Yoganidra begins by arriving into a safe place where you can close your eyes.
And laying your body out very long.
North to south,
East to west.
In the resting pose of Shavasana.
While you drape your body over the ground.
Create softness where there are hard bones touching the earth.
We.
.
.
Small pillow.
Just behind the head.
Lengthen the back of your neck and gently tuck your chin.
Creating just a subtle lift of the head.
And the heaviness of your heart.
As your shoulder blades drop back into the earth.
Turning your palms upward towards the skies,
Opening the energy body.
Trace a line from the crown of your head.
To the tip of your pubic bone.
From that center point.
Extend the legs left to right.
Equal distance apart.
Move your toes side to side.
And then gently let them drift.
And fall towards the earth.
Soften the backs of your knees.
If you need to pad there.
If you feel any pressure through your low back.
Take a small blanket or pillow.
And place it behind the thighs or the knees.
You could elevate your heels.
Keep your body so soft.
And come back to the center line of the crown to the pubic bone.
Open wide from the center line,
Left to right.
Expand your mid-body.
Become incredibly open.
As your body opens,
Feel your breath.
Begin to deepen.
Lengthen.
Filling your body with ease.
Gently supported by a source outside of you.
Outside of your knowing and your doing.
This outside support breathing your body.
Allowing you to rest.
To let go.
And begin to surrender.
Your busy mind becomes more attuned and one-pointed and focused.
Finding this intelligent breath.
Thoughts in the background.
Floating by.
Not being grabbed and exiting this moment.
But becoming aware that they are there.
And you rest deeper into relaxation.
More into your body,
You become more into your body than you have been in a very long time.
Your heartbeat becomes louder in the inner sensory world.
Your breath becomes more miraculous.
More.
Interesting.
As a guide.
Than just breathing.
Following your breath.
Watching it go into places of your body.
That you haven't been for some time.
Places that have become tents.
Hardened.
Let your breath gently move into those areas of tension.
Expanding and widening your body.
Softening your muscle tissue.
And as the body begins to soften,
So does your mind.
And when your mind softens,
The inner awareness.
Inner sensory world awakens.
And here inside this world,
The healing temple.
That exists within you.
Through restoration and rest.
The door is opened.
During this moment of openness,
Your heart is listening.
Your heart is on your team.
It is always longing for your wholeness.
What does your heart need now to remember its wholeness?
What do you need to remind it that you already know?
That it's already there.
I remember I am.
I remember I am.
I remember I am.
When consciously awake.
Not sleeping.
Thoughts are running through the background of your mind.
These thoughts are going unnoticed,
Unseen.
The driving force of your life is these thoughts.
Become aware of how many thoughts there are there.
And if you could take these thoughts and categorize them,
Put them in a category,
Where would you put them?
Where could you find a home for these thoughts while you explore your body uninterrupted?
From a relentless mind.
Allow your tired mind the space to begin.
To journey into the cells of your being.
The cellular level of your intelligence,
The dense physical body.
Your body is complete and total teamwork between you and spirit.
You are the caretaker.
Find your way into your right palm.
And allow your awareness to expand from the right palm.
To the entirety of your right arm.
And hold awareness there.
Right arm.
Move your awareness now from shoulder,
The top of your right shoulder,
Through the right side body.
Until it touches the tip of your hip.
Right side torso.
Top of your shoulder.
To the top of your right hip.
Hold awareness there.
Bring your awareness from your right hip.
Down your right leg.
Into the whole of your right foot.
And become aware of your whole right side lower body.
Hip to toes.
Hold your awareness there.
Keep your body resting as you pull your awareness from the right side body.
Move it swiftly to the left palm.
Expand awareness,
Left palm.
To the entirety of your left arm.
Hold awareness there.
Awareness moves to your shoulder,
Your left shoulder.
Through left side body.
Left waist.
To the top of your left hip.
Hold awareness of the left side of your torso.
Cold awareness there.
From the top of your left hip,
Awareness travels down your left leg.
Into your foot.
Whole left side lower body.
Hold your awareness there.
Hip to toes.
Left side,
Lower body.
Gather your awareness for both left and right side bodies and rest it at the back of your heels.
Become aware of the back of your heels.
And drawing your internal eye upward.
Sense where your body is touching.
Heals.
Calves.
Thighs.
Glutes.
Mid-bath.
Upper back.
Back of your arms.
Back of your head.
Sense your whole back body.
Become aware of your whole back body.
Awareness moves to the crown of your head.
Feeling energy moving through the crown of your head.
Shift your awareness to the front side of your body.
Beginning at your forehead.
Moving smoothly over each eyebrow.
Eyelids.
Upper cheeks,
Lower cheeks.
Interior of your mouth.
Upper lip.
Lower lip.
Tongue.
Teeth.
Jaw.
Front of your throat.
Center of your chest.
Right breast.
Left breast.
Both arms.
Belly button.
Hmph.
Both legs.
All 10 toes.
Whole body awareness.
Whole body awareness.
Becoming more connected to your physical body.
And at the same time becoming more and more aware.
Of your energetic body.
The fuel that animates your entire body.
Feel your energy body building.
Under the surface of your skin.
And all around you.
Feel your energy body.
In communication.
Like a magnetic field.
Communicating.
Forward and back.
Timelines now.
Future.
Past.
All timelines.
Existing.
Harmonizing.
Whole body relaxing.
Whole body relaxing.
Aware of the energy body.
Its timeless existence.
As air is breathed in and out.
Prana.
Your animated life force.
No time.
No space.
Begin to follow your breath.
Witnessing your breath's magic as it moves in and out.
Of your body.
Maybe there's a color or a denseness or lightness that happens through each cycle of breath.
That if you attuned your inner awareness to.
Heighten your senses.
You could see and feel.
Keep aware of your breath.
Watching any sensory changes that are happening within the body.
Noticing any subtle changes.
Holding awareness.
On your breath.
Watching it.
Being with it.
10.
9.
Eat.
Seven.
Six.
Bye.
For.
Three.
Too.
One.
Whole body harmony.
Whole body harmony.
Inner intelligence awakens.
Whole body harmony.
Hold your awareness just under the tensile surface of sleep.
Enough so that your eyes can see into the waking consciousness.
Where you are holding all timelines here and now.
No effort.
Total surrender.
Let the orbit of your eye expand.
Grow your sight in all four directions.
Expand beyond your periphery.
Go into the unknown and make it known.
Find the tense parts of yourself that refuse to conform.
That hold on out of fear.
And not out of truth.
Now within your body,
Search for its pair,
Its opposite.
Go to the place in your body,
The part of yourself that remembers that it is whole and open.
And love is all it knows.
Go to the center of yourself.
The center of yourself that can hold this duality.
That is both good and that is both sometimes labeled bad Go to the center of yourself that can hold it all.
That has no labels.
No judgments.
Go to the part of yourself that knows the truth that this is your wholeness.
This is the truth of your being and it is perfect.
It is perfect in its polarity.
Create a melting between the divisions of yourself.
Let the softest parts of yourself open its arms to the hardest parts of yourself to love.
Cradle your breath deep into your chest as though it is a small child that has needed and craved love its entire life.
And is now finding it here.
Go to the parts of yourself that are refusing to allow yourself to fully live.
Without guilt,
Without shame.
Find those hardened parts of your body that are so contracted,
So small,
So tucked away.
That you've almost forgotten that they exist there.
And your awakened body contracts when it knows or thinks it's there.
Open yourself.
To loving.
And being.
In complete harmony.
Allow yourself to open.
Without ego.
From this very present moment as you sit.
Or lay.
Open.
Deeply,
Deeply lovable.
Incredibly magnificent a breathing miracle.
Go to the parts of yourself that still remember.
That you are love.
That you are made from love.
You are breathing love.
Let past experiences arise.
In a witness state to allow them to come.
Relax your body.
And stay out of relationship with the experiences.
Be the observer.
Grandmother eyes.
Loving Grandmother Eyes Witness the experiences that are arising.
Relax.
Around your heart.
Widen your body.
From the midline left to right crown to pubic bone.
Body breathing wider.
Bigger.
More whole.
Relax around any story.
Any past experience.
And open yourself to your higher intelligence.
A future timeline.
Become the viewer of the future.
View the future.
Open your heart.
Relax any past experience.
You the future.
Open your psychic eye at the center of your brow.
Clean your psychic eye.
Of any past experiences that have colored the lens of how you see the world.
That is your human eye.
Your psychic eye sees beyond the past.
Has hope for the future.
Sees something different.
Attune to your psychic eye.
Attune to the question your heart desires to know most.
And allow.
The images.
Story.
Or symbolism to arrive.
Is an answer to your question.
Clean the lens of your psychic eye.
Relax your body.
Ask what you need.
What your heart needs.
Don't abandon the truth.
Open your psychic eye.
Open the blueprint of your heart.
And kalpa gently inside.
Allow it to grow.
Every beat of your heart.
And echo of the frequency.
The vibration.
Of love.
I am.
I am.
I am.
Bring with you the sensations and feelings that you felt while experiencing your psychic eye.
Bring them with you to the surface of awakening.
As you climb and ascend from the deepest of the unconscious.
The true unified field.
Where all is known.
Bring these same frequencies with you to the surface.
To your human form.
As your energy body arrives back within itself.
Back upon the ground.
Back behind your eyes.
Back within your mouth.
Back.
Under your skin.
And you feel the pulse of life.
On the tips of your fingers.
Inner rest.
Back of your ears.
Your temples.
Slowly coming back to life.
Bringing with you.
Any knowledge gained.
Trusting that it will be here as you awaken.
The practice of Yoga Nidra is now complete.
HRIYOM TAT SAT.
