Welcome to this morning Yoga Nidra.
You can do this meditation while still in bed.
Make sure you're comfortable and close your eyes.
Take a few deep breaths and feel your body relax into the surface beneath you.
Thank yourself for starting your day with intention and breath.
And inhale slowly through your nose,
Feeling your chest and belly expand.
And exhale gently through your mouth or nose,
Feeling your body relax.
Allow this breath to move in and out of you,
Releasing any stagnant energy from the night or any dreams,
Any feelings.
Inhale again through your nose and exhale gently through your mouth or your nose,
Letting that energy dissipate.
And one more round.
Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale gently through your mouth or nose,
Letting that energy dissipate.
And allow your breath to return to a state of relaxation.
The breath is moving through your body and think of the energy you want to bring to your day.
Think of your intention and use this as a sankalpa for your Nidra state and for your day.
This intention is energy that will follow you throughout your day.
It can be,
I will be present or I am grateful or I am living with ease and grace.
Whatever your intention is,
Take a moment now to think of it and repeat it three times.
And now,
In this beautiful morning,
Bring your awareness like a beam of sunlight to your body.

And whenever you are ready,
Open your eyes and have a beautiful day.
