As we relax into the process of yoga nidra,
We open the gateway of yogic sleep and true deep rest.
Because this ancient process of rejuvenation allows for setting an intention and then a satisfied letting go,
Before cultivating healing relaxation throughout the physical body.
And during this yoga nidra practice,
We will draw from the wisdom of eternity,
The elements of the universe,
As your mind and soul simply rest with ease.
And as your belly drops down and your jaw unlocks,
You begin to remember that the light of the stars lives within you.
Because in your divine oneness,
You are comprised of stardust.
The history of the eons is in the fabric of your being,
And the light of the galaxies dances in your eyes,
Your eyes which are now gently closed to enable your yogic sleep.
As stardust,
You are divine and infinite,
Because energy can neither be created nor destroyed and you are an incarnation of this very principle.
So with this knowledge of your oneness with all that is,
You may allow that to inform the belief that anything is possible for you.
And from this place of raw faith,
You may set your sankalpa,
Your intention or desire,
To be made manifest.
And as you ponder your sankalpa,
Your goal or deep resolve,
Really feel into the heart space for which wording resonates best for you.
Will you create a positively phrased mantra which you now repeat in your mind three times?
Envisioning what this looks like when it has manifested.
Feeling the emotions of what this feels like within you.
Finding space for this in your life.
And with all of your senses visualising how your life is when your sankalpa is fully realised.
And perhaps you will breathe a little deeper,
A little easier,
With more gratitude,
When your sankalpa materialises into your physical realm.
And so you take a deep breath and you let it go.
Now sending it out to be made manifest in its own mystical way.
As you take a deep belly breath in and out,
You let the universe breathe you with such ease.
And there's no need to control this because it's a spontaneous,
Natural action.
Simple and primal.
Feeling these waves of life giving breath filling your being.
And your energy field spreads out and expands further into this safe,
Dark space.
And with every breath you are shedding a layer,
Dropping away all that does not serve you.
Allowing your authenticity to shine.
Enabling your core essence to reveal itself.
No more striving or trying but rather resting easy in who you are.
And going deeper within,
Moving deeper and deeper into you.
Feeling all else and dropping down,
Melting into your soulful essence,
Your inner self,
Your presence,
Your awareness.
And you find there is so much space here as you relax so deeply here.
Feeling the spiral connection between yourself and the universe as you breathe.
And you may imagine yourself floating amongst the stars and planets in the far reaches of space.
Feeling weightless,
Light and free.
And you know you belong here because you are made of the very same elements which surround you.
You are stardust.
And because your chakra system reflects the planetary system,
You now let your awareness sink even deeper.
Into the subtle energetic body where your chakras radiate into your auric field.
And now as you progressively relax into your practice of yoga nidra,
You bring your awareness to the top of the head,
Back of the skull,
Back of the neck,
The whole head now feeling heavy and committing to rest easy here.
Both eyebrows relaxing and the space between the eyebrows temples for it.
Both eyelids full of sensation and awareness.
Both eyes and the space just underneath the eyeballs.
Cheeks and cheekbones.
Ears and earlobes.
Nose and tip of the nose.
Both nostrils.
Your mouth.
Tongue.
Sensations within the mouth.
Chin.
Both sides of your jaw relaxing.
The hollow space of your jaw.
Now feeling both shoulders dropping down.
Both trapezius muscles letting go.
Both upper arms.
Both elbows.
Relaxing the forearms.
Wrists.
Palms of the hands.
Backs of the hands.
Both thumbs.
Index fingers.
Third fingers.
Fourth fingers.
Pinky fingers.
Feeling the spaces between the fingers.
Tips of the fingers spreading out into the ether of the universe.
Now feel the chest.
Collarbone.
And the upper back.
Feel the rib cage.
The sides of the ribs.
And the middle back.
Feel the belly melting your belly down now.
And the lower back.
And the pelvis.
Both glutes.
Both hips.
The muscles of the thighs.
Kneecaps.
And the space around the knees.
Shins.
Carves.
Ankles.
Heels.
Soles of the feet.
Tops of the feet.
Big toes.
Second toes.
Third toes.
Fourth toes.
Pinky toes.
Feel the space between the toes.
And the tips of the toes.
And you sense the sacred geometry of the universe playing out in the designs of your body.
The stardust of your bones.
As you feel the whole body at once.
Together.
Aligned.
Complete.
And you may feel your cells healing here.
Rejuvenating in all of this space.
Pulsing with divine energy.
And glowing with health just like your backdrop of stars.
And I wonder if you can go deeper still,
Shifting into your awareness of these subtle vibrations at a cellular level.
The building blocks of life.
And you really tune into your sensations within this stillness.
In this space.
Feeling the hot and the cold.
The side of your body facing the sun,
Feeling its gentle warmth.
The opposite side positioned towards the coolness of space.
And you flip your body now,
So the other side is sun gazing.
Feeling this heat sensation across one half of your body.
And the opposite half of you now cooling in the sun's shadow.
As you drift here in space,
Feeling this expansion.
You wonder which side of your body is more relaxed.
Or perhaps both sides are equally settled here.
Each and every part of you now content,
Ready for your deep yogic sleep.
As your awareness is all that remains,
As you float freely amongst the stars.
This feeling of simply being.
Time and space now melted and merged.
With your clear mind enjoying this rest.
So safe here,
Cradled in the crucible of eternal space.
Falling back into your deep yogic sleep.
Your deepest divine rest.
