Welcome to this yoga nidra,
Like stardust on soil.
You can lie down and get comfortable and cosy,
Allowing your whole body and being to begin to settle,
Finding the most comfortable position for you today,
Lying on your back or simply reclining,
Just adjusting and adapting to what feels best for you right now.
Allowing a wave of comfort and relaxation to greet you now,
Effortlessly sweeping through your whole body,
Allowing the mind to begin to slow down and settle,
With the gentle intention to do so.
Let your breath be soft and natural in and out of your nose,
Allowing a sigh of release in the nose and out the mouth anytime that feels natural for you.
Inspired by the energy,
The idea of stardust gently falling on soil,
We welcome in a softness,
A serenity and a sense of peace,
Allowing your whole body to be,
We begin this journey,
Gently flowing your awareness from point to point,
Just relaxing and listening,
Bringing your awareness to just above the crown of your head,
And sensing into the crown of your head,
All of the sensations of the scalp,
The back of the head,
The bones of the skull,
The centre of the forehead,

And over to inside the left ear,

The top of the left ear,
The whole left ear.
Sensing the centre of the back of the head,
And resting the top of the neck,
The centre of the throat,
The lower neck,
The right collarbone,
The right shoulder,
And the shoulder blade,

The centre of the chest,
The centre of the throat,
The centre of the forehead,
Like stardust on soil,
Sensing this quality through your whole being now,
And just enjoying,
Allowing this imagery to move through you as you listen,
With soft,
Subtle awareness,
Letting it all be,
A full moon in a clear morning sky,
A full moon in a clear morning sky,
A city at sunrise,
Quiet and peaceful,
A city at sunrise,
Quiet and peaceful,
Music in the distance on a summer's night,
Music in the distance on a summer's night,
A shooting star,
A shooting star,
Sunlight on water,
Sunlight on water,
Thunder and lightning in the distance,
Thunder and lightning in the distance,
A cosy cabin on a rainy day,
A cosy cabin on a rainy day,
A mountain stream delicately flowing,
A mountain stream delicately flowing,
Stardust on soil,
Stardust on soil,
Stardust gently falling on soil.
Let yourself rest here now.
If you are drifting off to sleep,
You can let yourself peacefully drift and rest,
Nourishing yourself so effortlessly.
If you are returning to waking,
Slowly,
Gently trusting your own timing and your own knowing,
Bringing your awareness back into the centre of your being,
Feeling a freshness and aliveness,
And if you'd like to,
You can gently roll on your side,
Allowing all of these sensations,
All of this depth to slowly integrate and become you,
Allowing this essence of stardust on soil to emanate throughout your own atmosphere,
Your own way of being,
As you move through your day or as you drift into rest.
Thank you for listening.
