I'm so glad you could join me today.
Today's yoga nidra practice is for balancing yin and yang.
In the Daoist tradition.
The universe is a dance between two complementary forces.
The sun and the moon,
The sky and the earth.
One cannot exist without the other.
In your body.
This energy.
Are already present.
Yin and Yang are fundamentally inseparable.
The continuous transformation between them.
To maintain overall balance is so important in our health.
In this practice,
We explore the way of rotating consciousness in the flow of Yin Yang in our body.
The systematic realization is like the whole body massage to the nerve system,
Promoting the transformation and the dynamic balance of our natural internal yin and yang mechanism.
This practice is recorded live in the Backland Valley of Victoria's Alpine National Park.
You may hear the sound of nature,
Such as running water,
Singing birds.
So you might pause this video,
Adjust your earphones,
And get anything else required for your comfort.
Take a moment to ease into a relaxed and comfortable position on your yoga mat or in a bed.
Make sure you are away from interruptions.
And your spine is neutral and your whole body is supported.
And close your eyes.
Allow your mind to switch from thinking and doing to being in the valley.
We will start from progressive realization from a lower part of the body to upper part of the body.
Now tense up every bit of muscle on your feet and your legs Stretch your toes and then take a deep breath.
Fill up your lungs.
And when you breathe out,
Relax every bit of muscle on your feet and your legs Allow your feet,
Your legs to soften.
Sinking down.
Let's move on to hands and arms.
Tense up your fingers and form a tight fist into your palms.
And tense up the muscle on your arms.
Take a deep breath into your lungs.
And when you breathe out,
Release all the fingers all the muscles on your hands,
On your arms.
Sink down.
Softly,
Heavily.
Now let's move on to the face take deep breath in It's full on and when you breathe out,
Breathe up slowly,
Soften the jaw,
Hinges on both sides.
The upper and the lower teeth,
Relaxing them,
Allow the tooth gently touching let's take a final deep breath in And when we breathe out,
Soften the temples.
On both sides and both eyes.
Allow the eyeball to sink down.
Invite your eyesight looking into the darkness behind the forehead.
Just return to your normal brace feeling the natural breeze.
In and out.
Now bring your attention to the center of forehead Invite your Sankalpa to come into your mind.
A sankopa.
Is your heartfelt desire.
A wish from the bottom of your heart.
The ways you want to live your life.
If you don't know what Sankopa means,
Oh,
You are still working on yours.
I can temporarily use one of the below.
I'm resting deeply,
Allowing my body to restore,
To recharge.
So I surrender to the power of Yin and Yang.
I trust this race is exactly what I need.
Repeat your Sankalpa three times in your mind.
And resting deeply,
Allowing my body to restore.
To recharge.
I surrender to the power of yin and yang.
I trust this race is exactly what I need.
Now allow your ears to open.
To receive the most distant sound outside your environment.
Do not label them.
Just let them wash over you.
Slowly move your awareness to the sounds inside the room.
The home of Akita.
Own the sound of your own breath.
Allow your ears to open.
Receiving the most distant sound outside your environment.
Don't babble them,
Just let them wash over you.
Maybe you can hear the birds singing,
Chirping.
Maybe the running water.
That's the river flowing.
Slowly move your awareness to the sound inside your room maybe the home of a heater or the sound of your own breath.
Home.
The sound of my voice.
Withdraw even further inward,
Listen to the internal sound of your heart beating,
The rhythm of your life force.
We will now follow the concept of yin and yang in rotation of consciousness throughout the body.
We move from right,
That's yang,
To the left,
That's yin.
From top,
That's yang,
To bottom,
That's yin.
Imagine there is a dynamic evolving well of yin and yang in your body as your attention moves from one part of the body to the next under my guidance a soft warm glow is touching that part of the body massaging the nerves and inviting the transformation of yin and yang energy.

Slowly wake up your body Our bodies Yin and Yang are in a constant status of flux.
Waking up and starting your morning routine is a young activity.
It's about action and outward energy.
In contrast,
Wanding Dawn in the evening,
When the book of gentle stretching is in,
Is restorative and inward.
By developing mindfulness,
You can better attune to this subtle energetic shift.
Consciously choose activities that balance your current state.
If you had a stressful high energy young day you might intentionally choose a calming yin activity like a yoga nidra in the evening to restore your energy balance regular yoga nidra practice can enhance your self-awareness.
It allows you to listen to your body,
Your mind and spirit,
Responding with a practice that nurtures the energy you need the most.
