Open Yet Contained, Expansive Yet Protected - Dream Song Yoga

I invite you to rest deeply into this DreamSong Yoga Nidra. Find a comfortable place to lie down, be warm and cosy, maybe with something covering your eyes, and let go into full relaxation and rejuvenation. My Nidra sessions always include a healing song (or songs) for you to receive into your heart. Most of these songs are improvised at the moment.

So,

Really welcoming you here,

Really welcoming every part of you here,

Every part of your body,

Every part of your voice,

Every part of your breath,

Your spirit,

Your soul,

All that has been and all that is to come,

Welcoming the whole of you as a cosmic manifestation of spirit in the physical ship of the earth,

Welcoming every bone,

Muscle,

All your blood,

Ligament,

Tissue,

Space where the breath moves in and out,

Chambers in which to resonate,

The voice of your soul,

The song of your soul.

So,

Allowing yourself to really arrive here,

All of the parts of you here on this earth,

Inviting the spirits of these trees that surround us,

The squirrels and the birds and the deer,

To support you,

To hold you,

To give you that earthy bed on which to lay your bones and through which to let go,

In which to let go of anything you no longer need to carry with you.

So,

Arriving more and more in your breath,

The in-breath,

The out-breath and on every out-breath letting your body become more and more heavy,

Again letting go,

Again surrendering,

Again and again through the out-breath,

Through the exhale giving yourself like a gift,

Like a gift to the earth.

And during this practice of yoga nidra,

Inviting you to follow the sound of my voice as a golden thread to hold you in the liminal space,

Awake in the mind,

In the consciousness.

But you don't have to listen to every word attentively,

You don't really have to listen to what I'm saying at the end of the video,

You can listen to the sounds of the squirrels actually,

Just following the voice like a song,

Allowing the voice to guide you like a song.

So any sounds that you can hear casting your net of awareness out and pulling them in,

Allowing the sounds to come to you,

Through the breath arriving more and more in surrender to the earth.

And inviting the light of awareness to travel around the body,

This sleeping miracle,

This ship docked in the harbour,

Resting.

Of your beingness in the centre of your forehead.

Feeling that awareness light up on your left eyelid and your right eyelid,

On your left cheek,

Your left and your right cheek,

On the tip of your nose,

The top of your lip,

Your bottom lip and your chin.

The light of awareness,

Bringing consciousness to your left ear,

Your right ear,

Your throat.

To your chest,

Spreading like a warm poultice in your lungs,

Warming your heart at the centre of your chest.

Healing any injuries in your body as you come to them,

Just feeling the relaxed sensation of the warmth of love,

Healing any injuries in the tissue of your body.

Both legs,

Here and now,

Whole of the torso,

Both arms also,

Face and head,

Whole of the body,

Singing itself into being,

Accepting and surrendering,

Accepting all that is and surrendering to life itself,

The warmth of life,

Healing and soothing with a deep reminder,

That reminder that you are not alone,

We are not alone,

Surrounded by life,

Living and breathing through us,

The life of the earth,

Life of the sky.

Life of the earth and light of the sky.

You are not alone,

Full of light,

Life living through the earth,

As wild as the wind,

You are not alone,

And I am healing,

And I am seeing,

And I am moving,

The energy through my life,

My body,

My life,

Move through me,

Oh,

Oh,

Oh,

Oh,

Oh,

I am at one with the animals and plants,

I am at one as I dance my dance,

I feel trees around me,

Cause I am not alone,

I am one with the animals and plants,

I am one with the energy of my dance,

I,

I sing to the trees and the trees sing to me,

Cause I am not alone,

Oh,

Oh,

Oh,

My dance dances through me,

All my heart and my soul fills the trees I breathe in,

This life,

This life,

This energy moving through my body,

And I am space,

And space is me,

And I am the form and movement,

And I am empty,

And I am a god and a flower filling my heart,

Cause I know that I am not alone,

I am never alone,

And I am not lonely,

Right here,

Right now,

It's the only place to be,

And in this to be and in this place there is space to breathe space to be and I will come at all I fling open my windows and I let the light shine in cause I am not afraid of what light brings I welcome it all I fling open my windows and I let it all in,

I let it all in,

I let it all in cause I am not afraid of what light brings and the people that pass me by I greet them with an open heart and I welcome all of the gifts that come along maybe it's birds,

Maybe it's trees or maybe it's new friends blowing in on the breeze but I know that all is just perfect for me there is space and there is form and movement and grace and there is songs to be sung for I am not alone,

For I am not alone that garden of your heart allowing the rose there at the centre to bloom knowing that it is safe to open it's safe to open because there is a protective energy circling around you like a bubble like a magical permeable crystal fortress that allows the fragrance and sweetness of life and the sweetness of breath and friendship and song to dance through the walls and a garden there so abundant with life and blossom and simple,

Simple existence with no fear of being trampled because you are so utterly protected and you are guided,

Guided by the angels that surround you,

Those that whisper silent guidance and prayers of protection upon you all the time so in the depth of that allowing there is a holding like the boundaries of your garden so to deepen the breath in that garden to allow that breath to fill the heart for the depth of that breath to open and expand the petals of that garden to let in more,

To allow more in knowing that there is a protection,

A circle,

A boundary that you yourself take care of so in that way feeling whole as you deepen your breath so you allow that breath to fill your body,

Fill your chest you feel whole because you are both open,

Open,

Open,

Open to the gifts of life and you are contained also with a circle of protection that you yourself create with your consciousness and the power that you are so as you return to this space feeling yourself with every in-breath gathering up your protective field like a frequency that surrounds you,

A song even that surrounds you and where they do out-breath opening,

Rippling out the waves and tides of openness so feeling in that breath,

The in-breath and the out-breath feeling so deeply centred and balanced in your ability to open and welcome and your ability to protect yourself and contain the being that you are,

Gathering yourself,

Gathering yourself up concentrating the power that you are and yet relaxed simultaneously being whole,

Available and open,

Truthful and clear so with every breath coming back into this space,

Welcoming you the wholeness of who you are let it open,

Let it just be right from the beginning let it open,

Let it just be right from the beginning and all that I am is welcome here and all that I ever was is welcome to have all that I can be is already with me for all,

This moment is all I have,

I am that I am I am whole again,

I am whole again I am that I am,

I will sing again and all that life brings again will be wrapped up in my soul and dancing free I sing along to those furry trees and I'm dancing free and I'm singing along,

Singing my soul to all of life as I open up my garden,

Each petal unclothed or frozen to the sun as I open up the doors and windows,

I can see the light filling me as I stand,

As tall as a mountain,

I speak my truth in a song and as I call upon my allies,

They come running,

A circle surrounds me oh and as I dance free from the wind,

I am alive I am all that I could ever be,

Just me and now that I'm surrounded,

All is the light as they circle,

Circle me in protection circle me in protection and I have a thousand angels,

They are wishing me well and I have a thousand helpers,

They are guiding my way and I have a thousand ancestors,

Reminding me that I have been here before I am as old as the universe,

I am old,

As the earth as my dance came down,

I call on my allies,

They come running,

Surrounding me all of the animals,

All of the spirits of the trees,

They call on me and I am them oh oh oh,

Oh oh oh Sorry,

Sorry.

Chocolate?

It'sh.

Uhh,

Really hard,

Okay now.

.

.

UH,

Testing exactly how long it nature putting on a vat Right.

Feeling your feet again and your hands again.

Feeling your breath again and the sounds in this room,

The sound of my voice,

The sound of the trees outside.

Welcoming you back into this room and just,

I'm going to open the door but just don't need to move too quickly but I'm just going to allow some of the breath of this beautiful garden into the space.

Welcoming you with a song of the trees back into this space and not throwing this deep deep sense of rest away but keeping it there in your heart.

And keeping this specialness and the sweetness of these two beautiful songs that we created together here.

So continuing to deepen your breath,

Really deepen your breath.

This practice of yoga nidra is over,

Is complete.
