Welcome to this Yoga Nidra.
Yoga Nidra is a practice of deep relaxation and conscious sleep.
My name is Natalie and today I will guide you through this Yoga Nidra session around the benefits of bumblebee jasper.
If today you chose to tune in to the energy of bumblebee jasper,
There is surely a reason for it.
You might be looking to reconnect to your inner child.
You might be looking for some joy.
Connecting to bumblebee jasper can be very beneficial during times of stress or anxiety.
Bumblebee jasper will help you overcome limiting beliefs and boost your creative thinking.
It will also encourage you to take the initiative to move forward.
Now if you have a bumblebee jasper,
Feel free to place it near your solar plexus.
Your solar plexus is your third chakra and it is located just above your navel.
If it feels uncomfortable,
You can simply lay the stone next to you around your abdominal area.
If you don't have a bumblebee jasper,
That's not a problem.
I am connecting with the essence of bumblebee jasper while recording this Yoga Nidra and I trust that its energy will reach your energy field to the vibrations of my voice.
Now,
Find a comfortable position to start this Yoga Nidra session with me.
Lay on your back with your arms at your sides and your palms facing up.
You can close your eyes if this feels comfortable for you and take a few deep inhales and exhales.
Allow your body to relax with every exhale.
Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.
Inhale and exhale.
Let everything go.
Inhale through the nose and exhale.
You can even make a sigh noise and let everything go.
Feel the support of the earth beneath you.
Feel grounded in this present moment.
So it is up to you if you do have a bumblebee jasper close to you,
But know that while I will be recording this Yoga Nidra session,
I am holding a bumblebee jasper and its energy will go to your energy field as well.
Bumblebee jasper is known for its vibrant yellow color.
It is believed to bring joy.
It reconnects us with our inner child and it is linked to our solar plexus,
Awakening willpower and also the drive to create.
The two benefits that we will be focusing on today are reconnecting to the ability to spot opportunities and inspiration and helping you buzz back into your life with vibrant energy.
Now visualize a warm golden light surrounding you,
Creating a protective cocoon of positive energy.
Picture the space around you filled with the vibrant yellow glow of the bumblebee jasper.
Feel the warmth and the joy from this energy,
Creating a sacred and serene environment for your practice.
Take a moment to express your gratitude for this time that you've set aside for self-care and inner exploration.
Now it's time to set our sankalpa.
A sankalpa is a positive affirmation and this will reflect our deepest desires and intentions.
If you have inspiration to have your own sankalpa,
You can go ahead and lock it in and repeat it three times in your head.
If however you would be open to a sankalpa that I would be suggesting,
Then this is for you.
I am a beacon of joy,
Reconnecting with my inner child.
I embrace my creativity,
Awaken my willpower and drive to create.
I release all fear and welcome opportunities with an open heart.
I nourish my body,
Mind and spirit.
I am a source of inspiration,
Spotting opportunities for growth and transformation.
Now choose the affirmation that resonates the most with you or create your own.
Repeat it silently to yourselves three times with conviction,
Feeling how it resonates within.
And now let my voice guide you through different body parts.
You don't have to do anything except for listen to my voice and go with your intention to the body part that I will be mentioning.
