Transcript

Welcome to this Yoganidra practice.

My name is Rachel and today I'm here to invite you into a practice of deep rest and a seeking of truth.

During this practice you may wish to sit comfortably with plenty of support or lay yourself down with blankets,

Pillows and perhaps something to put over your eyes.

Find a safe and quiet space where you can get cosy and warm.

Begin to feel settled into your space.

Notice the edges of your body and feel if you need to adjust or lengthen any parts of you.

Feel your body symmetrical,

In balance from left to right.

Are there any parts of you still holding on?

Would it be okay to let them rest?

If it feels okay,

Allow for a deep letting go to ripple throughout your body.

Soften into your arrival and fill yourself in your surroundings.

The whole of you,

Filling this space,

All of you is welcome,

Just as you are.

Inhale and inhale through the nose,

Expanding within.

And allow for a long soft exhale to follow.

Cycle a few breaths like this through your system.

And notice the mind and body softening with each breath.

We now begin the practice of yoga nidra.

As we journey through the body,

Welcome each part into your awareness as if it is completely new to you.

Today's body scan will be a reintroduction to your body and you.

Allowing for new sensations,

Feelings and perceptions to arise as you move in and out of each body part.

The world is anew as are you.

Welcome the truth of what you are and who you are to fill your knowing with loving kindness.

Begin to feel into the right side of your chest,

Rib cage and lung.

Welcome these parts of you and anything that you notice.

And into your awareness,

Your whole right arm,

Wrist,

Hand and fingers.

Welcome what's here for you.

What does it feel like here?

Feel the right side of your stomach,

Pelvic area and hip.

What's new and arising for you in this space?

Begin to travel down the contours of your right leg,

Ankle,

Foot and toes.

What's here for you to discover in your right leg?

Invite the whole right side of your body,

Anew with sensation.

Existed and welcomed just as it is.

Now feel into the left side of your chest,

Rib cage and lung.

Welcome these parts of you and what do you notice here?

And into your awareness,

Your whole left arm,

Wrist,

Hand and fingers.

Welcome what's there for you.

What does it feel like here?

Feel the left side of your stomach,

Pelvic area and hip.

What's new and arising for you in this space?

Travel down the contours of your left leg now.

Ankle,

Foot and toes.

What's here for you to discover in your left leg?

The whole left side of your body,

Anew with sensation,

Rested and welcomed just as it is.

Feel the right side of your neck,

The left side of your neck,

The right side of your throat,

The left side of your throat,

The right side of your face,

Chin,

Mouth,

Nose,

Eyes,

Forehead,

Ear.

Notice,

Welcome,

Soften.

The whole right side of the head,

The left side of the face,

Chin,

Mouth,

Nose,

Eye,

Forehead,

Ear.

Notice,

Welcome,

Soften.

The whole left side of your head.

What's here for you in this space within?

New sensations,

Feelings,

Perceptions in this space within the face and head.

Allow it to soften and rest into itself.

All is welcome here.

Follow from the centre of the head down the bones of the spine,

Spreading your new found awareness into your whole body as you move from your centre outwards to the edges of your body.

Spread all the way out into the arms and legs,

Radiating a new found sense of presence from your centre,

Your knowing.

What does this newness of presence feel like?

Whole body shedding the old and brought to life by the new.

Whole body.

Welcomed.

Rested.

Whole.

Filled with loving kindness.

Where will this body,

A new,

Take you?

Who will you be as you walk into the future?

More yourself.

More centred in your knowing.

Your truth.

Expand the sense of self into the newness of the space around you.

Can you feel the shift in your vibration?

The space you occupy within and around you.

You are vibrating as one with the new energies surrounding you and this world.

You have found your frequency.

You have found your home.

Allow these energies to expand and fill all that you are.

Your path is clear into this new awakening.

Enter into the soft space of your third eye,

The centre of the forehead,

And deepen within this space.

Allow it to open up into a crystal clear vision.

Inside of you is a campfire.

The coziest of campfires you could imagine.

Under a canopy of the dark blue-black sky.

The luminosity of a big full moon bearing down upon the ground beneath you.

This campfire is surrounded by majestic forest,

Tall woodland trees,

And soft ground covered in a carpet of moss.

The air is crisp with the scents of pines.

A circular clearing shaped by log benches awaits you around the fire.

You get just close enough to the fire that you feel the heat penetrating your perception.

You make yourself comfortable either by laying down on a wooden bench or sitting on the ground with your back up against the log.

However you land in this place of stillness,

Gaze your vision up to the sky above,

Taking in the glow of the moon and the enormity of this ancient forest.

The trees becoming like figures of your ancestors.

The light from the moon engulfs you,

Filling you with a sense of protection and warmth.

The fire crackles in the foreground.

It's as though the earth and the skies are talking with one another.

They have awoken on this evening to illuminate the truth from within.

You now come to sit on one of the wooden benches and you notice the empty spaces around you.

Conjure in your mind a story you tell yourself that has made you feel less than or not worthy.

Place this story in its imagined form down onto the space to the left of you.

Now,

Directly to your right,

Place the truth you seek from this story.

Take your time to feel into the forest energies to help guide you to the truth of this limiting story you are telling yourself.

Place what you find to the right of you.

Now back to your left side.

Next,

Place a negative story about your childhood,

Perhaps the first that comes to mind.

A story that you carry with you.

If it feels okay,

Allow it to surface and then place down its visionary form to the left of you.

As you turn to your right,

Begin to rewrite the new truth that you wish to move forward with in your life about this childhood memory.

As you feel your way through this rearranging of truth,

Feel the light of the moon holding you in dear support.

As you turn back to your left,

As you're filling up the spaces to your left,

Begin to place down any negative thoughts around your current existence.

What are you telling yourself about your life right now?

Allow it to get clear and then sit it down beside you to your left.

You turn yourself to the right again as you connect with all that is good in your life right now.

All the ways that you are supported and you have enough.

Place this visual down beside you and all the ways in which you are taken care of.

Allow this to open a space within your heart for gratitude and loving kindness to form.

Focus on these feelings sending energy and awareness into expanding gratitude and loving kindness from your heart growing bigger and bigger each time you refocus on them.

You now turn to your left one last time as you take a look at all the thoughts,

Memories,

Beliefs you are carrying with you.

Begin to welcome this loving kindness as it overcomes the whole of the left side of you and the space around you.

Loving kindness vibrating through every story you place down to your left,

Completely giving their power over to your loving kindness.

The whole left side of you beaming with a felt sense of wholeness,

An integration of what was and what is now with loving kindness.

You shift your awareness to the right side of you.

You still have one last vision to place down next to you.

You take a loving breath as you begin to dream into your future six months from now.

Invite your wildest,

Most loving desires to surface and fill your whole self-water life in this vision for your future.

What do you feel?

See What can you hear?

Who are you with?

Where are you?

Bring this new future vision into the whole right side of your body and the space to the right of you.

Then you notice the loving kindness and gratitude beaming from your left side as it meets your future vision on the right side of you.

The two sides of you embrace each other,

Meeting in the heart space.

These two powerful energies joining together,

Manifesting as one.

The fire has been lit within and you feel the sparks of the flames ignite your truth,

Ignite your clarity and ignite your trust.

The stories you are living by no longer carry their weight.

You have transformed them in alignment of what truth lies within.

You are supported into this new future with loving kindness.

The fire burning bright,

Crackling,

Burning away the illusions you carry and igniting your heart centered truth.

You turn to the fire in front of you and gaze lovingly into its flames.

You thank these flames for illuminating and burning what is no longer of service to you and your best self.

Your hands then meet at your heart center and you feel the pulse beat,

Fire within.

And you thank these flames for reminding you of your truth,

A truth that burns with loving kindness as its fuel.

You begin to sense back into your third eye center.

As your vision begins to blur and fade away.

And with full presence in your whole body.

And know a vision is only as powerful as your willingness to feel it throughout your whole body.

Feel into your future vision.

Change yourself of it once again.

And allow a deep soulful breath to sweep through your body.

And with your exhale sigh and allow the breath to release with ease.

The practice of Yoganidra is now complete.

If you wish to you can squeeze your fingers into the palms of your hand.

Perhaps you wish to roll your head gently from side to side.

Whatever you need to fully awaken,

You may do it now.

And when you're ready,

Roll to your favorite side.

You can stay on your side as long as you wish.

But if you are ready to come up to sit,

I will meet you there.

Sometimes it takes a fire to burn through our illusions and a flame to unite us with truth.

Wherever your journey is in this life,

Allow it to be in the direction of loving kindness.

Thank you for practicing with me today.

May your flame be forever loved.
