Hello.
My name is Lynette.
And I will be guiding you through this very special Yoga Nidra today.
As always.
I invite you to get really comfortable.
Find some privacy where you won't be disturbed.
And Make sure that you feel supported and held.
Make sure you're warm.
Get all cozy in your Yoga Nidra nest.
And I highly recommend using something light,
Not too heavy.
To cover your eyes with.
So whether that's an eye pillow or just the sleeve of your shirt,
Something that will reduce the stimulation.
From the light around you.
So that you can sink on into this little bubble of space for yourself.
And so whatever you need from the practice today,
You will receive it.
By staying open.
By staying curious.
By surrendering to this moment.
So really give yourself that permission slip to land here now in this moment.
And if there are any last movements you need to make.
Please do that now.
Soften your heart.
Quiet your mind.
Take a few deep breaths.
And make space for whatever the practice gives you today.
Be open to receiving the abundance of the practice.
The peace of the practice,
The healing of the practice.
Be open to receive today.
This practice is very much centered around your heart.
Bring all of your attention and awareness to your heart space.
You might even feel or hear your heart beating.
And feel into the miracle of this.
My heart is beating.
I am here.
And just with that,
Can you feel the appreciation of this moment?
By listening to the sound of your heart and feeling the heartbeat.
Can that guide you into this present moment?
And remember,
The future shows up as the present moment.
So let's take care of the present moment and we'll take care of every future moment that shows up in the here and now.
So as you settle into that sensation of your heart beating,
Feel your body breathing.
And again,
Take a few more deep breaths in and out.
And with each exhale,
You sink down,
Down,
Down.
Feel the support beneath you,
Around you.
And again,
Receive that feeling of being held.
Receive the feeling of being supported.
In this present moment as you are,
Remembering that you are enough right here,
Right now.
And as you tune into your heart beating and your body breathing,
Again,
Feeling that appreciation for those two things,
What a miracle this moment is.
What a miracle that I am here,
That you are here.
Gratitude and appreciation for anything else in your life that you are so thankful for right now.
And let this high vibrational quality of appreciation Linger.
In this practice.
Fuel this practice.
Circulate through your body and your mind as you rest here now.
And it is here now that we begin the practice of Yoga Nidra.
So as you settle into this,
Space and this time and you feel your heart beating and your body breathing.
I invite you to.
.
.
Repeat your sankalpa to yourself and if you're not sure what to use today.
You might simply say.
I am here now.
Whatever phrase you are working with.
Repeat it to yourself three or four times and Repeat it really slowly with me.
This deep.
Honoring of the present moment that you're in.
Feel the energetic vibration of these powerful words.
And they are also holding you in this practice,
In this frequency of the present moment in this frequency of a love.
A deeper love than before.
You can even imagine.
You are being held by this loving presence,
This frequency of gratitude.
And support.
And peace.
Sink down into the feeling of peace as you take three more deep breaths at your own pace in your own way.
And then once again,
Bring all of your awareness and attention to the center of your heart space.
And if you drop your awareness here.
You might start to imagine.
The image and feeling of the sun shining at the center of your heart space,
This blooming golden white orange red pink light shining brightly at the center of your heart space with these golden rays of light spreading throughout your entire body and maybe even all around your body you.
This.
Deep loving presence you feel is this sun holding you here,
This light illuminating all around you.
Holding you in this beautiful moment.
Imagine the rays of light shining through.
Every part of your body that we travel to today.
Starting in the center of your heart.
Feel the light shining from the center of your heart.
Up through your neck and throat and the back of your neck,
The back of your throat,
The front of your throat.
And then wrapping around the back of your neck.
And around the back of your head.
This warm light wraps around the back of your head all the way to the top of your head.
Cradling your head.
With light.
And these rays of light.
Draw down your forehead to your eyebrows.
Your right eyebrow and the left eyebrow.
And both eyebrows together.
And then to the center of your eyebrows.
And this light in the center illuminates out.
And this light that projects out from the space between your eyebrows illuminates this bubble of light around you,
Around your whole body.
So that you see and sense and feel.
This light in front of you,
Behind you,
Above you,
Below you,
And all around you.
Rays of light wrapping around your whole body.
Like a protective blanket.
The light illuminates the right eye.
Like it's doing a sweep here and clearing your vision.
And the left eye clearing your vision.
And both eyes together.
The ray of light travels down your nose to the tip of your nose.
Sweeping under your cheeks first to the right ear,
Like it's clearing your hearing.
Bend to your left ear,
Clearing your hearing.
And both cheeks and ears together.
So your intuitive vision and hearing is clear.
And then all of this light compresses into a small.
.
.
Little ball of light at the center of your head between your ears.
And this little ball of light is the brightest white light you've ever seen.
Shining at the center of your head.
Your pineal gland is activated.
Giving you a clear sense of inner vision.
And insight.
The rays of light shine down on your whole face,
Your lips,
Your mouth.
Your teeth,
Your tongue,
Your jaw.
Your whole head and face illuminated with light.
Relax your whole head and face.
And this light drops down again through your throat back to the center of your heart.
Over to your right shoulder.
Down your right arm to your right hand.
The palm of your right hand.
The back of your hand.
And all of your fingers and thumb together.
It might even feel like you're holding a sphere of white light in the palm of your right hand.
Relax your right hand.
And the light flows up the right side.
And over to the left shoulder.
Down your left arm.
To your left hand.
The palm of your hand.
The back of your hand.
And all of your fingers and thumb all together.
And now it feels like you have a sphere of white light in the palm of your left hand.
Relax your left hand.
The light streams up the left side and back to the center of your heart space.
Where you feel and sense and see this beautiful bright sun shining out all around you and within you.
This bright light travels down your torso,
Through your belly and pelvis.
And continues down your right leg.
All the way to your right foot.
The sole of your right foot.
The top of your foot and all of your toes together.
Relax your whole right foot.
It might even feel like your right foot is encased in a sphere of white light.
Which will illuminate every step you take.
This light flows back up your right leg.
Over and down your left leg.
Down the left leg to your left foot.
The sole of your foot and the top of your foot.
And all of your toes together.
Relax your whole left foot.
And again,
On this side,
It might feel like you have a sphere of light.
Around your whole left foot,
Illuminating every step you take.
Relax your right foot.
Relax your left foot.
Relax both feet together at the same time.
These rays of light are gonna wrap up your body from your feet.
All the way up your legs,
Wrapping around you.
Wrapping around your knees,
Your thighs,
Your hips.
Wrapping around your pelvis,
Spiraling up your body.
Up your back and belly.
Up your shoulder blades and chest.
Around your body.
Hands and arms and shoulders.
Wrapping around your neck,
Your face,
Your head.
And as you exhale,
This spiral of light.
Spirals counterclockwise from the top of your head down your body all the way to your feet.
Relax your whole body.
And as you inhale,
These rays of light spiral clockwise from your feet.
Slowly,
All the way back up your body to the top of your head.
Relax your whole body.
On your next exhale,
This light spirals back down,
Counterclockwise,
From the top of your head down to the soles of your feet.
And as you inhale,
Spiraling clockwise from your feet around your body all the way to the top of your head.
As you exhale,
You relax your whole body.
This light spirals all the way down to your feet.
As you inhale,
Watch this light spiral all the way clockwise up your body to the top of your head.
And as you exhale all the way back down to your feet,
Watching this spiral.
As you breathe.
All the way in.
And up.
To the top of your head.
And as you exhale all the way back down to your feet.
Breathe like this,
Watching the light spiral up and down.
On the inhale,
Down on the exhale.
And breathe like this 25 more times.
And down.
In,
And out.
Spiraling up on the inhale.
And down on the exhale,
Wrapping yourself.
With this breath of light.
25 more times,
Counting backwards.
You can stop counting.
Wherever you are.
And relax your whole body.
Floating in these waves of breath,
You can relax your whole body.
And as you relax your whole body.
You can see yourself wrapped in this beautiful light.
Shining from the inside out and all around you.
Relax your whole body.
And as you continue to relax your body,
You can see a.
.
.
Golden sphere of light in front of you,
Coming towards you.
It is asking for permission to come closer.
And you know you are safe.
And so you welcome this light closer to you.
And as this light comes closer to you,
You see that it is a beautiful golden lion.
Shining brightly with.
A light that reminds you of strength.
Encourage.
And gratitude.
And you allow this beautiful lion to start to walk beside you as you both start walking down.
This path that is illuminated by this iridescent light.
And you can't see the whole path,
You can't see the whole way,
But you can see the step in front of you.
Lit up.
So you can take your next step.
Step by step.
The path.
Lights up,
The path illuminates for you.
And you see your bare feet walking slowly,
Step by step.
By step.
The lion walks beside you.
And as the lion walks beside you.
You pause.
For a moment,
And you remember a time.
When you felt really brave.
You remember the feeling of.
Maybe feeling a little scared,
But.
.
.
Doing it anyway.
You remember the feeling of having courage to take a step in the direction your heart was calling you towards.
Remember that feeling of being brave.
And then for a moment,
Just remember the feeling of being really scared,
Scared to take the step.
Scared to take action.
Feeling scared of doing what you know.
You're ready to do,
But being too scared to move.
And then let the feeling of courage and bravery wash over you like rays of light from the sun shining down on you and feel that feeling of bravery and courage filling you up.
And shining out of you.
And you know you are ready to take the next step in the direction of your dreams.
And so you and the lion.
Keep walking down this.
Path of light,
Step by step.
Feeling the feelings of brave and courage as you walk.
Noticing.
What you see around you as you walk forward and step forward.
And then you pause again.
And you look at the lion.
And the lion is sending you the frequency of gratitude and appreciation.
And you feel that,
You feel a time when you felt so grateful,
But not just grateful,
You appreciated.
The moment you appreciated what was in front of you.
You were just so grateful for what is now without looking for something else.
Just such gratitude for the present moment you're in.
Remember a time when you felt so thankful.
In your life.
And then just for a moment.
Remember a time when you were thankful,
But you were also just wishing things were different,
Wishing you had something else,
Wishing you had more.
Thinking that you'd be grateful once you had something else.
And just forgetting.
All of the abundance that you have.
Remember that feeling of just it not being good enough.
Maybe you don't feel good enough.
And then let the rays of light from the sun shine down on you with that feeling of gratitude and appreciation and that feeling of I am enough.
And this is enough.
And I can want more,
And this is so beautiful right now,
Here,
In this.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
And you look at the lion and the lion smiles and you smile and you keep going,
You step forward with those feelings of courage and appreciation.
Like a building fire getting stronger and stronger.
You continue down this.
Illuminated path of light,
The lion walking by your side,
Reminding you and then you pause one more time.
And you look at the lion and the lion is almost shining so bright like the sun and it's shining onto you the feeling of joy.
Just pure joy.
And happiness and contentment.
Remember the feeling of joy.
Remember a time when you felt so joyful and light and happy.
Maybe you're laughing.
Remember what that feels like.
And just for a moment,
Remember the opposite.
Remember a time when you didn't feel joyful or happy and things felt hard.
Or they appeared negative,
Or maybe you feel angry.
And it feels heavy,
Feel the heaviness.
Of there being no joy,
Feeling the heaviness of that.
How much harder it feels.
And then once again,
You feel the light from the lion.
Shining on you these feelings of joy.
Just joy,
Just for,
Just because.
Just because the feeling of joy.
And how light that feels in your body when you feel joyful.
When you feel happy and not because of anything external,
Just this inner feeling of joy and the peace that that gives you.
Remember the feeling of joy in your heart,
In your mind,
In your body.
Maybe this feeling of joy makes you laugh or dance.
But just feel the lightness of joy.
Even if you don't feel like there's something to be joyful about,
Remember a time when you felt that way.
You look at the lion,
And the lion looks at you,
And there's this connection between you two,
This golden cord of light,
And you both keep walking side by side as you remember how courageous you are and how brave you are and you take another step.
And you feel the appreciation for yourself,
For this light beside you,
For your life.
You feel what you're grateful for and you take another step on your path.
And you notice what's around you as you continue to walk forward.
And you remember the feeling of joy and delight.
And happiness within you and how this gives you a feeling of peace.
In your body and you take another step on the path.
And you see your feet walking on the path and you see the lion's paws walking beside you.
And you pause again.
And you look at the lion.
And the lion gets brighter and brighter.
And turns into this ball of bright light.
And starts to merge with you.
And you keep walking along as you feel the light of the lion become you.
And as you walk forward on your path,
You realize you are the lion.
The lion is you.
You are the light.
The light is you.
And you feel the warmth of your light.
The center of your heart space,
Shining out all around you like a sun.
Shining out and all around.
This world.
And as you walk.
On this path,
You realize you have this light and you can shine this light out.
In the world wherever you go.
And that you have this light within you.
You don't need to search for it anywhere.
It's already within you.
And you feel yourself shining from the inside out with this power of peace,
The power of joy,
The power of gratitude.
The power of bravery.
And you feel this.
Positive frequency vibrating at the center of your heart space.
And this light at the center gets brighter and brighter.
Until you see yourself lying down at the center of this light.
And you feel yourself shining your light out all around you into this world.
And you feel the world getting brighter and brighter just because of your light.
Rest at the center of this light.
The practice of Yoga Nidra is now complete.
As you feel yourself landing back in your space,
Slowly coming back.
Repeat.
To yourself,
Any messages you heard.
Or repeating your initial sankalpa.
Repeating the words to yourself.
And know these words are the light you are shining out within you and all around you.
And feel the power and impact of your words.
That you say to yourself.
And feel the power they have in the world.
Remembering your words are a frequency that you put out and you get to choose what that frequency looks like and feels like.
As you feel yourself landing back in your space,
You might take a few deep breaths.
To land back in your physical body,
Back in this time and in this space.
You're welcome to stay here and linger in this light or if you're ready to move you can Slowly move in any way that feels nourishing for you.
That feels loving for you.
Moving slowly and gently.
Eventually returning to a comfortable seated position.
When you're ready.
And remember,
The answers are all within you.
The light is within you.
The power of your courage.
Your joy,
Your.
.
.
Love your gratitude.
That's all within you and the power of that benefits you and everyone around you.
Thank you for sharing your time with me and the light in me sees and honors and acknowledges the light in you.
Thank you for taking time for yourself today and for sharing your time with me.
Sat Nam.
Namaste.
