Hello lovely people,
It's Nisha here from Joyful Living.
Hope you're well today.
So today's yoga nidra is going to be around the full moon as the next full moon in the UK is the 28th of August.
So I thought it'd be quite a nice one to do.
So let's get yourself really comfortable.
So find yourself in a comfortable position lying on your back.
And allow your feet to fall open.
Your arms to rest gently beside you.
Beside your body,
Palms facing upwards.
In a gesture of openness and receiving.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And gently sigh it out.
Again,
Breathing in calm.
And breathing out anything you no longer need to carry.
One final deep breath.
A nursery wax hail.
For yourself arriving completely.
Into this moment.
The next little while is your time to simply rest.
There is nowhere to go.
Nothing to do.
Nothing to fix.
Simply allow yourself to be held.
Coming to set your sankalpa,
Your intention.
It's time.
When what has been hidden is gently brought into light.
A time for illumination.
It is a wonderful time and opportunity.
To honour your growth.
Celebrate how far you've come.
And lovingly release.
What no longer serves you.
Without forcing anything.
Ask yourself quietly.
What am I ready to let go of?
Perhaps it is a belief.
Of fear.
An old story.
A habit.
Or simply the weight of carrying too much.
Then ask yourself.
What would I love to welcome into my life instead?
Joy.
Love.
Clarity.
Trust.
Allow one simple heart-belt intention to arise.
Repeat it silently to yourself three times.
As though planting a seed.
Beneath the light.
Of the May.
We now begin.
Rotating awareness through the body.
Simply listen.
Let your body sleep,
But your mind stay alert.
With your practice.
Starting on the right side.
Right hand thumb.
Fast finger.
Middle finger.
Ring finger little finger.
Palm of the hand.

The whole right side of your body.
Bringing awareness to the whole right side.

To the left.

Softening your jaw.

The chat.
Feel the whole body.
Together.
The whole body together.
Bring awareness now to your natural breathing.
There is nothing to change.
Simply Observe.
Notice the gentle rise of the belly.
And the soft form.
Imagine with every inhalation.
Silver moonlight fills your body.
Cool.
Calm.
Healing.
And with every exhale.
Any heaviness leaves your body.
Breathing in the luminous light.
And breathing out tension.
Now notice the sensation of heaviness.
Imagine your body.
Becoming wonderfully heavy.
Melting into the earth.
Supported completely.
Grounded.
And say.
Now gently invite the opposite.
Lightness.
As though your body is floating effortlessly beneath the moon.
Weightless.
Spacious.
And free.
Move between heaviness and lightness.
Without effort.
Now imagine yourself.
Standing in a peaceful landscape at night.
The air is warm.
The sky is clear.
Above you hangs a magnificent full moon.
Large.
Bright and radiant.
It's silver light.
Bathes everything in a gentle glow.
And you begin walking along a soft path.
Each step feels effortless.
Calm.
Peaceful.
With every step,
You become lighter.
Ahead of you is a quiet lake.
Its surface perfectly still.
The moon reflected like liquid silver.
You sit beside the water.
Breathing slowly.
Looking into the reflection.
As you gaze into the lake.
You notice old worries.
Beginning to appear upon its surface.
Old Fizz.
Self-doubt.
Straw.
Disappointment.
Let them drift away.
Floating further and further.
Until they disappear into the distance.
Feel the relief.
The spaciousness.
The freedom.
Now the moonlight grows even brighter.
This gentle light.
Pause over the top of your head.
Filling your mind with clarity.
Your throat with truth.
Your heart with love.
Your solar plexus with confidence.
And your belly with trust.
Your hips with creativity.
And your legs with stability.
Your feet with deep grounding.
Your whole body becomes radiant.
As though every cell remembers its natural light.
Sit quietly beneath this beautiful moon.
And receiving exactly what you need.
Now bring to mind something you are deeply grateful for.
Perhaps a person,
A place.
Allah Hussain your body.
Your breath.
Or simply this moment.
Allow gratitude to gently expand through your heart.
And notice how gratitude softens everything.
Feel it flowing through every part of your body.
Like moonlight.
Billing.
Every corner of your being.
Now return to your sankalpa.
Your heartfelt intention.
And repeat it three times.
With complete trust.
Knowing the seed has already been planted.
And allowing life to unfold naturally.
Slowly become aware of your physical body.
And notice your breath.
Notice the temperature of your surroundings.
The surface supporting you.
Become aware of sound.
Perhaps you want to wiggle your fingertips and toes.
Or you want to just gently drift off to sleep.
Whatever feels right for you.
Hari Om Tat Sat Hari Om Tat Sat Thank you for joining me.
See you next time.
