Hi,

My name is Akasha and I wanted to offer you a short simple yoga nidra practice today Yoga,

Nidra is often referred to as yogic sleep even though we're not actually sleeping Nidra is a practice of allowing the body to relax into a hypnagogic state This will allow us to toe dip so to speak into the subconscious mind Giving us permission to release any stored traumas grief etc without actually triggering So be sure to relax and stay attentive to my voice Begin to make yourself comfortable Get ready for yoga,

Nidra Eyes are closed and the body is still The mind is in a mood to relax You are not trying to concentrate Make no effort to control the mind Yoga,

Nidra is a form of Tantra.

It is not sleeping.

It is not concentration It is opening the inner chambers of your mind in Yoga,

Nidra you step down into the internal dimension of your consciousness Even if you do not understand anything in yoga,

Nidra It does not matter the sound of my voice acts as a rope Just as you take a rope and go in and out of the depths of a cave So with the help of sound you will venture in and out of the mind Become aware of your whole body You are lying flat in a beautiful room The whole atmosphere is charged with a powerful vibration In this atmosphere you are lying on your mat in your space your body is still The sound of your breath is very rhythmic and slow Your body is in a state of relaxation Now think mentally I am going to practice yoga,

The whole of the head,

The whole body,

The whole body,

The whole body.

Become aware of the body on the floor.

There is a point where the body is in contact with the floor.

Bring your awareness to that particular point of contact,

The heels and the floor.

Both of the heels are on the floor and there is a point where they touch the floor.

Now from the top of the body,

The head and the floor,

The back and the floor,

The right hand and the floor,

Left hand and the floor,

Right elbow and the floor,

Left elbow and the floor,

Buttocks and the floor,

Hamstrings and the floor,

Lower belly,

Lower and the floor,

Hamstrings and the floor,

Heels and the floor.

Imagine the meeting points of the body and the floor,

The whole body and the floor.

The body is on the floor.

Become aware of the whole body.

Do not contract and do not expand.

Just imagine in your mind that the body is becoming very heavy.

Awaken the idea of heaviness in the body.

Gradually feel that the body is becoming heavier and heavier.

The head is becoming heavy.

The right palm is heavy.

The left palm is heavy.

Both arms and the shoulders are heavy.

The back is heavy.

The buttocks and the groin are heavy.

The right thigh is heavy.

The left thigh is heavy.

Both the kneecaps are heavy.

Both legs are heavy.

Both arms are heavy.

The whole head is heavy.

The eyes are heavy.

The lips are heavy.

The whole body is heavy.

Keep on thinking that the whole body is heavy.

Intensify the feeling of heaviness.

Then gradually relax part by part.

Now feel the whole body becoming lighter and lighter.

The head is light.

So light that it can even rise from the floor.

The right and left palms are becoming lighter.

Both arms and both shoulders are light.

The back is light.

The buttocks and the groin are light.

The right thigh is light.

The left thigh is light.

The right heel and the left heel are both light.

The whole body is light and weightless.

When your body becomes weightless,

You feel as if it is rising from the floor.

As if your whole body is a mass of cotton.

Cotton represents lightness.

And steel represents heaviness.

Now practice these two experiences alternately.

The whole body is steel.

The whole body is steel.

There are no bones,

Marrow,

Or blood.

Just a steel frame.

Change the idea.

The whole body is cotton.

The whole body is as light as cotton.

There are no bones,

Marrow,

Or blood.

Everything is composed of cotton.

The whole body is as light as cotton.

Again change the idea.

The whole body is like steel.

Heavy steel.

No bone,

Marrow,

Or blood.

The whole body is as heavy as steel.

Change the idea.

The whole body is as light as cotton.

Feel as if the body was composed of cotton.

Cotton is so light it can rise up from the floor.

Now change the idea to heat.

Imagine you're near a burning furnace and you feel intense heat.

Now the whole body should experience the heat of a blazing furnace.

Of the hot tropical sun.

Awaken the experience of heat as vividly as possible.

Change the experience.

The whole body is experiencing the cold winds that blow from the snowy mountains.

The same cold one feels in a deep freezer.

The experience of cold.

Awaken the experience of cold.

Bring your mind to the eyebrow center.

Do not leave that point until I tell you to.

I will enumerate a few objects and as I name each one try to visualize it very quickly.

If you cannot,

Don't worry.

Keep on following my instructions.

Sometimes I will go very slowly.

And sometimes I will go very fast.

I will also come back to the image a number of times.

Some of the images may be known to you.

But do not think too much.

The image should shine by itself.

Bring your awareness to the eyebrow center.

Continue like this.

Come back to the middle of the eyebrows again.

Now develop awareness of the chakras and their positions in the spine.

Muladhara chakra at the perineum in between the urinary and excretory organs.

In women it is at the base of the uterus.

Awareness at Muladhara.

Do not contract the point but try to feel the spontaneous contractions there.

Imagine contractions but do not contract.

Contractions at Muladhara.

Next at the base of the spine is Svadhisthana.

In the vertebral column behind the navel is Manipura.

Behind the heart is Anahata.

At the throat is Vishuddhi.

At the top of the vertebral column is Ajna.

At the top back of the head is Bendu.

And at the crown of the head is Sahasrara.

Try to imagine the location of the chakras.

Repeat the names mentally after me and mentally touch your spine very rapidly at the correct point.

Even if you cannot feel it,

This does not matter.

Repeat the name mentally after I say it.

Muladhara Svadhisthana Manipura Anahata Vishuddhi Ajna Bendu Sahasrara Bendu Ajna Vishuddhi Anahata Manipura Svadhisthana Muladhara Svadhisthana Manipura Anahata Vishuddhi Ajna Bendu Sahasrara Bendu Ajna Vishuddhi Anahata Manipura Svadhisthana Muladhara Now,

To complete the practice,

Become aware of the whole body.

Think that I am practicing Yoga Nidra.

Visualize your whole body in the room.

Become aware of the external environment.

Become aware of yourself.

Say to yourself,

I am practicing Yoga Nidra.

I am visualizing my body in the room here.

Next,

Repeat your sankalpa three times.

If you have one,

Use it now.

If you want,

I will suggest one.

I am awakening my Kundalini who dwells in Muladhara chakra,

Who moves through Shashumna and makes its headway to Sahasrara.

Become aware of your external environment.

Come out of the spirit of Yoga Nidra and return to normal awareness.

Open your eyes and very slowly sit up.

The practice of Yoga Nidra is now complete.

Hari Om Tat Sat.

Thank you, it was challenging, and what I needed. I look forward to growing and learning more..

I loved this meditation! I have just started a Kundalini Yoga practice so the Sankalpa was spot on for me, as was the visualization of the chakras. I look forward to more of these meditations. Thanks and blessings 🙏
