Welcome yogis to Meditation Haven and this yoga nidra practice for your deepest relaxation and mystical sleep.
My name is Sonya and I'm honoured to be your guide along this bedtime meditation journey where together we will draw from the wisdom of eternity as you progressively relax,
Receive visions from the divine and then dream the night away.
So to begin simply close down your eyelids gently as you now relax deeper and deeper.
Embracing this safe and mystical darkness.
Because as we learn to open the tranquil gateways of yogic sleep,
We welcome within us a true deep rest,
Known as nidra to ancient yogis.
Now simply arrange your body into shavasana or a most comfortable position for you.
Honour your perfect comfort as you lengthen out or adjust even a little to own your space in a way that feels most satisfying to you.
As you relax deeper and deeper,
You may begin to trust that the calming essence of the universe will replenish the physical and spiritual aspects of your being.
Noticing these waves of life giving breath filling your being.
And there's no need to control this because it's a spontaneous natural action,
Simple and primal.
And allow that breath to expand the lower belly.
As the jaw unlocks and the shoulders settle and your eyes may roll back in their sockets.
As you take another deep belly breath in and out right now.
Let go,
Melt down deeper and deeper.
And now just let the universe breathe you.
You are now being breathed with such ease by the energy source.
And with every breath you are shedding a layer,
Dropping away all that does not serve you.
And you may sense that this soothing process of ancient yogic healing allows for all of your rejuvenation and replenishment.
As you shift deeper towards sleep.
Melting into your soulful essence,
Your inner self,
Your pure presence,
Your awareness.
And your energy field spreads out and expands further into this safe dark spaciousness of the cosmos at large.
And you begin to remember that the light of the stars lives within you.
Because in your divine oneness you are comprised of stardust.
And now as you progressively relax more and more into your practice of yoganidra.
You cultivate a deep and powerful inner healing throughout the resting calm of your sleeping physical body.
So bring your pure awareness to the top of the head.
Back of the skull.
Back of the neck.
The whole head now feels heavy,
Committing to rest easy here.
Both eyebrows relaxing.
And the eyebrow centre point of light.
Relaxing temples.
For it.
Both eyelids full of sensation and awareness.
Both eyes.
Both cheeks.
And cheekbones.
Chin.
Ears and earlobes.
Nose and tip of the nose.
Both nostrils.
Both sides of your jaw.
The hollow space of your jaw.
Mouth.
Tongue.
Sensations within the mouth.
Now feeling both shoulders dropping down.
Both trapezius muscles letting go.
Both upper arms.
Both elbows.
Feeling the forearms.
Wrists.
Palms of the hands.
Backs of the hands.
Both thumbs.
Index fingers.
Third fingers.
Fourth fingers.
Little fingers.
Feel the spaces between the fingers.
The tips of the fingers.
Now feel the chest.
And the upper back.
Feel the rib cage.
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 and bones of the thighs.
Knee caps.
And the space around the knees.
Lower legs.
Ankles.
Heels.
Soles of the feet.
Tops of the feet.
Big toes.
Second toes.
Third toes.
Fourth toes.
Little toes.
Feel the space between the toes.
And the tips of the toes.
Feel the sacred geometry of the universe playing out in the designs of your body.
As you feel the whole body at once.
Left and right sides together.
Aligned.
Harmonious.
Complete.
And I wonder if you can go deeper and deeper.
Shifting deeper still into your awareness at a subtle level.
Feeling the vibrations of the cells.
Pulsing and humming with pure health and vitality.
And within these sensations you know that you are divine and infinite.
The history of the eons is woven into the fabric of your being.
And the light of the galaxies dances in your eyes.
You now let your awareness sink even deeper.
As you realise your chakra system reflects the planetary system.
And you now feel into the subtle energetic body where your chakras radiate into your auric field.
Feeling pure synergy with the universal field at large.
Pure bliss.
So within this deep blissful knowing of your oneness with the cosmos,
On a core level you may believe that anything is truly possible for you.
And now you may set your sankalpa,
Ancient sanskrit for your intention or desire to be made manifest.
And as you ponder your sankalpa here,
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.
And with your mind's eye,
Envision what your life looks like when your sankalpa has fully manifested.
Finding space for this in your life.
And with all of your senses visualising how your life is when this is fully realised.
And so with that,
You may let it go.
Now sending your sankalpa out to be made manifest in its own mystical way by the eternal energies of the all pervading universe.
And there is so much space here as you relax so very deeply.
Feeling the spiralling connection between yourself and the universe as you breathe.
And you may be feeling weightless,
Light and free.
At one with the ether element.
And at the core of your being,
You feel a deep belonging here.
As you are made of the very same elements which surround you.
All else drops away and pales into insignificance.
As your pure awareness floats amongst the stars and planets.
In the furthest reaches of space.
So allow your authenticity to shine.
And enable your core essence to reveal itself.
For you are enough.
You are worthy.
You are divine.
And with that understanding,
That knowing,
You rest easy in who you are.
And go deeper within.
Moving deeper and deeper.
Getting deeper into you.
And within your mind's eye,
You may embrace your sacred vision.
Your awareness of what still can be seen.
Known as Chittakasha.
And so on Chittakasha,
The screen of the consciousness,
You may see an image forming as a picture an idea or a vision for you.
Simply rest back and allow these insights to flow to you.
For this is your pure intuition.
Bringing to you your mystical messages from the divine.
As you drift here in blissful space.
Enjoying this expansion.
You may 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.
Be for your deepest yogic sleep.
As your awareness is all that remains,
As you float freely amongst the stars.
Relishing this feeling of simply being.
Time and space now melted and merged.
With your clear mind now enjoying this sacred rest.
And you may dream away in this spaciousness of the void.
Feeling pure bliss at every layer of your being.
And always feeling so safe here,
Cradled in the crucible of eternal space.
Resting back,
Letting go into your deep yogic sleep.
Your deepest mystical sleep.
Namaste.
