So welcome wherever you are,
Whoever you are.
This is Yoga Nidra for connecting to Mother Earth.
So laying yourself down now.
Letting yourself down.
Settling down.
Welcome home to yourself.
Settling down on the surface beneath you.
There is the surface just beneath you.
The supports that hold your body.
How might it be to feel a little deeper to the ground beneath these supports?
How might it be to feel the Earth,
The Earth herself way down deeply?
As if your awareness could travel through the soils of the Earth,
Through the bedrock,
All the way through to the warm core of the Earth herself.
How might that be?
The Earth is so glad that you are resting.
She welcomes you home into your rest.
The Earth is so glad that her beings are resting.
So glad that you've chosen to rest.
Welcome home lovely.
For as you rest,
The Earth may speak to you through feeling or thought or sound.
As you rest,
The Earth may speak to you again.
So how would it be to listen?
Through feeling or thought or sound?
Body resting on the Earth.
Speaking in the voice of Mother Earth,
She says lay your bones down.
Lay your tired bones down.
Give up your weight.
Offering your weight to the Earth.
Offering the weight of your body back down to the Earth.
Speaking in the voice of the Earth,
She says offer me your worries.
Offer me your worries.
Lay your worries down.
Lay all your worries down.
She'll gladly take them from you.
Speaking in the voice of the Earth,
She says offer me your dreams.
Your big dreams and your little ones.
All the dreams that you hold in your heart that you sense are only yours to see.
Offer those dreams to me.
Lay your dreams down.
Resting in unconditional love.
Resting in unconditional love.
As if you could be wrapped up in a warm hug.
Feeling the Mother's embrace like a warm hug.
From your head down to your heart.
Feeling that warm embrace.
From your head down to your heart.
And through the shoulders and the arms.
Feeling warmth in the palms of your hands.
And through all the fingers.
Feeling that warmth wrap from fingertips through arms and heart.
It wraps around from the back of the heart.
Through the sides and the front.
Sensing the heart beating here.
Pulse of life.
The very center of the source of your life.
Pulsing here like a rhythmic drum.
Offering the life blood.
Rich and red that courses through every part of you.
From head to toes.
Sourced right here in the heart.
The greatest gift of the earth.
Right here from the heart.
And this warmth travels down through the belly.
All the way down through the belly and the pelvis.
Wrapping the pelvis in warmth.
From the front of the pelvis and the right side.
And the left side.
The left side and the right side.
Back of pelvis.
Warmth.
As if you were held by a loving hand.
In the back of the pelvis.
Down through the hips and thighs.
Through the knees and shin bones and calf muscles.
And ankles.
Tops of feet and soles.
These soles that kiss the earth with every step.
These toes that feel the grasses and the sands.
Between the big toes and the second toes.
Third toes,
Fourth toes and little toes.
These toes that know mother earth so well.
From head to toes.
Feeling the warmth.
From head to toes.
Feeling the warmth.
Simply resting here with nothing to do.
Receiving.
I will look upon this land as mother.
Her body and her breath so strong.
From the mountains to the deep deep waters.
It's mother.
We are children of her ancient secrets.
Children of her ancient secrets.
Her power and her mystic ways.
No matter where we go.
We never leave her.
Our mother.
Our mother.
Our mother.
From the river song to old old country.
Her music while it comes so full.
Let us quiet down now and listen closely.
Let us quiet down and listen closely.
To mother.
To the womb of all sing my praises.
Mother of the dark and light.
To the womb of all sing my praises.
Mother of the dark and light.
Outside and in.
I only sing of our mother.
Our mother.
Our mother.
The steam rising up from the core of the land.
With these lessons recited will I ever understand.
With these lessons recited will I ever understand.
She washes me gently.
Takes my hand in her hand.
Whispering the secrets of the pride and the plan.
Chances delivered through the palm of her hand.
Hope for the needy in the chain of command.
Steam rising up from the core of the land.
With these lessons recited will I ever understand.
She washes me gently.
Takes my hand in her hand.
Whispering the secrets of the pride and the plan.
Chances delivered through the palm of her hand.
Hope for the needy in the chain of command.
She's the mother of all.
She's the mother of all.
Giving it back to the mother.
She's the mother of all.
Giving it back to the mother.
She's the mother of all.
Giving it back to the mother.
She's the mother of all.
The mother.
The mother.
The mother.
Resting peacefully now.
Beloved children of the earth.
Sensing the earth holding you.
Just as you are.
The invitation is to bring your attention to your heart.
To be with the wisdom of the heart.
As we near the end of this yoga nidra experience.
Holding a little space to nourish the seeds of the heart.
To water these seeds with your loving awareness.
Integrating this process now.
Feeling the breath weaving through the body.
Perhaps taking a few deeper breaths.
Maybe rolling over.
Coming into a new shape.
Getting a little more comfortable.
Maybe even settling into a little nap.
Or a little sleep.
Maybe wiggling through the fingers and the toes.
Gently emerging.
Gently sprouting up.
Like the flowers in spring.
Gently opening back up.
No matter where you may go from here.
We'll seal this space with a little note of gratitude.
For this time that you've wisely chosen to rest.
In the palm of the earth.
Dreaming with the earth.
The practice of yoga nidra is now complete.
Thank you so much for listening dear ones.
Jai Ma.
Namaste.
Thank you.
Okay.
