This is yoga nidra for healing and recovering from illnesses,

Imbalances.

Begin by getting absolutely comfortable lying down on a bed or on the floor on a yoga mat in shavasana.

So you're lying on your back,

Arms slightly away from your body and feet about hip distance apart.

And if you need a pillow under your head or under your knees,

Be sure you have that available and have a blanket.

As we move through yoga nidra,

Your body temperature will tend to drop and you want to stay warm and relaxed.

Close your eyes and quiet your mind.

Be still.

Let go of all thoughts,

Worry and tension.

Give yourself fully to a higher power.

Relax,

Trust and let go.

Breathe in fully and exhale with a deep sigh.

And again,

Breathe in fully and exhale with a deep sigh.

And let go even more.

Feel a deep sense of peace and contentment.

Fill your heart.

Bring your body into awareness.

Recognize your body has been a trusted vehicle,

Creating accomplishments and contributions to the best of its ability.

Now it's time for your body to rest deeply.

Take another deep breath in and let go with another really big sigh.

Maintaining this inner awareness,

Gently begin rubbing the palms of your hands together.

And as you feel that heat,

Place your fingertips gently on your eyelids and the entire surface of the palms touching your face.

And now gently start massaging the face,

Fingers working from the eyebrows up to the hairline.

Moving out to the temples,

Circle the fingers at the temples.

Moving down to the joint of the jaw and along the jawline to the chin.

Massage the parenthesis of the mouth up to the bridge of the nose around the orbits of the eyes.

Moving to the ears,

Massage in front of and behind of the ears and maybe even a gentle pull on the earlobes.

Feel tensions and holding melt away beneath your touch.

Squeeze the back of the neck and perhaps even the shoulders.

And now when you feel that's complete,

Place the entire surface of the palms on the face,

Fingertips gently on the eyelids.

Drop all expression from your face.

Take a deep breath in and let go.

Take another deep breath in and let go even more.

And now release your arms to your sides.

Feel the impact flooding your whole body and your entire being.

Bathe in the sensations.

Enter the deepest state of letting go right now.

Release any struggle to make anything happen.

Sense all sensations.

Feel it all.

Resist nothing.

Maintain this inner stillness.

Adjust your body in a comfortable position.

But do not fall asleep.

You need to cover yourself.

Do that now.

Throughout this entire period,

Remain relaxed and motionless,

Alert and conscious.

Stay in touch with my guidance at all times.

Allow any disturbances,

External or internal,

To draw you deeper within.

In Yoga Nidra,

You enter the subconscious pranic field.

Allow your mind to merge and melt into the energy body and go beyond the boundaries of body and mind.

Now shift from thinking and doing to feeling and being.

Do absolutely nothing from now on.

Simply relax.

Drop into the deepest state of tranquility,

Stillness,

And peace.

Bring your attention to the third eye in the middle of your forehead between your eyebrows.

And give yourself permission to drop into relaxation and into stillness.

I'll guide you into subtler levels of your energy body using the straw breath.

So as you breathe in through your nose,

Fill your lungs fully and completely without straining.

And now start exhaling through softly pursed lips as if you were blowing through a straw.

Let your breath be a prolonged,

Steady stream and empty your lungs completely.

As you inhale,

Fill your heart with joy.

Each time you exhale,

Empty your mind of all anticipations and empty your body of all tensions.

Each time you inhale,

Drop into a deeper level of silent awareness and experience the balancing and relaxing impact of the parasympathetic nervous system.

Continue to breathe with constant attention and detached awareness.

And now return to your normal breathing and turn your attention inward.

Experience the powerful impact of vibratory energetic pulsations in the form of sensations that have been activated in your body just from this deep yogic breathing.

Let your detached awareness embrace all experiences unconditionally.

Let your mind melt and merge into it.

And now bring your total undivided attention to the third eye in the middle of the eyebrow center and drop into the deepest On the next breath out,

Let go even more.

Drop into that silent space where all doing stops.

Follow my guidance now as we move our attention through different parts of the body.

Let your detached attention release the dormant healing power trapped in the meridians and connected organs to carry out healing from within.

Let the penetrating power of consciousness instantly dissolve any blockages and holdings as you move through these different areas of your body.

As I guide you from point to point,

Remain in non-doing silent awareness.

Resolve to yourself that you will stay alert and awake.

And now bring your undivided attention to the brow center of the third eye,

Pit of the throat,

Right shoulder,

Right elbow,

Wrist,

Thumb,

Index finger,

Middle finger,

Ring finger,

And little finger,

Wrist,

Elbow,

Now bring your attention back to the third eye in the middle of the brow center.

Gather your attention at the third eye and let the non-doing presence fully manifest in your third eye.

Observe the vast stillness and silence.

Resting in this vastness,

Allow whatever comes into your field of awareness to be present without comment or judgment.

Witness.

Witness it as it floats by like clouds in the sky as you give yourself permission to drop even deeper into the deepest level of relaxation.

As you continue to focus on the third eye,

Drop into the deepest level of relaxation.

Here there remains nothing to do or achieve.

You have entered the zero stress zone.

You have entered the domain of grace.

In this domain of integration,

You are a witness of all that's happening but doing nothing to make it happen.

All that can never be done by your doing can happen only in the non-doing presence of your being.

Feel completely safe and comfortable as you hand yourself over to the power and protection of the presence.

Feel it.

Experience it.

Be it.

Hand over all fear,

Apprehension,

And anxiety about all that you want to change,

Control,

Or manage.

Let go of all doing.

Replace it with trust and faith in the higher power.

Let your mind merge and melt into the presence and enter the sanctuary of silence.

Remain empty and free from all doing and feel yourself as time-transcendent presence right now.

Yourself to respond spontaneously and effortlessly to what I say.

I return to the innate wisdom of my body to heal itself.

I remain in restful awareness.

I go to the source within that heals all conflicts and restores my health and peace of mind.

I let the radiant light of love melt and disperse any energy blocks in my body and mind and I replace them with total acceptance and forgiveness.

I shift out of reactive feelings and allow myself to accept and feel what is in my body.

I embrace what is present.

I am at peace with myself as I am and the world as it is.

Establish yourself firmly in faith and trust to receive the grace,

Protection,

And guidance of the higher self within you.

The more often you go to your source,

The easier it will be to return there and the longer you can stay there.

Feel the presence of your own spiritual guides surrounding you and blessing you.

Accept their blessing and grace.

Now you have prepared the base from which you can carry out interactions with life and interpersonal relationships with the integrative power of love and the source within.

And now slowly begin to become aware of the rising and falling of your breath.

Slowly feel yourself beginning to rise to the surface of awareness.

Sense the body resting,

The quality of air as it touches your skin.

Gradually you can begin to move as if waking from a restful sleep.

Take your time.

Do not hurry.

You can bend your knees and pull them closer.

Slowly rock sideways and eventually turning onto your right side and curl into a fetal position.

Feel the safety,

Comfort,

And protection of the womb of existence.

You can gradually move and perhaps sit up still keeping your eyes closed.

Continue to stay deep in this deep inner experience.

Regardless of what you consciously recognize that has or has not changed,

Know that something deep within you has shifted to connect you with your higher source,

The higher source of the power within.

Become aware of your body and bring a deep sense of peace and contentment with you as you bring attention back to the body.

You're still lying down,

That's fine.

And if you're sitting,

That too is fine.

You cannot do anything wrong.

Just be present with what is.

Notice how relaxed your body is,

How soft the breath is.

Notice how quiet the mind has become and how slow your heartbeat is.

Be still and be grateful.

Know that you can easily enter here again and again and again and again.

And now gradually as you're ready,

You may open your eyes and allow the world to come back in.

Jai Bhagawan,

I honor the light in you and I wish you wellness,

Love and light.
