Welcome to this practice of Soul Gardening Yoga Nidra, Where you will be guided to relax deeply, Letting go of stress and habitual thinking. We withdraw from the outside world to Soul Garden, To tend to our inner worlds, In the state between consciousness and subconsciousness. We remember who we are, Ready to return and connect with others, Feeling rejuvenated and energized, To fulfill what makes us feel worthy and purposeful. Let's begin. Relax onto a flat surface where you will be comfortable. You can have an eye mask over your eyes, And pillows under your head, Your knees, On top of your belly. Whatever will be most comfortable for you. If you need to put on more clothes or grab a blanket to stay warm, Please do so. Coming to rest on your back if it's comfortable. Let the weight of your body sink into the surface beneath you. Imagine your body heavy, Imprinting itself upon the surface. Feet, Belly button, Head, All in a row. Arms out to the sides near your waist. Hands and palms facing upwards, Curving naturally. Your feet relaxed, Slightly turned outwards. Intentionally stimulating the vagus nerve into relaxation. Breathing out through the pelvic floor, Gently yet fully relaxed. Wave your fingers slightly, Until they are moving so slightly it can't be detected from the outside. Keep your belly loose, Gently rolling along with the breath. Shoulders apart and softly rolling. Rolling slower and slower until undetected. The neck is loose and circulating round and round. Moving slower until undetected. Moving the jaw like eating in slow motion. So slow it's invisible. Making saliva, Swallowing when you need to. Moving your lips ever so slightly, Smiling to neutral. Eyes rolling up and out, Down and in. Small circles, Hardly detectable. Feeling relaxed and calm. If you haven't already, Close your eyes, Or lower your gaze. Make any final adjustments to perfect your comfort now, As we move into stillness and remain still for the rest of the practice. Only our bodies will remain still. Our minds are awake, Aware and energized. Seeds into our subconscious mind, So we can share the most magnificent blooms in our lives. During Yoga Nidra, We function with only hearing and awareness. Blurring the bridges between consciousness and subconsciousness. My voice will guide you, Help to keep you present, Awake and aware. Trust my guidance. Trust the practice. Understand it has the potential to open up new realms, Possibilities and information. Know that whatever happens in this practice is part of the practice, And welcome. Allow the layers of consciousness to peel back. Counting down from 10. When we get to 1, You will be fully relaxed in the body, And fully awake in the mind. 10. Your body is heavy, Returning to the earth. Muscles peeling away from the bones, Surrendering to gravity's will. 9. Allow the skin to slide towards the earth. Feel it smoothing and melting down. 8. The eyes, The tongue, The throat, The heart and all other organs resting towards the back of the body. 7. The deep ingrained, Structural familiarities of the body and the face peel away now, Clearing the way for receptivity. 6. Releasing the body of the duty to detect smell or taste. Letting go of these senses. 5. Letting go of habitual patterns of movement, Of thought. Peeling them back, Layer by layer. The ego left to rest. 4. Not fixated on any one thing, Just allowing for deep relaxation. The feeling before falling into a deep sleep. Stay here. 3. Coming to the knowledge that we are pure energy. Many electrons in space within us. 2. Ready and open to receive. Ready and open to receive whatever this yoga nature practice will bring. And 1. Now feeling fully relaxed in body. Senses of hearing and awareness fully switched on. This practice and this time is a loving gift to yourself. An opportunity to move into the sacred space within. To explore and discover. A deep inward knowing. An act of true love, So giving and caring. Heartfelt and meaningful. Focus hearing inside the heart. What does your heart call for? Using your third eye, The eye of the subconscious, To visualize what it looks like to live from the space of the heart. The heart's desires from formless to form. Give voice to the seeds planted in the heart. Sacred words worthy to live by. Allow it to take form in whatever shape it comes. A simple sentence. Repeat it 3 times. Our energy body is a fertile ground. Open and receptive to the seeds planted within. When we plant seeds of love with care, We ensure a solid grounding from which to live from.

Purpose, Meaning, Love and compassion, Confidence and understanding, Freedom, Choice, Enlightenment, Inner knowing, Transpiring for you now, Going back in time to the spring before the summer, The summer of the dream realized, Visualizing the buds that will soon be blooms, Little balls of potential energy, To the time when behind the scenes is a buzz of activity, Or perhaps in a period of stillness, After the harvest, The time when the work on the inside is invisible to the outside world, Meaningful achievements are a result from long journeys, Of continual and consistent action, Such is the rewarding work of a sankalpa, Visualize what it's like in the spring, The moment before success, See the ups and downs, The lulls that come and go, The parts of the process, The moments before success, The transitions between winter and summer, Rained out loneliness and sunny happy production, Heavy wet saturation and light airy freedom, Such is the nature of life on earth, Going forward in time to tomorrow, Visualizing tomorrow's potential, What it will bring, As you work with heartfelt intention towards your sankalpa realized, What actions would bring you closer tomorrow than you are today, Commit to these actions, Opening your energy channels, All obstructions removed, Energy flowing freely throughout the body, Repeat your sankalpa three times, And release it into the energy flow of your body, Allowing this energy to flow, Filling every part of your being, Allow this energy to awaken your body, Gently waving your toes and fingers, Saying hello to the outside world, Beginning to ready for outer connection, Allowing gravity to take your head ever so slowly to the right, Like a heavy, Moving through time, And then moving it back towards the left, And back to the center, Gently shaking your arms and legs, Circulating the muscles of the torso, Moving gently in any way that feels good to you, Turning to the center, And then to the left, And then to the right, Turning to the side when you are ready, And lifting up to a seated position, Placing your hands to your heart, Thank you for practicing yoga nidra, And tending to your soul garden, This time and practice is a sacred, Beautiful gift, That you can give yourself any time you need, Carry this feeling with you into this day, And always, Namaste.
