Welcome to this Yoga Nidra session.
My name is Nathalie and today we will be working with the energy of azurite.
Azurite is a deep blue crystal linked to the third eye chakra,
Ajna chakra,
Located between your eyebrows.
Azurite is known for its ability to enhance your intuition and inner wisdom,
Helping you experience a deeper connection with yourself.
This crystal is especially supportive for those who feel different,
As though they don't really belong anywhere.
It reminds us that our uniqueness is our strength and that we are always connected to the greater whole.
If you have a piece of azurite with you,
You can place it on your third eye chakra,
Just above the center of your eyebrows during this meditation.
If you do not have an azurite,
Know that as I guide you through this meditation,
I will be holding an azurite crystal in my hands.
The energy of this crystal will be transmitted through my voice and the vibration of the words,
So you will still benefit from its healing power,
Even without physically having it with you.
Now,
Lie comfortably on your back,
With your arms resting slowly by your sides and your palms facing up.
Let your entire body grow heavier with each breath,
As if you're sinking deeper into the support beneath you.
Close your eyes if it feels safe to you,
And feel yourself relaxing more and more.
We will now begin with a detailed rotation of consciousness,
Moving your awareness through each part of your body.
Simply allow my voice to guide you.
Now bring your awareness to your right hand.
Feel the tip of your thumb,
Your index finger,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
And pinky.
Feel the soft palm of your hand,
The back of your hand.
Now bring your attention to your wrist,
Your forearm,
Your elbow,
And your upper arm.
Feel your right shoulder,
Your armpits,
The entire right side of your body.
Let your awareness move down your right hip,
Your thigh,
Your knee,
Your chin,
Your ankle,
And your foot.
Feel each of your toes now,
Your big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
And fifth toe.
Now move your attention to your left hand.
Feel your thumb,
Index finger,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
And pinky.
Bring your awareness to the palm of your left hand,
The back of your hand.
Now bring your awareness to your wrist,
Your forearm,
Your elbow,
Your upper arm.
Feel your left shoulder,
Your armpits,
And your entire left side.
Gently let your awareness flow down your hip,
Your thigh,
Your knee,
Your chin,
Your ankle,
And your foot.
Feel each of your toes,
Your big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
And fifth toe.
Now shift your attention to the back of your head.
Feel the crown of your head,
Your forehead,
The space between your eyebrows,
And let your attention flow to your temples,
Your right one,
Your left one,
Your right eye,
Your left eye,
Your nose,
Right cheek,
Left cheek,
The space between your nose and your lips,
Your upper lip,
Your lower lip.
Bring your awareness to your mouth.
Make sure your tongue is relaxing in your mouth.
Bring your awareness to your chin,
Your jaw,
Your neck,
Your throat.
Bring your attention to your collarbones,
Your right collarbone,
Your left collarbone,
Your chest area,
Your heart,
Your lungs.
Feel your abdomen,
Your lower belly,
Your hips.
Feel your pelvis resting on the ground.
Feel your back,
From the upper back down to the mid-back,
Your lower back,
All the way to your tailbone.
Now feel your entire body as a whole,
Fully relaxed,
Fully connected to the earth beneath you.
And now is the time to choose your sankalpa,
Or intention for this meditation.
It will remind you of your inner strength and uniqueness,
And allow the energy of azurite to support you as you select one of the following affirmations.
I trust my intuition and inner wisdom.
My uniqueness is my greatest strength.
I am connected to the universal energy around me.
I find my place in the world exactly as I am.
I am deeply connected to my true self.
Now repeat your chosen sankalpa three times silently within.
Trust that you have picked the right sankalpa for you right now.
Let the words become a deep,
Powerful intention,
Resonating throughout your entire meditation and through your entire being.
And now imagine that you're standing in a vast desert,
Under a deep blue sky,
Shimmering with the energy of distant stars and planets.
In the distance,
You see a mysterious mountain,
Glowing with the deep azure blue.
This mountain radiates the energy of azurite,
And you are drawn towards it.
It feels almost magnetic.
As you walk towards the mountain,
You feel how every step brings you closer to your own inner truth.
When you reach the foot of the mountain,
You find an opening in the rock,
As though the azurite is inviting you to enter.
Inside,
You find a crystal chamber filled with glowing deep blue azurite stones,
Softly pulsing with light.
It's as if the stones themselves are breathing,
A rhythm that your own breath begins to follow.
As you look around,
You decide to sit down.
As you settle into the space,
You feel a deep connection with the energy.
The azurite acts as a mirror,
And you see yourself in your purest form,
Free,
Unique,
And fully connected to the universe.
Now feel the energy of azurite opening your third eye.
Maybe you feel the space between your eyebrows tingling.
Be open to the clarity and the insights you are receiving.
Allow this energy to flow through your body,
From the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.
And feel any sense of isolation,
Any feelings of not belonging,
Slowly dissolve into the cosmic energy around you.
You are not alone.
You are an essential part of the greater whole.
And stay here for a while,
Bathing in the light of the azurite.
Allow yourself to rest in this truth.
You are unique,
Exactly as you are meant to be,
And your place in this universe is perfect.
And just be open for whatever comes up,
Whatever emotions are coming up,
And make space for yourself while you allow all the negative affirmations,
All the negative self-doubts to be dissolved here in this mountain.
Know that you are unique.
You are not alone.
You are connected to everyone.
You are worthy.
You are seen,
And you are loved.
And slowly the light of the azurite begins to soften,
And the space around you starts to fade.
Gently you return to the here and now,
To your body.
Bring your awareness back to the space where you are in right now.
Bring your awareness to the noises that you hear.
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
And gently start moving your fingers and your toes.
Start moving your hands,
Your feet.
Maybe you feel like taking a deep stretch all the way overhead.
Try to maintain with your eyes closed.
And gently bend your legs and roll over to one side,
The left one or the right one,
Using one of your hands as a pillow for your head.
And while you're lying there in fetus position,
Take a moment to thank yourself.
Staying with your eyes closed,
And gently,
With the help of your hand,
Push yourself up into a seated meditative position.
Take a moment to feel how you are right now.
Do you feel the calm?
Do you feel the clarity and the strength of your uniqueness?
Know that you can always call upon the energy of azurite to support you on your inner journey.
Repeat your sankalpa one more time in silence,
And when you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
Thank yourself for this deep journey within,
And for connecting with your inner wisdom and uniqueness.
Until next time,
Namaste.
