New Moon yoga nidra for Bhagwamalini.
Prepare for the practice of yoga nidra by lying on your back in shavasana.
If shavasana is not appropriate,
You can sit on a chair or on the floor,
Perhaps with your back against the wall.
Take whatever position your mind,
Body,
And spirit tell you is an appropriate position for your guided relaxation practice today.
Relax your hands and body with the palms facing up for receiving or down for grounding.
Eyes can be closed or open with a soft gaze if you're tired or depressed.
Slowly inhale and exhale through the nose.
As you inhale,
The belly rises.
As you exhale,
The belly falls.
Completely relax the body from head to toe.
Relax all organs,
Muscles,
Bones,
Cells,
Nerves.
On the inhale,
Inhale positivity,
Goodness,
Happiness,
Joy,
And serenity.
On the exhale,
Exhale negativity,
Anger,
Anxiety,
Stress,
And tension.
Feel more and more relaxed.
Any thoughts coming in the mind,
Acknowledge and then let go.
Tonight the moon is new.
It's the dark disk of the moon.
This is the time when the moon is situated between the earth and the sun.
And the illuminated part of the moon faces the sun and the dark side faces the earth.
The moon goddess of tonight is Baga Malini.
She comes the first night after the new moon.
She follows her sister,
Kanishwari.
She is an aspect of Lalita.
Her name means flowering Yoni.
Inhale mentally saying flowering.
Exhale mentally saying Yoni.
Do this at least two more times.
Tonight is the night to be generous with others and yourself.
Everything you do will come back to you multiplied.
Avoid any anger or greed.
This is the perfect time for germinating ideas.
When the moon is new,
It makes a connection with the sun.
This convergence creates a tremendous force.
The powerful combination of the sun and the moon's energy helps our wishes come true.
This is why we set intentions at the new moon.
The new moon represents rebirth,
Renewal,
And new beginnings.
It is during the new moon that we should begin new projects and activities.
The energy of this moon assures us that they will be completed with success.
The new moon is a time for introspection and looking within.
Let's begin the rotation of consciousness through the body to connect with our true self.
Imagine a pitch black night sky with no lights.
The dark sky of tonight's new moon.
See the body suspended like a constellation that has not yet been illumined.
A dark constellation that is suspended in the sky.
The constellation that is suspended in the sky is the body.
A body part will be named and when it is named,
Place a star on that body part,
Leaving it to twinkle there.
Place a star on the right hand thumb.
Index finger.
Middle finger.
Ring finger.
Pinky finger.
Palm of the hand.
Back of the hand.
Wrist.
Forearm.
Stars at the elbow.
Upper arm.
Shoulder.
Armpit.
Place stars at the side of the right ribcage.
Right waist.
Right hip.
Stars at the upper leg.
Knee cap.
Lower leg.
Ankle.
Heel.
In step.
Stars at the sole of the foot.
The top of the foot.
The right big toe.
Second toe.
Third toe.
Fourth toe.
And fifth toe.
And now the whole right side of the body is twinkling and filled with stars.
And bring the stars to the left side of the body and place the twinkling star on the left hand thumb.
Index finger.
Middle finger.
Ring finger.
And pinky finger.
Stars at the palm of the hand.
Back of the hand.
Wrist.

And stars across the left big toe.
Second toe.
Third toe.
Fourth toe.
And fifth toe.
And now the whole left side of the body is twinkling and filled with stars.
Stay awake and aware and place a new moon,
Tonight's moon,
The dark disk of the moon at the top of the head.
A crescent moon at the forehead.
A half moon at the throat.
A full moon at the heart center.
A half moon at the navel.
A crescent moon at the sacrum.
And a new moon at the tailbone.
And now see the body twinkling and filled with moons and stars.
See the body twinkling and filled with moons and stars.
And now release the moons and stars into the sky,
Into the universe,
Knowing that they're there to watch over you.
And also knowing that we're beings of light and we're made of star stuff.
And now let go of the body rotation and bring awareness to the breath.
Bring awareness to the natural breath.
Breathing easily and naturally,
Not trying to change anything.
Cream is the most powerful mantra to connect to the divine mother.
It is considered on par with Aum for the goddess.
It refers to the cosmic heart and can be used for all names and forms of the goddess.
Cream is pure undifferentiated consciousness and the creative power of the infinite creator.
Each letter of the mantra Cream represents the different stages of manifestation from the formless to the subtle body to the physical body.
All these stages together are the goddess.
Chanting Cream will align you with Lalita Devi,
A primordial creativity and the power to manifest the vision of the heart.
Cream increases our aspiration and receptivity to divine light,
Wisdom and truth.
Its pure vibration also has the ability to heal us.
Begin inhaling thinking Cream and exhale thinking Cream.
H R E E M or H R I M.
Inhale thinking Cream and exhale thinking Cream.
Stay with the practice of mentally chanting Cream.
Continue to mentally chant Cream.
Now let go of the practice of chanting Cream and come back to natural breathing.
Bring awareness to the Chitakash,
The mind screen in front of the closed eyes.
Notice if there are any patterns or colors there.
Bring awareness to the Chitakasha,
The mind space in front of the closed eyes.
And in this space see her there,
Bhaga Malini,
The goddess of the flowering Yoni.
Beautiful red Bhaga Malini sits smiling on her lotus flower.
She is three eyed and six armed.
In her left hands she carries a night lotus,
A noose and a sugar cane bow.
In her right hands she holds a lotus,
A goad and flowering arrows.
Bhaga Malini has the power to attract the three worlds,
The worlds of desire,
Form and formlessness.
She wins over all enemies with her beauty,
Strength and love.
A goddess of fertility,
She assists women in successfully getting pregnant and assures pregnant women safe delivery of their children.
Bhaga Malini facilitates everyone in realizing the birth of their dreams and aspirations.
She incubates our ideas safely in her universal womb.
Bhaga Malini encourages our creativity,
Growth and development.
Tonight call on Bhaga Malini to help you blossom.
Where do you need more personal growth?
What parts of your life are now dormant and have been waiting to flower?
Where can you bring more beauty into your life?
Which of your ideas need a safe place to incubate?
Take some time to commune with Bhaga Malini,
This goddess of the flower,
Nyoni,
This lunar nitya,
Aspect of Lalita.
And now say goodbye to Bhaga Malini.
Let her fade into the Chittakas knowing that you can meet her again later tonight or next month on the first evening after the new moon.
And now bring awareness back to the Chittakas,
The mind space in front of the closed eyes and let go of the visualization practice and become aware of the natural breath.
Bring awareness to the natural breath.
As you inhale,
The belly rises.
As you exhale,
The belly falls.
Inhale belly rises.
Exhale belly falls.
And on the inhale,
Inhale positivity,
Goodness,
Happiness,
Joy and serenity.
And on the exhale,
Exhale negativity,
Anger,
Anxiety,
Stress and tension.
And on the inhale,
Inhale the waxing moon and all its forms and phases.
And on the exhale,
Exhale the waning moon and all its forms and phases.
And let the universe take care of you.
And see once more the moon goddess supporting,
Guiding and blessing you.
And begin to wiggle the fingers and the toes.
Roll the wrists and ankles one way.
And then the opposite direction.
And take any kind of intuitive movement the body is asking for,
Being mindful of your environment.
And then find yourself in a fetal position lying on the left side.
Letting the right nostril be open to begin to energize you.
Breathing in and out with awareness.
Bring awareness to that right nostril and the right nostril breathing.
Perhaps closing off the left nostril with a finger.
Perhaps the index finger.
And breathe with the mouth closed through the right nostril.
And now let go of the nostril and say some words of kindness mentally to yourself like good job or I love you.
If this is difficult to do,
Imagine speaking to yourself as a small child.
Or imagine you're channeling the voice of a beloved ancestor.
And they are speaking to a younger version of yourself.
And when you're ready,
Push yourself up to a comfortable seated position with the palms at the heart center and Anjali mudra.
Or you can use any other mudra that you've learned that feels appropriate for tonight's practice.
Maybe yoni mudra,
Shakti mudra,
Ita mudra.
And join me for the chanting of cream for lalita Devi will take a deep inhale and on the exhale will channel cream.
The mantra of manifestation.
Deep inhale.
Free.
A UFOs away.
