Welcome to Yoga Nidra for self-worth.
Find a comfortable space where you can fully relax.
Make yourself comfortable in Shavasana,
Corpse pose.
Lie down on your back with legs slightly apart,
Arms by your sides,
Palms facing up.
Maybe use a blanket or a pillow under your head,
Maybe a bolster or something soft under your knees.
Take a moment to ensure that you are as relaxed as possible.
If it's comfortable for you,
Close your eyes or allow your eyelids to become heavy and your gaze soft.
Begin by taking a few deep breaths,
Grounding yourself in the present moment.
Gradually shift your awareness into your body,
Acknowledging any sensations,
Tensions,
Or discomfort.
Without judgment,
Observe these sensations.
Explore your body,
Starting from your toes to your legs,
Your torso,
Your arms.
Allow your body to start to relax.
Your shoulders,
Your neck,
Your face.
Allow them to relax.
Breathe into any areas of tension or discomfort,
Offering them the gift of your presence and compassion.
As you exhale,
Release any tension,
Letting go of what no longer serves you.
Redirect your focus to your breath.
Observe the natural rhythm,
The gentle rise and fall of your chest and your abdomen.
There's no need to alter your breath.
Simply witness it.
With each inhale,
Envision a soothing,
Healing light entering your body.
The light is gentle,
Loving,
And compassionate.
As you exhale,
Visualize it dissolving any self-doubt or negative perceptions of your worth.
Imagine this light as a color resonating with healing,
Enveloping you in warmth and safety.
As you continue to breathe,
Let this healing light travel to all parts of your body.
With each inhale,
It fills those parts with warmth and self-love.
With each exhale,
It washes away any doubt or negativity.
Silently or aloud,
Repeat this intention.
I am worthy and I am deserving.
I am worthy and I am deserving.
I am worthy and I am deserving.
Allow the empowering energy to permeate your being.
Feel your feet becoming heavy and secure,
Grounded in your worth.
Let your legs up to your knees and thighs feel heavy and embraced by a sense of value.
Release tension in your abdomen and lower back,
Allowing them to rest comfortably in your worthiness.
Sense your fingers,
Hands,
And forearms becoming warm and relaxed,
Free from any burden.
Feel your upper arms becoming heavy and secure,
Acknowledging their strength and worth.
Allow your chest and shoulders to gently sink into the floor,
Feeling safe in your worthiness.
Sense your neck and head becoming warm,
Relaxed,
And free from any self-doubt.
Guide your awareness through your body,
Relieving tension from each part,
Until your entire being feels relaxed and embraced by the worth that resides within you.
Shift your attention back to your breath.
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your chest and abdomen.
Without altering your breath,
Begin counting down from 27 on each exhale.
Feel a sense of release and relaxation with each breath.

Picture yourself enveloped in a healing,
Protective cocoon of light.
The light is a radiant white,
Symbolizing purity and safety,
As well as your innate self-worth.
As you breathe,
Feel this cocoon expanding,
Creating a safe and nurturing space around you.
Imagine any self-doubt or negative self-perception being gently released from your body and absorbed by this healing cocoon.
With each breath,
Release more doubt,
Allowing it to dissipate into the universe,
Leaving you feeling lighter and more embraced by your own self-worth.
Repeat your intention,
Reinforcing your commitment to recognizing and embracing your worth.
I am worthy and I am deserving.
I am worthy and I am deserving.
I am worthy and I am deserving.
As we move towards the end of the practice,
Bring your awareness to any insights or sensations you'd like to carry with you.
There's no need to force anything.
Simply notice what comes up.
Slowly start to deepen your breath,
Feeling the gentle rhythm of inhalation and exhalation.
Gently begin to move your fingers and toes,
Awakening your body from its deep relaxation.
When you're ready,
Roll onto one side,
Keeping your eyes closed.
Spend a moment here,
Connecting with the ground beneath you,
Grounding yourself in the present moment.
Mindfully return to a seated position,
Carrying the calm,
Healing,
And empowering energy of this practice with you as you continue your journey towards recognizing and embracing your inherent self-worth.
