and fall of the earth itself. All of it in the same quiet rhythm. Bring your awareness to the centre of your chest, Where your heart chakra lies. See a gentle glowing green light here. Pulsing warmly with every heartbeat. With every breath in. This green light grows a little bit brighter. And a little bit wider. And with every breath out it spills outwards. Beyond the edges of your body. Filling the forest around you. With the quiet warmth. Of a full and open heart. Allow these words to find their way into your heart space. I love and accept all parts of me. I am love. I am open to giving and receiving love. My heart is open. You do not need to try to love yourself in this moment. You only need to soften. To allow the green light to be here. To let your heart be exactly as it is. Feel your heart soften and expand with love. Compassion and healing. The trees around you have stood in this forest for longer than you can imagine. Offering shade to everything that passes through without asking anything in return. Your heart is like this too. Vast enough to hold everything. And endlessly replenished by what it gives. Rest here in the green heart of the forest. In the gentle pulse of your open heart. In the quiet truth that love is not something you must earn. It is exactly what you are.
