Welcome,
Dear one.
I am mythological goddess.
Allow me to guide you through this yoga nidra practice where you will become supercharged in this forest light bath.
What wonder we will meet and feel in nature surrounded by the giants of old,
Our four-legged friends and the birds on high.
Remembering we are one with all that is.
To begin,
Lie down flat on your back with your spine in one straight line,
Chin tucked in and palms facing upwards.
Make sure you are warm and comfortable as we begin to journey into the forest,
Back into your homeland.
Feeling the weight of your body against the floor,
Each and every contact point,
The back of your head,
Your shoulders,
Your lower back,
Your glutes,
Your legs,
Your heels,
All held firmly by the earth.
Imagine around you and beneath you a forest floor,
A rich green mossy bed that you are lying on,
Trees rising up all around you and rays of light streaming in through the branches,
Illuminating you and the mossy green floor surrounding you.
Imagine roots beginning to grow from the flat of your body down into the rich,
Fertile soil.
Down,
Down,
Down they go.
These roots joining together with your brothers and sisters of the forest,
Intertwining as they grow downwards and outwards,
Stretching in every direction,
An interconnected ecosystem.
Through these roots you are connected to earth and connected to this family of trees,
Your family of trees.
In this forest,
Each sharing with the other all that it is,
You feel strengthened in this connection,
Solid and firm in your placing and part on this earth,
Bringing your attention to your breath,
Noticing how cool and fresh the forest air is,
Begin to inhale slowly and gently,
Drawing this cool fresh air into your chest and deep into your belly.
As you exhale,
Relax,
Letting go of any thoughts,
Worries or tension in your body,
As you sink further and further into this reality,
This peaceful light-filled forest.
Inhaling deeply,
Drawing the forest air into your body,
Seeing it flow into every cell,
Through your arms and down your legs.
As you exhale,
Relax,
Surrendering further and further into the warm embrace of the forest floor.
Continue to slowly inhale and exhale at your own pace.
Coming back to your natural breath,
Observe the movements in the body that the breath makes,
Your belly rise and fall,
Your chest expand and contract,
Begin to trace the journey of air through your body as you inhale and as you exhale.
Continue to naturally observe the breath moving through your body,
Naturally cleansing your body with each breath you take.
We are going to begin the practice of Yoga Nidra.
During this practice,
You will be asked to repeat a sankalpa,
A Sanskrit word meaning intention.
This intention,
When said throughout the process of Yoga Nidra,
Is said to embed deeply into the rich earth of your subconscious mind.
In this session,
We will work with the sankalpa,
I Am.
And as you say these words,
I Am,
Begin to feel your presence,
Begin to feel your knowing in this world,
Begin to connect to that part inside of you that is always okay,
I Am.
For now,
Repeat to yourself,
I Am doing the practice of Yoga Nidra.
I will remain awake.
I will stay still.
Again,
I am doing the practice of Yoga Nidra.
I will remain awake.
I will stay still.
Coming back to your breath,
Feeling the cool forest air into your nostrils as you inhale,
Cleansing your body.
And as you exhale,
Notice that the air is warm and removes anything that no longer serves you from your body.
Continue to observe the cooling inhale and warming exhale.
Now begin to pay attention to the sounds you hear around you.
What is the furthest sound you can hear?
Do not try and name that sound.
Do not try and associate with that sound.
Simply hear into the sound,
Curiously,
As if you've never heard it before.
Coming closer into the room where you are,
What sounds do you hear?
Pay attention.
Again,
Do not try to name.
Coming even closer,
What sounds do you hear from your body?
Can you hear your breath?
Can you hear your heartbeat?
Keeping your attention turned deeply inward,
You will prepare to repeat the Sankalpa,
I AM.
You will repeat it three times,
Each time with heartfelt presence,
Feeling the effect of these words in your body and throughout your very essence.
I AM.
I AM.
I AM.
You will now begin a conscious rotation of your body,
Bringing your awareness and presence to each and every part of your body,
Acknowledging and recognizing each body part.
As you hear the name of each body part,
Mentally repeat it and quickly move as the voice moves.
Do not stay on any one body part.

Having recognized and brought awareness to each and every little body part,
Showering it with your presence,
We will now begin a journey through the forest,
A walk into nature,
Seeing it with more than our eyes,
But beginning to communicate on the level of the plants through frequency and energy.
Imagine yourself rising from the mossy green forest floor on which you lay,
To stand firmly with your two bare feet flat on the earth.
See yourself as unclothed,
Just as you are.
There is nothing man-made or unnatural to be found in this place,
Just you and this forest.
Begin to look down at your body,
Your arms,
Your legs,
Your feet.
You notice a glow surrounds you,
A glow emanating from your skin.
The glow reaches into the air around you,
Extending two feet from your body.
You are surrounded by light.
You are creating this light.
You are light.
See these dancing particles of light holding your form and extending it further into the space around you.
As you smile in wonder and awe,
You sense the corners of your lips turn upwards.
You begin to feel so blissful at this incredible sight,
Seeing clearly for the first time that which is always there.
You begin to feel so joyous.
You laugh out loud.
And as you laugh,
You see this field of light grow even further still from your body,
Becoming brighter and larger with your joy.
The light you shine awakens the forest.
You begin to hear the leaves rustle.
See the branches sway and feel the breeze pick up from behind you.
You feel they are speaking with you.
As you look up and around,
You begin to see a glow emanating from the trees,
These ancient giants.
A glow emanating from their leaves,
Their branches,
Following this glow down along their trunks before you see the whole forest floor light up beneath you and around you.
You are surrounded in light.
Paying attention to your bare feet and every step that is carefully placed,
You begin to walk ahead,
Feeling into the forest floor beneath the wetness of the soil,
The crunch of the leaves.
As you look behind,
You notice an outline of every step you took until now.
Your energetic imprint of light and joy left with this forest forevermore.
Continuing to walk,
You slowly make your way towards an ancient tree in front of you.
You place the palms of your hand on the trunk and feel the bark of the tree on your skin.
You see the tree glow brighter and brighter as it begins to shower you with light.
You first see it flow into your palms and run along your arms and down throughout your entire body.
You are pulsating bright white light.
It floods into every cell,
Illuminating you from the inside out before flowing out into your energetic field,
Your aura.
Bright white threads of light begin to spill from you,
Connecting to each and every tree in the forest.
See it now.
As you connect to each tree,
They in turn send back a tentacle of light flooding your body with even more light.
You are bathed in light.
The light floods through your body,
Clearing each and every organ,
Every tissue,
Every muscle,
Down to every strand of DNA.
This light flushes you of any toxins,
Negativities,
Tensions,
Worries,
And anything that does not serve you,
Removing it from your body.
You watch them drain from your body out into the soil.
These now open cavities in your body are quickly filled with bright white light.
You are shining even brighter from the inside out.
You feel your body become lighter and lighter,
Almost weightless as the density is drained and replaced with pure light.
As your essence is cleansed and purified,
You become a vessel to hold higher and higher frequencies.
This ancient tree that you stand before begins to pour forth its ancient light to you,
The brightest light you have ever seen.
You receive it through your palms.
You watch it flow along your arms and enter into your heart center before flowing down through your spine to the base at your root chakra.
Here the energy builds,
Collects,
And intensifies.
The energy bursts through your pelvis,
Sprouting roots that drive into the ground beneath and seek out the roots of the ancient tree,
Connecting to it,
Creating a circle of light.
The light continues to pulse forth from the tree through your palms,
Into your heart,
Down to your root chakra,
Before it joins with the roots of the ancient tree and re-energizes once more.
You stand connected with the tree,
Receiving its light and its ancient wisdom,
As it receives your love and connection.
Be present.
Listen.
Learn.
What does this tree gift you with today?
Does it have a message for you?
Feeling rooted in your placing on this earth,
Gaining the wisdom of your elder,
You remove your palms from this ancient tree,
Disconnecting the circle of light.
You look down at your body and notice that it has become almost translucent.
You inspect your fingers,
Arms,
And legs in awe as you see your body made of light.
You can see so clearly your connection with everything around you as your light flows effortlessly into the shining air,
The shining air flowing effortlessly into the glowing tree,
A world filled with light and everything connected.
You thank the glorious tree and move forward.
Your body guides you through the forest effortlessly.
You feel so at home here,
Even though you are seeing it with your eyes for the first time.
Your body leads you to a raging river filled with boulder rocks.
The water gushes over the rocks,
Forming small waterfalls as it traverses downwards.
You make your way to a natural pool.
It appears to be shimmering throughout.
You step into the pool and submerge your body.
You lose all sense and shape of your form as your light merges with the pool of water.
You become the water.
You begin to flow through a small crack in the rocks,
Before quickly joining the rapid moving water journeying downstream.
Feel yourself flow as water.
Feel the movements.
Feel the flow of life.
Feel yourself flow fast,
Then slow.
Feel the feeling of being pushed over the edge in a waterfall,
Submerged in water,
Only to rise again in paradise.
Feel yourself being pushed to the edge,
Navigating tight corners,
Only to join the smooth flow once more.
Let water teach you.
Be water.
Now follow the river.
You arrive at a lake.
Your presence,
Light,
And energy fills the waters of this lake.
You begin to draw in your essence,
Filling your bodily form once more.
You swim to the edge of the lake and lie on your back on the soft grassy bank.
The warm heat of the sun shines down on you,
Carrying a whole rainbow of colors that illuminate the space around and through your body.
You know how to draw.
Notice each strand of color,
Red,
Orange,
Yellow,
Green,
Blue,
Indigo,
And violet,
As it flows through your body and connects deep at a cellular level,
Locking into your DNA.
You begin to see a crystalline liquid flowing from the sun,
Following the rainbow light and entering your DNA.
It begins to restructure your DNA,
Upleveling it to carry higher frequencies.
You watch as the rainbow light becomes stronger and stronger,
As your being opens and expands further,
Allowing more rainbow light to enter your cells.
You feel yourself becoming fully energized.
You feel supercharged.
Feel yourself becoming vibrant,
Strong,
Full of health with the sun's rays.
Feel the heat on your skin.
Feel the heat within.
Feel the transformation within your cells,
Within your DNA,
Your body becoming stronger and stronger.
You feel ready to bounce,
Jump,
Skip,
And leap around.
You cannot contain the energy.
You leap up and start to run at the fastest pace you've ever ran.
The trees blur around you.
You feel yourself cutting through the air,
Wind gushing by on either side.
The forest animals come to join you,
And soon you are running in a pack,
Leading wolves,
Deer,
Foxes,
And rabbits through the forest.
The birds are flying above you,
Keeping pace.
As you swerve left,
The animals follow.
As you swerve right,
The animals follow.
You become a symbiotic pack,
All of you operating as one.
Tune into your heart center,
Your heart chakra.
Feel the love flow from your heart center as you run with the pack.
Your brothers and sisters around and above you.
Feel your heart centers connecting as you move in unison.
A green glow connecting one heart to the next,
Moving as one.
You notice you can hear the animals thoughts,
See through their eyes,
Hear through their ears,
Feel their heartbeat.
You enter a clearing in the forest,
Where fairies stand tall before you.
The pack stops,
And you move your awareness back into your life form,
Your body.
The fairies are singing.
You see a melody of colors dance around the air as the fairies sing the most magical tune in a language foreign,
Yet familiar to you.
You move closer,
And the melody of colors surrounds you.
You feel your throat beginning to open as you join with them in song.
You feel the song flow through your body as your throat continues to expand,
Your voice becoming louder as you sing harmoniously and passionately with the fairies.
The song naturally comes to a close.
A fairy steps before you,
And holding your face,
Kisses you on the forehead between your eyes.
You close your eyes and begin to feel pressure on the spot where the fairy kissed you.
As the pressure eases,
A symbol appears.
What is it?
What does it look like?
What has the fairy gifted you?
You open your eyes,
And the fairies bow in unison before you as they turn to leave.
You sit cross-legged in the open field,
Looking down at your naked body,
Shining brightly like a star.
You see the energy flow from your pelvis into the meadow around,
Lighting up the grassy floor.
You bring your attention to the top of your head,
Your crown chakra,
And feel it opening wide.
The air begins to illuminate with light as it enters your crown and flows throughout your body.
Next,
The trees and animals begin to illuminate as they too send energy into your crown.
The sky above illuminates in bright white light as it pours light into your crown.
You feel all this light flow into your body,
Circulating into every cell.
You are bathed in light,
The whole forest illuminated.
You are connected to every sentient being,
Every molecule of air,
Every drop of water.
You are the forest.
The forest is you.
With every heartbeat,
The light pulses.
With every breath,
The leaves rustle,
The branches sway.
Feel the forest.
You lay back on the grassy meadow and return to your place on this earth.
Back into the room you came.
Holding the light of the forest,
You begin to feel into your physical body,
Lying here in this present moment.
Feeling each and every part of you against the ground,
All of your contact points.
The back of your head,
Your shoulders,
Your lower back,
Your glutes,
The backs of your legs,
Your heels,
Firmly planted on Mother Earth,
Feeling connected to her.
Begin to remember what you were doing just before the beginning of this Yoganidra practice.
How did you feel?
What were you doing an hour before the session began?
How did you feel then?
Begin to remember back throughout your day.
What happened two hours ago?
What was the first thing you did this morning?
How did you feel?
Did it serve you?
What about the night before?
What did you do just before you fell asleep?
And that morning?
How did you feel as you woke up?
What was the first thing you did?
All of these questions,
How present are you in the moment?
Are you gifting yourself light?
Coming back to the present moment,
Can you remember what the room you were in looks like?
Is there anything hanging on the walls?
Can you describe the color and maybe pattern of the flooring?
What does the lighting look like?
How did the room feel?
How observant were you?
Remembering once more your sankalpa,
Repeating it three times after this voice,
Feeling your connectedness with all that is,
I am,
I am,
I am.
Feeling the weight of your body against the floor,
Becoming aware of the breath and the movements it makes within the body.
Wiggling your fingers,
Wiggling your toes and gently stretching the body out in whatever way feels good for you.
Slowly,
When you're ready,
Opening your eyes and thanking yourself for participating in this yoga nidra practice,
Remembering your connection to all that is and sharing more light in your world.
I've been your guide,
Mythological goddess.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.
I look forward to the next.
