Welcome to this yoga nidra for self-love.
Find a comfortable position lying down,
Allowing your body to be fully supported.
Close your eyes and begin to settle into the sacred space of inner exploration.
Take a few deep breaths,
Allowing each exhale to release any tension or urgency from your day.
Notice how your body naturally wants to soften and surrender.
There's nothing you need to do,
Nowhere you need to go.
This is your time to rest,
To reconnect and to remember who you truly are beneath all the stories and judgements.
I invite you now to turn your attention to the inner sensations of your body,
Feel the innate aliveness that pulses through every cell,
Every fiber of your being.
This vital life force is undeniable,
It flows through you without effort,
Without your permission.
Feel it like a pure vibration of the body just as it is.
This is the energy that has carried you through every moment of your life,
That force that beats your heart and breathes your breath.
As you are opening to this life force that is living through you,
Allow yourself to touch into your heart space.
Feel the warmth,
The openness,
The tender vulnerability that lives here.
Feel your heart's deepest desire,
Not what you think you should want but what your heart truly longs for.
Ask yourself how does it live through you,
Your purpose,
Your values,
Your meaning?
Allow yourself to feel this,
Not think it.
Let it be a felt sense,
Not a cognitive answer.
Feel what you are feeling.
Let your heart remain open,
Soft,
Receptive.
From this heart-centered place,
Touch into a heartfelt intention for this practice.
Perhaps to explore awareness itself or to feel something abiding as a love or to embrace all parts of yourself with compassion.
Whatever arises is perfect.
Open to what is.
Let go of the need to know or to understand.
Simply set your intention with love and affirm it silently to yourself.
Now welcome in a sense of deep ease.
Feel yourself being deeply nourished by this moment of rest.
Find a visceral sense of ease and peace somewhere in your body,
Perhaps in your belly or flowing through your limbs.
This is your inherent ease of being.
Always available.
Always here.
You don't need to create it.
Simply recognize it.
Welcome in the felt sense of your mouth,
The lips,
The tongue,
Resting softly.
Feel your jaw releasing any hold tension.
Notice the inner ears,
The delicate spaces filled with pure sensation.
Sense your nose,
The gentle flow of breath.
Your eyes soft behind closed lids.
Feel deep inside your head the inner spaces,
The forehead,
The skull,
The back of your head.
Feel your whole head alive in sensation,
Held in awareness.
Sense the inner walls of your throat,
Soft and open.
Feel sensation flowing in your shoulders like gentle streams.
Let this awareness of love stream down through your arms,
The upper arms,
Forearms,
Into the center of your palms,
Your fingers,
From shoulders to fingertips,
Your hands,
Arms,
Shoulders,
All alive with sensation.
Feel the loving attention here.
Turn your awareness to your whole torso,
The upper torso around your heart,
The middle torso around your solar plexus,
The lower torso around your belly.
Feel your whole torso like a column of sensation,
Shimmering pure vibration.
Feel the sensation radiating inwardly and outwardly.
Feel your whole body,
