Welcome to Embody Nidra.
Travel the energy bodies known as the koshas.
Nidra systematically travels these koshas layer by layer,
Inviting deep release,
Allowing the brain to dip into alpha state.
And this is the lucid dream like state that we are naturally in twice a day.
Once as we drift off to sleep,
And again as we rise from our slumber,
Trusting your experience is exactly as it's meant to be.
No right,
No wrong.
Each journey may be different.
You may sink into the teachings or fall asleep.
You may struggle with thoughts distracting you.
All are exactly as it should be.
When you remember,
Come back to breath.
You will receive the teachings you are meant to.
The yogi teachings of Aparigraha,
Releasing all attachment here.
Allowing yourself to be fully in this moment.
Letting go of the physical body.
Letting the mind release and surrendering in to receive.
Tune in to the rise and fall of your chest.
Rise and fall.
Staying with this beautiful flow of prana nourishing within the body.
Chest rises,
Chest falls.
And our sacred practice of yoga nidra now begins.
Notice sounds far away,
Outside of this room.
What can you hear?
And tune into the sounds within the room.
Moving deeper within the body.
Hear your breath.
Moving within.
Sense the beating of your sacred heart.
Your life force.
This beating at your very core.
Connect with the breath as it travels into the center of the ribcage.
Into the center of your beautiful heart.
Begin to connect back into your truth.
This is the truth of you that has always been.
It is here to remind you of your wholeness.
Your enoughness.
That you alone are enough.
You are safe.
You are secure.
The universe is always working in your favor.
You are valued.
You are loved.
You are all of that.
Somewhere along the way we are conditioned into believing that this may not be true.
It begins to show up in all areas of life holding us from our true potential.
Begin to hear your heart vow.
Receive it now.
Reminding you.
As you claim your I am statement known as sankalpa.
San connects with your highest truth and kalpa,
The vow.
The heart holds a memory like no other.
The truth of who you are and who you've always been.
Sat chit ananda.
The true you.
Return to that knowing now by stating your sankalpa.
Three times in silence.
I am.
I am.
I am.
And so it is as it has always been so.
Journey through the first layer of the physical body anamaya kosha.

Awareness at the center of the chest.
Arriving into the layer of breath.
Pranamaya Kosha.
Coming back into breath as you consciously choose breath in this moment.
The intelligence of breath as it breathes you.
Connect with the flow filling into belly.
Expanding into chest.
Contracting.
Inhaling and exhaling.
Feeling the movement caused by natural breath.
As the chest expands.
Contracts with breath.
And counting the breath backwards starting at 31.
Working down to 1.
And if you lose count beginning again.
Every inhale.
Every exhale.
Counting down.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.

Continuing on in no rush.

And releasing the count now.
Wherever you were just be in this nourishing natural breath.
As the body continues to be breathed.
Sensing the space of the breath.
How the body moves with breath.
Becoming aware of the space surrounding the body.
And how the space surrounding you is being moved by breath.
Aware of the space surrounding the body.
Moved by breath.
And arriving at the emotion layer of Manomaya Kosha.
Awareness moves to the center of the chest.
Staying in the seat of witness.
Completely safe.
Observing.
As body begins to dip into temperature.
Cooling off.
Body becomes cold.
So cold as it begins to shiver.
Experience cold.
And from deep within the chest this brilliant warmth begins to fuel spreading outward throughout the whole of you.
Warming.
Warming into the bones and muscles.
All the way down to toes and fingers.
Nose.
This fiery heat building and radiating from your very core.
Experience heat.
Eyes become heavy.
Sinking into their sockets as the jaw is pulled to the earth.
Shoulders melt down.
Legs heavy as boulders.
Body is pulled by the magnetic force of the earth.
Arms like lead.
So heavy.
Bones begin to lighten as muscles and tissue release.
Arms and legs feeling pulled to the sky.
Forehead.
Cheeks.
Hair.
All pulled to the force of the moon.
Becoming light.

Experience the taste of saltiness.
And now sweetness as you experience sweet honey.
Dense chocolate.
Pure granules of sugarcane.
Sweetness.
And now both together.
Experience both sweet and salt together at the same time.
Salted caramel.
Salt and sweet together.
The duality.
Staying with my voice.
Releasing into a neutral space.
Arriving into the wisdom body of Vijnanamaya Kosha.
Eyes travel the dark expansiveness of the third eye.
The dark canvas behind the eyelids.
Chi to cash.
Trusting in the seat of witness.
Images and sensations arise.
Then release.
Moving to the next.
Simply observing.
Noticing reactions.
And moving on to the next.
The clear night sky.
Soft plush blanket.
Fresh buttery popcorn.
Sun warming your skin.
Waves crashing.

Sweetness of honey on your tongue.
A clock ticking.
Cold breath on a winter day.
Ice cubes filling a cup.
A church steeple.
A warm hug.
A bright light.
Bright light.
Light.
And with each breath,
Allow this light to expand.
Expanding.
Filling your entire body with warmth and radiance.
With each breath,
This light expands more brightly,
More fully throughout your whole body.
Breathing this light flowing through your veins.
Revitalizing each cell.
Energizing from within.
As this light continues to expand.
See it expanding beyond the boundaries of your physical body.
As it creates a luminous aura surrounding you.
Wrapping you in this beautiful light.
And with your attention on this radiant light,
Imagine yourself standing in front of a mirror.
Gaze into your own eyes.
And notice the reflection of your true essence.
The embodiment of your strengths and potential.
As you look at yourself,
Feel these affirmations connect within.
I release all limiting beliefs that no longer serve me.
I embrace my strengths and talents.
I embrace my strengths and talents,
Knowing they are gifts to be shared.
I step into a life of higher potential.
Filled with abundance and joy.
I am worthy of all this success and happiness that comes my way.
Feel the truth of these affirmations resonating within you.
Allow them to penetrate deep into your subconscious.
These deeply held thoughts and beliefs begin to shift.
Embrace the power of your strengths and potential.
Knowing that you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to.
And now imagine a blank canvas in front of you.
And this canvas represents the infinite possibilities that lie before you.
A vibrant array of paints is before you.
Deep,
Rich,
Masculine colours.
And soft,
Flowy,
Feminine shades.
With each breath,
Imagine painting your life's masterpiece.
Drawing in the duality of both masculine and feminine energies.
Colours of your strengths and potential.
Visualize yourself stepping into this vibrant,
Abundant,
And joy-filled life that aligns with your true essence.
See yourself in this life.
Claiming it as you continue to paint this masterpiece.
What does this life look like?
And what does this life feel like?
Brushing away any doubts or fears as they dissolve.
Trust in the process.
Surrendering to the flow of your own potential.
Trust that you are guided and supported every step of the way.
Feel the union,
The balance,
And harmony as they merge together within you.
Notice how they complement each other.
Creating a sense of ease,
Wholeness,
And completeness.
Embody this newfound equilibrium.
Knowing that both the feminine and masculine are essential parts of your being.
Stay here in this vibration.
Entering the bliss body of Anandamaya Kosha.
Soak in the stillness.
Receive this harmonious wisdom from your yin and yang.
The dual nature of your core energies.
What wisdom do they hold for you?
Beginning to bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Awareness returns to the body.
Feeling the connection beneath the body.
Your weight upon the ground.
The gentle rise and fall of your breath.
Lengthening the breath.
Wiggling fingers and toes.
Breathing in empowerment.
Aligning with your strengths and potential.
Trusting in your abilities.
Embracing your uniqueness.
In inner knowing,
You have the power to create this life of high potential.
Arriving more fully into your body.
This breath begins to lengthen,
Deepen.
Taking a full body stretch.
Guiding yourself to rest on your side.
Resting in the fetal position.
Honoring this position of rest and nurturing.
Surrendering here.
Receiving.
Taking a moment to express gratitude for yourself.
For dedicating this time to reset your limiting beliefs and embracing your strengths.
Know that you are worthy of a life filled with abundance,
Success,
And joy.
