Transcript

Welcome.

Welcome to this deep journey that we call Yoga Nidra.

Yoga Nidra is generally done lying down on the floor or even on your bed.

If you're not comfortable lying down,

Feel free to sit in a chair or come into any position that feels comfortable to you.

I invite you to use cushions,

Bolsters,

Pillows,

Blankets to make yourself more comfortable.

And an eye pillow over your eyes might be very soothing and calming for your nervous system.

None of these props are required.

The only thing that's required is that you find a comfortable position.

Make any final adjustments and come to stillness.

For the next period of time,

I invite you to allow my words to become your words as we enter this meditative journey together.

We're going to begin with the body scan.

As I mentioned a part of the body,

You don't have to do anything.

Just bring your awareness to that part of the body.

This is a systematic cycling through the body which allows the mind to settle and the body to come into even deeper relaxation.

Let your root take what it needs and silently say the words,

What is the wisdom from my higher self?

And then take in your whole body,

Encompassing all the chakras,

Encompassing the entire spine from the root all the way up to the crown of the head.

Back to the ebb and flow of your breath,

Back to your center.

You might say the words,

I am whole.

I am perfect just as I am.

Allow the energy of these words to bathe your body,

Your mind,

Emotions,

Spirit.

Become aware of the air on the surface of your body.

Become aware of sounds around you,

Near and in the distance.

And slowly with infinite care,

Begin to reawaken your body.

Perhaps by deepening the breath,

Perhaps by making small movement,

Stretches,

Wiggles.

Become aware of the support beneath you.

Notice how you feel.

Hold yourself with loving kindness for the beautiful,

Unique being that you are.

As you begin to reawaken from your session of yoga nidra,

Your healing session of chakra balancing,

Take with you the message,

I am perfect just the way I am.

I am whole.

I am complete.

I am one with all that is.

Thank you for sharing your practice with me.

Namaste.

Jai Bhagwan.

Reviews

This is a very thorough and relaxing yoga nidra. Thank you very much.

Lovely - really enjoyed sensing the space in and between my fingers, as well as the soothing chakra balancing.

Just what I needed. Precise and relaxing! Will return to it. Thank you!

So healing.

This healing meditation is exactly what I need right now I love the combination of body relaxation and chakra balancing. I've been using it to fall asleep and most times I'm asleep before the end! My only wish is that this exact meditation was re-recorded as there is a bit of stumbling over words. At first, this isn't a problem but as you listen to it more and more, you start to anticipate it and it's distracting to my meditation. Thank you for this wonderful meditation!

Wonderful practice, I feel complete and loved

Truly a deep and satisfying journey toward balance, openness and connectedness. Thank you for your gentle, effective guidance. I feel aligned and blissful. Namaste.

Really useful meditation for visualising the chakra. I liked the affirmations too.

Thank you for the combination of both yoga nidra and chakra alignment. So relaxing!

This is incredible. However, when you started on the first chakra, I feel into a deep sleep and slept great throughout the night. I can’t wait to do this again....and again. Thank you so very much.

Excellent combination of yoga nidra and chakra balancing. Thank you!
