Transcript

Welcome relaxation and self-discovery as we shift into the light.

The season of the Tha,

The warmth returns and the earth begins to awaken.

Deep within there is a stirring.

We are ready to embrace the energy of growth,

Of renewal as the cycle begins yet again.

All that we've held over the wintering months is now ready to shed.

The layers can be peeled back,

Revealing our lightness.

As we continue our transformation,

Just as the seasons transform,

We welcome renewed vibrance,

Purpose,

Passion.

The journey begins to ease that which has been in our way is now beginning to melt,

Just as Mother Earth begins her Tha.

Our focus turns sharper now.

It is ever more important to be gentle with ourselves during this time.

Allow the grace and fortitude that will empower us.

As the distractions fall away,

Heaviness releases.

We are left with a clear path ahead as we emerge from the darkness.

Surrender now as we begin the sacred practice of Yoga Nidra.

Give yourself permission to absorb the teachings as we travel the subtle energy bodies,

Which the sages and yogis have known as the Koshas.

Whatever your experience today is exactly as it is meant to be,

No right or wrong,

Your mind may chatter or distract.

Simply note thinking and return to watching your breath as you're ready.

This may be a continuous cycle,

Or you may fall asleep,

All which are perfectly fine as the healing and the nourishment you need will be received as you are.

Settling into your comfortable position,

Traditionally laying on your back,

Arms,

Legs,

Wide,

Or any shape which allows ultimate comfort,

As we'll be here for the remainder of the practice.

As your body dips into deeper brain states,

So will your temperature.

As the body grows extremely heavy,

Taking supports under the back of thigh and covering with a blanket may help you stay in this comfortable state of stillness.

Awareness now into the muscles of your legs.

Feel them release their grip as they grow heavy.

The arm muscles begin to soften into heaviness.

With every exhale,

The face releases any expression.

The jaw heavier as the tongue falls from the roof of the mouth.

And the eyebrows begin to melt,

Allowing yourself to be fully in this moment.

Notice any sounds far away out of this room.

What is it you can hear?

Moving within the room,

Sensing any sounds,

Vibration.

Moving deeper now within the body.

Experiencing your breath moving within.

The beating of your sacred heart.

Your life force at your very core.

Feel the body as it's being breathed.

The rise and fall of your chest.

This natural pattern of rise and fall.

This innate intelligence of the body being breathed as breath draws into the body.

And releases.

Sensing the body as it experiences breath.

As the body is being breathed.

Drawing breath in from the tips of your toes,

Traveling the top side of body.

And releasing down backside body.

This vibrant prana draws in through the toes all the way to the crown of the head.

And the old residual energy travels down the back body,

Out the feet.

This pure prana.

Drawing in from the toes to head.

And traveling down the back body,

Out the heels.

Breathing in what it is you'd like to bring into your life.

With every breath out,

Releasing what you were ready to let go of.

Breathing in the new.

Breathing out the old.

Breath now travels to the center of the rib cage.

Into the center of your beautiful heart.

And it is here you begin to reconnect into your truth.

And this is the truth of you that has always been.

It is here to remind you of your wholeness.

Your enoughness.

That you alone are enough.

That you are secure and safe.

The universe has always worked in your favor.

As you were valued,

You were loved,

You were all of this.

Somewhere along the way we are conditioned into believing that may not be true.

As it shows up in all areas of life,

Holding us from our truest potential.

It is time to hear your heartfell once again.

Reminding you as we claim your I am statement known as Sankalpa.

San connects with your highest truth.

Kalpa is the vow.

The truth of who you are and who you've always been.

Return to that knowing now by stating your Sankalpa three times in silence.

Traveling the layer of the physical body and the maya kosha.

Becoming aware of your body as it expands and contracts with your beautiful breath.

Aware of your beautiful energy.

Filled with this pure energy.

And bringing it back into the breath as we enter pranamaya kosha.

The layer of breath.

And bringing it back into the breath.

As the breath consciously chooses you.

Choose breath in this moment.

Connect with the flow.

As it fills into the chest.

Expanding into the belly.

Expanding and contracting.

Inhaling and exhaling.

Feeling the movement caused by the natural breath.

As the breath fills the body.

And washes away.

Begin to count the breath.

Beginning at 11 and working down to 1.

As you draw your breath in.

As you draw breath in.

And release it out.

Continue on your own pace.

No place to be.

No rush.

Enjoying this experience of breath.

Counting down.

Releasing the count now.

As the body is continued to be breathed.

Enjoy the space of the breath.

Heavy rain soaking your clothes through to the skin.

Growing wetter as you are soaking wet.

Drying your skin so much it begins to crack with the dryness.

Placing your hands on the coolness of the rock.

As the coolness radiates through your fingertips.

Moving up the arms and spreading along your body.

The coolness consumes your chest.

Your legs.

The whole body experiences the coolness of the rock.

As you become the same temperature as the boulder.

You become connected with it.

As your palms press against the rock.

As your palms press into the surface of the boulder.

The tension begins to give way as your hands now enter into the space of the boulder.

As you are pushed inside.

Slowly pulled through the surface.

The whole body is now inside this boulder.

Fully engulfed in cool granite.

Inside this granite exterior.

This stone barrier.

A sense of being caged in constriction.

Just enough room to move.

The coolness spreading throughout.

As you know there is much to be doing right now.

Feeling the restriction of this boulder keeping you from it.

Discomfort.

So quiet.

No sound.

Stillness is deafening.

Stretching your arms out on either side.

Back to the cool rock.

As the rock surrounds you all around.

Pressing the palms into this rock.

As coolness begins to travel the fingers.

Spreading throughout your whole body.

Ready to push past this feeling of stagnancy and heaviness.

Push your arms against the rock.

With all your might.

Pushing with all your will.

Leveraging your feet out in front against the rock.

Your back is pressed up against the wall.

Pushing in all sides.

Feet and hands in your back all pressed against the rock.

This coolness.

Pressing with all your might.

Calling all the strength you can muster.

Pushing as you gather your strength.

Feet and hands.

Your back.

Pushing so hard as the wall and the rock encasing you.

As you press wide open.

An incredible explosion of rock propelling outward.

As you are released from this granite cage.

As you are free.

The clouds above begin to part.

As this brilliant light shines down.

The sun beaming down upon you.

Your chest.

Warming into your chest.

Warming into your heart as it connects with this beam of sun.

As it fills the entire body.

What is it you wish to know?

Entering into silence so you may hear the wisdom.

Anandamaya Kosha.

Coming back into breath.

Deeper breath here.

Visualizing your room as you see the four walls.

The floor.

The ceiling.

Seeing all six directions at once.

See yourself laying there.

Laying in this room.

As you hover above your body.

Looking down upon yourself.

In pure adoration.

See yourself laying there.

As you send love to the self.

Pure love.

Love as you see yourself laying.

Drawing a breath in of pure compassion.

Releasing anything that needs to go.

Breath of pure love.

Release of any stagnant energy.

As your breath begins to grow deeper now.

As you return into this space.

You feel the weight of the body.

As it's being held and supported.

Aware of the temperature upon your skin.

Aware of yourself in this space.

As you return more fully now.

Guide your body to rest on your left side.

In this humbling gesture of rest and nurturing.

As we surrender into this moment.
