Transcript

Welcome to the star-filled Yoga Nidra practice.

On this journey,

We will be remembering our connection to the stars.

For we are stars and come from star dust.

Every part of our being,

Every part of this earth,

And every part of this universe comes from stars.

To begin,

Lie down flat on your back with your spine in one straight line,

Palms facing upward.

Making sure you are comfortable and warm as we settle in to journey through the stars.

Feeling the weight of your body against the floor.

Feeling into 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.

Beneath you,

Reaching down into the soil,

Is a star.

The earth star.

Allow roots to grow from the flat of your body down to this earth star.

Its bright rays pierce through the soil and pierce through your body.

The star,

Entangled in your roots,

Is carried further and further downwards as your roots seek out the core of the earth.

Wrapping themselves around it and anchoring you firmly on the earth's surface.

The star explodes.

Its rays stretch to the surface of the earth,

Wrapping you in its light.

You are firmly held in the bright light of this soil.

Star dust is what you are.

This light reaches to the skies,

Reaches up to the universe,

An explosion of light.

You can see yourself lifting each hand in amazement as you watch the light emanating from each and every pore.

All that you can see around you is light.

You are light.

You are made of stars.

Bringing your attention to your breath.

Your breath carries the light made up of star particles.

Inhaling deeply,

Deep into your belly,

Feeling the breath wash around your body.

And as you exhale,

Relaxing and sinking back into the firm hold of the earth.

Inhaling that pure white divine light into every cell.

And as you exhale,

Letting go.

Continue at your own pace.

Relaxing now into your natural breath.

Curiously observing your breath.

How does it feel entering your nostrils?

Can you feel the air passing the back of your throat?

Become aware of the movements in your body that the breath causes.

Your chest slowly expanding and contracting.

Your belly rise and fall.

As you breathe in the starlight and breathe out any toxins,

Cleaning and clearing your star casing.

We are going to begin the practice of Yoganidra.

During this practice you will be asked to repeat a sankalpa.

A Sanskrit word meaning intention.

This intention,

When said throughout the process of Yoganidra,

Is said to embed deeply into the rich earth of your subconscious mind.

In this session we will work with the sankalpa,

I am light.

And as you say these words,

I am light.

Feel yourself light up from the inside.

And see that light coming out of every pore,

Spreading across the earth and into the universe.

I am light.

Remember this sankalpa for when it is needed.

For now repeat to yourself,

I am doing the practice of Yoganidra.

I will remain awake.

I will stay still.

I am doing the practice of Yoganidra.

I will remain awake.

I will stay still.

Moving back to your breath.

Beginning to notice the temperature of air as it enters and exits your nostrils.

What difference do you notice as you inhale and exhale the air?

Pay attention to the sounds you hear.

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 it for what it is.

Coming closer into the room where you are.

What sounds do you hear?

Pay attention.

Again,

Do not try to name.

Just like a new burst of stardust,

You are curious about the sounds.

Coming even closer.

What sounds do you hear from your own body?

Can you hear your breath?

Can you hear your heartbeat?

Can you hear your blood?

How do these sounds feel in your body?

Sense into your light body.

Right now,

Repeat the Sankalpa,

I am light.

You will repeat it three times.

Each time with emotion.

Feeling that light rushing through your body into every cell and out of every pore.

Reaching across the earth and into the universe.

Joining with your ancient home and your ancient lineage.

I am light.

You will now begin a conscious rotation of your body.

Bringing awareness to each and every part.

Filling it with starlight.

As you hear the name of each body part,

Mentally repeat it.

Quickly move along as the voice moves.

Do not stay on any one body part.

Your whole body.

You are starlight.

With such awareness of every cell permeating with light.

You will now go on a journey to visit your brothers,

Sisters and family of eons into the universe.

Visiting your family of stars up,

Up,

Up.

And away you go into the universe.

You see yourself drift up entering space.

The first star you meet is bright,

Red and familiar.

The sun.

You feel its heat starting to radiate right throughout your body.

You are so close to the sun.

The closest you have ever been in this lifetime.

Can you feel how hot your body is becoming?

Feel the sun's heat permeating your skin and coursing through your body.

It is so hot.

You are almost beginning to sweat.

You see the sun god Helios riding a golden chariot right around the sun.

He waves to you as he blesses you with the sun's light.

Right at your groin you feel the heat entering.

This bright red star pierces your body at the root chakra,

Flooding your body with heat and light.

You become so hot.

As your body is being flooded with solar energy.

Feel it now.

You thank the sun god Helios for his healing and his blessing.

And you continue on your journey.

You set out across the universe,

Journeying through the stars,

Using their light as roadways through the endless space.

In the distance,

You see an orange star.

You feel movement in your sacral chakra,

Located two inches below your navel center.

This orange star,

You feel it tingling inside your own body.

How could it be?

You remember that you were made of stars and eternally connected to them.

You are connected to this beautiful orange star,

Radiating its power,

Its light and its healing directly into your sacral chakra.

Who is that you see?

You notice there are a group of men gathered.

They call themselves the herdsmen and they guard this constellation.

You ask for safe passage,

For you wish to see this one orange star in the constellation.

They see you as one of them and allow you to enter.

You make your way over to a god named Arcturus.

Arcturus,

A god known as a guardian,

A watcher.

He has been watching you all this time.

Not only from the beginning of this journey,

But from the very beginning of your time on planet Earth.

As he knows,

You too are forever connected.

Arcturus blesses you with his protection,

Radiating orange light deep into your sacral chakra.

Invoking a protection of the universe through the mantra,

Ad Guray Namay.

You repeat it to yourself three times.

Ad Guray Namay.

Ad Guray Namay.

Ad Guray Namay.

You thank Arcturus and you leave him,

For you know there is much left to explore on this journey.

What else can this universe provide for you?

You thank the herdsmen and you leave.

You're back on the highway of the universe,

Riding through the light.

And in the distance,

You see a yellow star.

A yellow star.

You suddenly feel a pull from your navel center.

You look down at your belly button and see a core extending outwards and reaching towards the star.

Getting you closer and faster at the speed of light.

The core becoming thicker as you draw nearer to this yellow star.

You begin to see a chorus of angels,

Hand in hand,

In a circle,

Dancing around the star.

Seeing you,

They sing out to you,

Call out to you.

You cannot understand what they are saying,

For they are not speaking in words.

And yet,

It's as if your body can feel their sound.

You can feel their angelic tone,

Traveling along the core from the yellow star and diving deep into your navel center,

Your cosmic connection.

You feel their light,

Their light language coursing into your belly button and filtering out into every cell of your body.

How wonderful.

You thank the angels for their song.

And you move on.

The cord loosens and retracts.

Allowing you to run,

To run through the universe once more as the cord dissipates.

Up ahead,

You see a green star.

Unexpectedly,

Your heart begins to swell with joy.

A green star,

Part of the Libra constellation.

You immediately meet the guardian of this Libra star.

This guardian offers you a piece of counsel.

My dear child,

If I may.

When a Libra loves,

They love with their entire soul.

Now,

Open your heart and receive.

You graciously open your heart and receive the guardian's love.

The love of the Libra.

The green light of the star begins to pour into your heart center.

As you feel love run into every cell of your body.

So much love.

You feel waves of love washing throughout your body from top to toe.

Entering every bone.

Every tissue.

Every muscle.

Every organ.

And flowing within your blood.

You are blessed and bathed in love.

Relish in that feeling filled to the brim with love.

You thank the guardian and you continue on your journey across the vast universe.

You see in your sights seven blue stars.

And with that sighting you feel chills in your body.

Intense cold light is radiating from the seven stars.

As you move closer you begin to feel the coldness in your throat.

This cold light is piercing every bit of your throat.

Colds entering your throat and creeping into your body.

As you get closer these seven blue stars take on the form of seven sisters.

They call themselves the Pleiades.

And sometimes even go by the name the Water Girls.

They have a message for you.

They remind you just as water ebbs and flows so does life.

So does nature.

This time too shall pass.

Release all your worries.

Let them go with the cold,

Cold light.

The seven sisters will hold your troubles here for you and transmute them into the bright white light.

As you feel your worries begin to leave your body as you give them over to the Water Girls.

You begin to feel lighter and lighter.

So very,

Very light.

You start to float more effortlessly through space.

Your body moves easier and more quickly.

Feel how light your limbs are.

Feel how light your body is.

You thank the Pleiades,

These Water Girls and continue on your journey through the universe.

Far in the distance you see some children playing.

They have this indigo aura around them.

As you begin to move closer you feel the area between your eyebrows activating.

Third Eye Chakra activating.

These little children who call themselves the Indigo Children do not communicate by words.

They communicate telepathically.

They tell you of the secrets of the children and you watch as they play in wonder.

You cannot help but smile.

So much fun,

Laughter and awe.

You feel their energy pulsating through your body.

This light,

Playfulness,

Happiness and joy feel it course through your body.

This gift from the Indigo Children.

A remembrance of simpler ways,

Accessible always.

They have one last gift for you,

A sweet.

They hand the sweet to you and as you place it in your mouth you realize just how sweet it is.

As you suck on this sweet your mouth begins to salivate.

The juice runs down your throat,

Into your belly and all around your body.

The sweetness,

The gift of the Indigo Children.

As you wave goodbye you move on,

Continuing on the highway of starlight.

A magical place this universe.

You see in the distance a purple wave,

A purple tidal wave.

You can't get out of the way quick enough so you stay.

The violet wave approaches at great speed.

And washes over you,

Around you and through you.

You feel it entering through the top of your head at the crown chakra.

Its violet light quickly moves throughout every inch of your body.

All the colors of the rainbow you have encountered today.

Together these colors combine to produce pure bright white light.

You see it now,

You look down at your body and all you see is white light coming out of every pore.

It's like you're looking down at a star and you remember,

I am light,

I am a star.

And in this knowledge you feel so safe,

So satisfied,

So heavy.

You begin to sink down,

Down,

Down,

Like a feather making its way slowly and gently from this starry space back into your body,

Back onto earth.

As you lie here safe on earth,

You feel the light shining out of every part of you.

Behind your eyelids you see bright white light.

And you feel heavy,

So heavy,

Feeling each and every part of your body 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 earth.

You begin to remember what you were doing just before the beginning of this Yoga Nidra session.

You begin to think back to what you were doing an hour before this practice began.

What were you doing two hours before this practice began?

What was the first thing you did this morning?

How did you feel when you woke up this morning?

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?

What did you have for your breakfast?

Can you remember what you had for breakfast the day before?

All of these questions,

How present are you in the moment?

Coming back into this present moment,

Can you remember what the room you were lying in right now looks like?

What is hanging on the walls?

Are there pictures,

Paintings?

Can you describe them?

What color are the curtains?

Are there any patterns?

What about the floor you were lying on?

What does it look like?

How observant were you?

Remembering once more your sankalpa,

Mentally repeating it three times after this voice.

Repeat with emotion,

Feeling your body light up as you say it.

I am light.

Thanking the stars and your guides for this beautiful journey tonight.

Paying attention to your breath.

Becoming aware of the movements in your body that the breath is causing.

Feeling the weight of your body against the floor once more.

Feeling the weight of your arms and beginning to wiggle your fingers.

Feeling the weight of your legs and beginning to wiggle your toes.

Gently stretch your body in whatever way feels good for you.

And slowly,

When you are ready,

Opening your eyes.

Thank yourself for participating in this yoga nidra practice.

For reawakening the knowledge that you are made of stars,

That you come from stars and that you will forever be connected with the stars.

I've been your guide,

Mythological goddess.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

I look forward to the next.

Namaste.
