Welcome to Soul Rest Yoga Nidra.
Welcome home.
It's time to be kind to yourself.
Lying back in comfort,
Let your eyes gently close and begin by affirming that you're now entering into a deep restful sleep.
As you affirm this,
Welcome into your body and mind a feeling of ease and well-being.
A sense that all is well.
Here in this moment,
All is well.
Allow your senses to open to the environment and the sounds around you.
The sensation of air touching your skin.
The sensation of your body touching the surface that's supporting you.
And welcome the feeling of your body breathing.
The various physical sensations that are present.
Letting go into the feeling of just being.
Being at ease throughout your entire body and mind.
Bring your attention to the sensation of your body breathing.
Just noticing without getting involved.
Like you're on a raft floating gently on a stream of sensation.
Noting your body breathing itself.
The coming and going of each inhalation and exhalation.
Your belly releasing with each exhalation.
Feeling yourself relaxing and letting go with each exhalation.
With each breath out,
Noticing the belly softening.
Releasing.
Letting go into the felt sense of ease and well-being.
Welcome and nourish the sensation of well-being.
Peace as you continue noticing your body breathing.
With each breath,
Welcome the feeling of well-being into every cell of your body.
