Transcript
So you want to be lying on your back,
On your mat.
Your body should be straight from head to toe with legs slightly apart and your arms a little away from your body with the palms of your hands upward if it is comfortable.
Make minor adjustments until you are completely comfortable because during yoga nidra there should be no movement.
And close your eyes and keep them closed until you are told to open them at the end.
And now take in a deep breath and as you breathe out allow the cares and worries of the day just to flow out of you.
Breathing in that refreshing air,
Just feel it filling you and then breathe out letting go,
Releasing anything that might trouble you.
Breathing and relaxing.
Breathing and coming into your own natural flow.
Now we set our resolution called the sankalpa as the underlying intention of this session of yoga nidra.
This resolution is a pledge to live in accordance with our hearts highest purpose.
If you have a sankalpa that you use regularly please use that.
But if you do not then consider this simple statement,
I release all that does not serve my good.
Now silently repeat your resolution three times.
And now become aware of your body lying here.
Be aware of the whole body.
Be aware of your body where it is touching the mat beneath you.
Notice your feet,
Legs,
Buttocks,
Your back,
Your arms and your head.
Notice where they are touching the surface below you.
And notice your breath as it comes in the nostrils and it goes back out.
Breathing and being aware of your body.
Being completely aware of your body in this time and this space.
However you experience your body is fine.
If you are aware of the solidness of flesh and bone that's perfect.
If you experience the body as sensation or feelings that is also perfectly fine.
You cannot do this wrong.
And now we will survey the body and I will guide you.
You need do nothing but mentally follow along.
Don't move your body,
Just become aware of each part of the body I mention.
We begin at the head.
Put your attention at the top of your head,
At the crown.
And become aware now of the forehead,
Eyebrows,
Eyes,
Your ears,
The cheekbones.
Notice your nostrils and the breath at the nostrils.
Feel the air passing into and from your nose.
Notice your mouth,
Your lips,
Your tongue,
The teeth,
The palate,
Your cheeks and jawbones and chin.
Notice the neck and throat,
Your shoulders,
Your upper arms,
The elbows,
Forearms,
Your wrists,
Hands,
Fingers and fingertips.
And now imagine inhaling through the tips of your fingers all the way up to the shoulders and exhaling back down the arms and out the fingertips.
Imagine breathing in this way.
And put your attention on the fingertips and become aware of your fingers and the hands,
The wrists,
The forearms,
Elbows,
Upper arms,
Shoulders and the upper back and the chest.
And concentrate at the center of your chest,
At the heart level,
Right in the center of your chest.
Become aware of your diaphragm,
Abdomen,
Your lower back,
The pelvic floor,
Your hips,
Both hips,
Your thighs,
Knees,
Calves,
Ankles,
Feet and the tips of your toes.
And imagine inhaling from the tips of your toes all the way up your legs to your hips and exhaling down from the hips all the way out the toes.
Breathe like this,
Inhaling up from the tips of the toes and exhaling down the legs from the hips.
Now put your attention at the tips of the toes and now at your toes,
Aware of your feet,
The ankles,
Calves,
Knees,
Thighs and hips and be aware of your lower back,
The belly,
The middle of your back,
The abdomen and diaphragm,
Be aware of the upper back and now put your attention on your chest.
With your attention at the center of your chest,
Exhale and inhale completely.
Bring in a sense of peace.
Breathing from the center of the chest.
Breathing in and refreshing your body from this point and letting go of any stresses.
And put your attention now on your shoulders,
Your upper arms,
Lower arms.
Your wrists,
Your hands,
Fingers and fingertips.
And back to the fingers,
The hands,
Your wrists,
Forearms,
Upper arms,
Shoulders,
Neck,
Throat,
Chin,
Your jawbones,
Your mouth and your nose.
Be aware of the breath at the nostrils.
Notice the feeling of the air passing through the nostrils.
Bring your attention to your cheekbones and your eyes,
Your eyebrows,
Your forehead and the crown of your head.
On your next exhalation,
Imagine you are breathing down from the top of your head to the perineum at the base of the spine.
And as you inhale,
Imagine you are inhaling from the perineum up to the crown of the head.
As you continue breathing in this way,
Imagine that the breath is a thin milky white stream.
A thin white stream exhaled down from the crown and inhaled up from the perineum.
And as you inhale,
Imagine you are inhaling from the perineum up to the crown of the head.
You are exhaling a thin white milky stream of energy down from the crown of your head and inhaling the white stream up from the perineum to the crown.
Whether you see it or not does not matter.
Just know this stream of energy is actually there in the subtle body and it is responding to your will and your intention to move it.
Continue to exhale down from the crown and inhale up from the base of the spine,
Always imagining this breath,
This thin milky white stream of energy.
You are exhaling a thin white milky stream of energy down from the crown of your head and inhaling the white stream up from the perineum to the crown.
Now,
We will move your awareness through your body's energy gates.
Begin at the crown of your head and then the forehead,
The notch at the base of your throat,
The right shoulder,
Your right elbow,
The right wrist,
And the right palm of your hand,
The tip of your right thumb,
The tip of your right index finger,
The tip of the middle finger,
The tip of your right ring finger,
The tip of your little finger,
And the right palm of your hand,
The right wrist,
Right elbow,
Right shoulder,

Left elbow,
Left wrist,

Palm of the left hand,
Left wrist,
Left elbow,
Left shoulder,
Notch at the base of your throat,
And the center of your chest,
The right side of your chest,
The center of your chest at heart level,
The left side of your chest,
The center of your chest,
And the navel,
Lower abdomen,
Perineum,
Right hip,
Right knee,
Right ankle,
Right foot,
And the tips of the toes,
And your right ankle,
The right knee,
The right hip,
And the perineum,

And the left knee,
And the left hip,
And the perineum,
Lower abdomen,
Navel,
Center of your chest,
Notch at the base of your throat,
The forehead,
And the crown of your head.
Put your attention in the space between your eyebrows,
Right before your closed eyes.
Put your total focus in this warm,
Welcoming darkness.
Just breathe.
Imagine you were at the entrance of a dark cave.
Just imagine it.
At the entrance of a dark cave.
It is very dark,
But in the distance,
Imagine you can see a light,
A tiny light.
Deep within the dark,
You can see a light.
Imagine going towards that light.
And now imagine that you've reached the light,
And you find a staircase leading downward.
Looking down,
You see the source of the light.
There is a flaming light down the staircase.
It is bright,
And it is inviting.
Move down the staircase,
Moving towards the light.
Let your attention be drawn towards the light.
This flaming light,
An eternal flame.
And within the center of the flaming light is a small golden egg.
Very small,
But very bright.
A small golden egg.
Tiny,
As tiny as a mustard seed.
Very tiny,
But very bright.
Tiny golden egg within the flaming golden light.
Symbols.
Little self.
Big self.
Concepts.
Releasing concepts.
No flame.
No tiny egg.
No self.
Silence.
Spaciousness.
Peace.
