Welcome to this yoga nidra for coming home to yourself.
Find a comfortable position to lie down in with your arms and legs at your sides.
You may want to use a blanket as your body temperature might drop a little bit.
Allow your body to relax into the ground.
Now bring your awareness to your breath.
Notice the natural rhythm of your breath without trying to change or influence it in any way.
Simply observe without any judgment,
Your breath going in and out.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Begin to scan your body from head to toe,
Beginning at the crown of your head.
Notice any areas of tension or discomfort in your crown,
Forehead,
Your cheeks,
Eyes,
Ears,
Chin,
Your jaw.
Release any tension in your jaw,
Throat,
Chest,
Upper back,
Abdomen,
Mid-back,
Your sacral area,
Below your navel,
Your lower back,
Your pelvis,
Your thighs,
Knees,
Your shins,
Calves,
Ankles,
Your feet,
Your toes,
Moving up to your shoulders,
Upper arms,
Lower arms,
Hands.
Notice the relaxation that has arrived in your body.
Now bring your awareness to your mind.
Notice where your mind is at.
Any thoughts or emotions,
Simply observe them without judgment.
Use your breath as an anchor point.
When you notice that your mind wanders,
Now repeat the following intentions to yourself,
Silently or aloud.
I am safe and supported.
I am happy and fulfilled.
I am loving me.
I am safe and supported.
I am happy and fulfilled.
I am loving me.
I am.
I am.
Repeat these intentions a few more times if you like,
Until you feel a deep sense of inner peace.
Also feel free to use your own intentions here.
Continue to breathe deeply and relax.
Allowing yourself to be completely present in this moment.
When you are ready to come out of the practice,
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Take a few deep breaths.
And when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes and come back to the present moment.
Arrive back in your room.
Thank you for practicing here with me today.
Welcome home to yourself.
