Yoga Nidra-Self Love & Accepting Love From Others

Hi,

My name is Krystal Einerson.

I am an EFT tapping and guided meditation coach.

Welcome to this Yoga Nidra practice.

Embracing self-love and welcoming love from others.

There will be some pauses throughout the Yoga Nidra session which will give you time for reflection,

But you will have my voice to guide you when we are ready to pick back up on our journey.

Begin by finding a comfortable position.

Generally we do this lying on our back.

You can be in a chair,

Whatever position is most comfortable for you.

Take a moment to adjust your body and get some wiggles out and find stillness.

Close your eyes and gently allow your breath to become slow and steady.

Breathing in through the nose for four counts.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Holding one,

Two,

And breathe out four,

Three,

Two,

One.

If you can repeat that breathing in through your nose,

Holding for two,

And then breathing out through your nose if that is comfortable,

Continue to do so.

We will begin with a body scan.

Begin by bringing your awareness to your toes.

The very tips of your toes.

Feel the sensation of life in each toe,

Allowing them to relax completely.

Now let your awareness move up your feet.

Feel the weight of your heels sinking into the ground,

Releasing any tension held in your feet.

Continue bringing your awareness and noticing any sensations up through your ankles,

Over your calves,

Your shins,

Pausing at your knees,

Allowing your lower legs and feet to feel heavy on the surface you are on.

Allow each part of your lower legs to relax fully.

Bringing your awareness up over your knees,

Feel the relaxation spreading up through your hips and thighs,

Letting go of any tightness or discomfort as you sink deeper into relaxation.

Allowing the muscles of your hips,

Your thighs,

And any muscles around your knees to relax and feel heavy now.

Your whole lower body feeling heavy now.

Allow any discomfort,

Pain,

Or tension to melt away from you and down into the earth.

Feel your abdomen rise and fall gently with each breath,

Releasing any tension with every exhale.

Let the relaxation and awareness flow through your chest and upper back.

Feel your heart space opening up.

Feel yourself getting ready to receive love and compassion here.

Melting any tension from your muscles into the floor or the surface beneath you.

Bring your awareness now to the tips of your fingers,

To your hands,

Your wrists.

Feel the muscles of them soften and let go of any tension they may be holding.

Wiggle your fingers a little bit to get any nervous energy out.

Shake your hands out here.

Moving your attention up over your elbows,

Your upper arms,

And your shoulders.

Feel them melting into the earth,

Completely relaxed and at ease.

Allow your neck to release any tension it may be holding.

Let your head become heavy on the ground.

You are completely supported by the surface beneath you.

Bring your awareness to your face.

Soften your jaw.

Relax your cheeks.

And allow the muscles in your forehead to smooth out.

Take a few moments here to feel your entire body completely relaxed and at peace.

Feel the cool air,

The sensation of cool air coming in through your nose as you breathe in deeply through your nose.

And the warm air flowing out either through your nose or your mouth.

Again,

Breathing in through your nose,

The sensation of the cool air,

Setting it free,

Releasing any tension.

Feel your whole body resting heavy on the surface you are laying on.

You are now ready to begin our journey of love and self-acceptance.

Yoga Nidra has begun.

Imagine yourself standing on a pier overlooking a pristine sandy beach.

This is your private beach.

The sand is the perfect color and the beach is the perfect temperature for you.

This is a place where you can feel completely safe.

As you walk toward the water,

You feel the sand or the soil beneath your feet.

It is warm and inviting here.

Like the earth has been waiting for you to just come and walk upon it.

Feel the earth's love radiating up through your feet,

Over your ankles,

Up your legs,

Your thighs,

Your hips,

Love flowing through your abdomen,

Your chest,

Down your arms to the tips of your fingers.

Mother Earth's love is flowing up through your neck,

All the way to the top of your head.

You are safe here.

Take a few moments to absorb the love of Mother Earth.

You will hear my voice again soon.

Feel free to find relaxation on the sandy beach here.

The temperature is just right.

The temperature is just perfect to your liking.

The gentle waves caress the shore and the salty breeze brushes against your skin,

Carrying with it a sense of tranquility and serenity.

You are safe here.

As you relax on the beach or the shoreline,

Either seated or lying down,

Visualize a soft,

Warm,

Glowing light at the center of your chest.

This light represents your capacity for love and self-acceptance.

Remembering to breathe naturally here.

With each breath,

Feel this light growing brighter and warmer.

The light is expanding to fill your entire being with a sense of warmth and compassion.

This light is giving you space and permission to accept yourself fully as you are right now.

Take a few moments here to find some compassion and acceptance and maybe even some love for yourself.

Take in the waterfront scene that you are in.

What does the sky look like?

What does the water look like?

Are there plants or animals around you?

This is your perfect beach.

This is where you feel safe.

Begin to move your focus onto you.

What can you find about yourself that you truly love and are proud of?

Try to find at least one thing.

Ask yourself if you can focus on that one thing more often throughout your day.

Is there something you absolutely love about yourself?

Is there something you just like about yourself?

Accept where you are with self-compassion and know that you deserve to have all the self-love.

Give yourself that permission to have love for you.

Take a few moments to feel grateful for this aspect of you that you love.

Now bring to mind someone that you love deeply.

This could be a friend,

Family member,

Partner,

Even a pet.

It could be someone from your spirit team,

A guide that you know is with you.

Visualize them standing in front of you on this beach radiating right back to you the love and affection that you feel for them.

This looks like pure love is shimmering off of them as they are sharing the love back to you.

There are no conditions to this love.

This is just pure love.

Take a few moments to revel in this love.

Feel the love that they have for you surrounding you like a warm,

Safe embrace.

Know that you are worthy of this love and that you deserve to receive it fully.

As you bask in the love of this person or this entity feel your own capacity for giving and receiving love expanding even further.

Allow yourself to open up to the possibility of giving and receiving love freely.

Be open to giving love without asking for anything in return.

Just putting your love out there.

Sit in this possibility for a few moments here.

Now visualize yourself surrounded by a circle of loved ones.

These may be friends,

Family members spiritual guides,

Pets whoever you feel are your people your entities that you love unconditionally.

These are the ones that you feel truly supported by.

If there's nobody that you can think of right now make it up.

Make your own circle here.

They could be your angels.

Whoever they are feel the warmth of their presence as they offer you their unconditional love and support.

Allow yourself to receive this love fully knowing that you are worthy of unconditional love just as you are.

Take a moment to bask in the feeling of being completely surrounded by love and acceptance whether you are a part of the circle or you are inside the circle.

How does this love feel in your body?

There is unconditional love here and it is all for you.

Know that you are deserving of all the love that the universe has to offer.

Take a few moments here to set a loving intention while you are within the supported circle.

You can set your intention for the rest of the day,

The week,

The month,

Whatever duration.

Make sure that your intention is very clear and very specific.

Take a few moments to really let your whole body absorb your intention and know that it already is.

Thank your circle for showing up for you today and set them free with gratitude and love.

If you'd like to give them a hug,

A high five,

An embrace,

Or any inspired action of thanks feel free to take the time to do that now.

Know that when you set them free you can always ask them to come back and create a circle for you.

Give your circle any messages you'd like to give and be open to receiving messages from them,

Whether you receive the message now or sometime in the future.

Allow the circle to slowly disperse and make your way back toward the entrance to the pier where you first started this journey.

Walk with a knowing that you are loved and supported by the earth,

By your loved ones,

By the divine.

You are held,

You are unique,

And you are beautiful.

Give yourself permission to believe this because you deserve it.

Feeling the ground under your feet as you turn and walk slowly back toward the pier.

You can take your time here.

Fully immerse yourself in your surroundings as you walk back.

Notice any changes in the color,

Temperature,

Smells,

Or sights.

Begin to walk back to the pier and you will hear my voice again in a few moments.

As we begin to bring our practice to a close,

Take a moment to thank yourself for taking this time to nurture and nourish your body,

Mind,

And spirit.

Know that you can return to this place of love and self-acceptance whenever you need to feel grounded and supported.

When you feel ready,

Start to wiggle your fingers and your toes.

Begin to deepen your breath.

Gently awaken your body from its state of relaxation.

Take your time as you gradually transition back to the present moment.

Yoga Nidra is now complete.

When you are ready,

Gently open your eyes and come back to the space around you.

Thank you so much for joining me for this beautiful Yoga Nidra journey.

Feel free to come back anytime to this beautiful private beach in your mind.

You are so loved.

Give yourself permission to accept it.
