Yoga Nidra Night Sky
This divinely channelled Yoga Nidra is the perfect way to move out of your day and come to a place of rest. To become present in the moment and allow the body and mind to surrender to awareness. When we allow ourselves to move into awareness, we allow ourselves to simply become the witness.

Find a comfortable place to sit or lay.
A place where you can allow your spine to be straight.
Your palms facing to the ceiling.
Your feet slightly apart.
Begin by just letting go.
Of whatever has been going on for you today.
Placing that to the side just for now.
And allowing yourself to be here and present in this moment.
Let's begin by bringing awareness to the breath.
Awareness to the breath in the belly.
The inhalation.
The exhalation.
As you breathe in,
Allow the belly to rise.
And as you breathe out,
Allow the belly to fall.
Breathing in all of this calm energy that's been in you.
That surrounds you.
And letting go of any stress.
Anything that is worrying you.
Just allow it to fall away as you exhale.
With every breath that you take,
Allow yourself to become more and more present in this moment.
Know that you are completely safe.
And you are completely supported in this space.
Begin to now connect with your body.
And allow your body to rest.
Begin to notice the earth beneath your body.
This beautiful earth supporting you.
And holding you in this space.
Allow the whole body to completely relax.
Letting go of any stress.
Letting go of tension.
Tightness.
Discomfort in the body.
Feel Mother Earth.
Completely supporting you.
Feel her arms.
Her legs beneath your legs.
Her heart beneath your heart.
Allow yourself to receive.
Allow yourself to be held.
Allow yourself to be loved.

Relax.
Now your mind is sleeping.
Now your body is sleeping.
And all that remains is your awareness.
When we move into awareness,
We are no longer attached.
We are simply the witness.
Become aware of your body.
Aware of the space taken up by your body.
Aware of your body.
Aware of the space.
Aware of the space.
Body.
Space.
Now bring your awareness to your belly.
Become aware of the breath in the belly.
The rise and the fall of the breath.
In the belly.
Do not change the breath.
It is simply awareness.
The inhale.
The exhale.
Continue your awareness of the breath in the belly.
And start counting your breath backwards from 18 to 1.
Breathing in 18.
Breathing out 18.
Breathing in 17.
Breathing out 17.
Breathing in 16.
Breathing out 16.
And so on.
If you lose your way,
Or you reach zero,
Go back to the beginning.
Start again.
Now move away from the counting of the belly breath.
And bring your awareness to Chittor Kut.
Awareness to the place behind your closed eyes.
In front of your forehead.
As you deepen your awareness of this space before you.
The space begins to deepen.
Observe this space as if you're watching a movie.
Allow yourself to be a witness to the space before you.
Without attachment.
Observe this space before you.
With only awareness.
And now you can breathe.
And now you find yourself lying in your bed.
In your very own bedroom.
It is late at night.
And you are all alone.
But you are perfectly comfortable and warm in your bed.
You look up at the ceiling.
And where the ceiling once was.
You begin to see out into the night sky.
You feel the bed begin to rise.
The bed begin to float.
The bed begin to float.
Towards the night sky.
You float out of your bedroom.
And out beyond your home.
As you peer over the side of your bed.
You see all that is familiar.
Begin to drift further away.
You float higher and higher.
Into the night sky.
You're perfectly safe.
And you are warm and cosy.
As you begin to look all around you.
You notice the hundreds of stars in the sky.
Some of these stars shine brighter than others.
And some are so close that you can touch them.
You see the moon in the distance.
And the night sky is all around you.
You see this night sky.
As far and as wide as you can see.
And you are all alone.
And as wide as you can see.
You lay back in your bed.
And close your eyes.
And just allow yourself to float.
Allow yourself to float out here.
In this vast universe.
You feel light and weightless.
You feel as though you too are infinite in this space.
All of your cares and worries.
Just seem to have floated away.
This feeling of calm.
All through your body.
This feeling of warmth.
This feeling of surrender.
Allow yourself to simply be.
Here in this space.
Here in this space.
Here surrounded by universal energy.
Allow yourself to be.
Return your awareness back to Chidakash.
Return your awareness back to the inner space.
Begin to observe this infinite space before you.
What you see before you.
Is a projection of your subconscious mind.
Now remember the sankalpa you made.
At the beginning of your practice.
Repeat the exact same sankalpa.
Three times now.
And now.
Three times now.
And now bring your awareness back to your breath.
Back to the breath in the belly.
To the inhale.
And the exhale.
As we deepen the breath in the belly.
We begin to notice the space we have created.
Through stillness and breath.
The space we create when we surrender.
When we allow ourselves to be.
Become aware now of your body.
Aware of this beautiful body.
That allows us to move through this journey we call life.
Giving gratitude and thanks.
For our body.
Begin to become aware of your surroundings.
Aware of the earth beneath your body.
Aware of the noises around you.
The temperature of the room.
And when you're ready just slowly bring in.
Gentle movement to your body.
Bringing you back to waking awareness.
Feel free to just stay here.
In this space.
Giving gratitude and thanks.
For all that you are.
All that you have.
And all that you be.
Hari Om Tat Sat.

I love how long the body part awareness segment was- normally that portion is too short for me. Also loved visualizing the bed leave the space vs my body. Much easier to visualize somehow! Creative yet effective change! Thank you!

Really nice yoga nidra with thorough rotation of consciousness with floating. The end does bring you back rather than stay in the Nidra state but there is no bell so if you have fallen asleep, it shouldn’t wake you.

Thank you Helen for a beautiful practice. Woke in the middle of the night and couldn’t get back to sleep so put on your meditation and it helped my mind from racing with thoughts as I had to be present and connect with my body. I was able to fall back to sleep after listening. Thank you.
