Namaste.
I'm Rosalie and welcome to this short Yoga Nidra.
To begin,
Lie down and find your most comfortable position.
Use any props you might need to feel warm,
Cozy and cocooned in your own Yoga Nidra nest.
Now take a big inhale and sigh it out.
And again.
One more.
With every exhale,
Allow any tension to drain from the body,
Letting go of any tension in the forehead,
The jaw,
The shoulders,
Your whole body melting into the support of the surface beneath you.
Now bring your awareness to your heart space and call in the Sankalpa for this particular practice.
I am vibrant and full of energy.
Now repeat this to yourself and really feel it through your whole being as you say it.
I am vibrant,
Full of energy.
Now bring your awareness to the top of your head and let your attention flow to each part of your body,
I name it.
Allowing a wave of relaxation to spread downwards through your whole body.
Bring all your awareness to the top of your head,
The whole scalp moving down to the forehead,
The eyes,
The cheeks,
Your tongue,
Your lips,
Your jaw,
Your whole face.
Resting deeply.
Moving down the neck to the shoulders,
Through the upper arms,
Elbows,
Forearms,
The palms of your hands,
All the way down to the tips of your fingers.
Feeling both arms,
Both hands resting deeply.
Your heart space flowing down through the belly,
The pelvic bowl,
Your sacrum to the hips.
Wave of relaxation flowing through the thighs,
Knees,
Lower legs,
Ankles,
Soles of your feet,
All the way to the tips of your toes.
From the crown of your head to the tips of your toes.
Your whole body resting deeply.
Notice the natural flow of your breath.
Waves of breath flowing in as you inhale.
Imagine filling yourself up with pure,
Radiant energy.
Exhale releasing any old,
Tired energy.
Inhale energizing,
Recharging.
Exhale releasing.
Continuing like this for a few more rounds.
Now let it go back into your heart space and call in the sankalpa for this particular practice.
Repeat this to yourself and feel it through your whole being as you say it.
Simmer here for another breath or two,
Noticing any shifts,
Any benefits you might have gained from this short practice.
Notice your energy level.
How do you feel?
What is different from the beginning of this practice?
And when you're ready,
Take a deep breath in.
When you're ready,
Slowly begin to awaken the body,
Gently moving your fingers,
Your toes,
Taking your time.
Thank you so much for being here with me today.
