Music Hi and welcome to today's meditation.
Sleep and relaxation through Yoga Nidra.
I am your guide Saqib and I will be with you on your journey into deeper calmness and relaxation of the mind and body.
Let's start with gratitude for all the good and beautiful things that are in your life right now.
However big or small they may be,
By being thankful to the universe or God or collective consciousness or whatever you believe in.
I will be silent for a couple of minutes while you complete your gratitude practice.
Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Let's now set our sankalpa or intention for this meditation.
I will say the words of sankalpa and either you can repeat after me in your heart or just listen to my words.
It's up to you.
I give deep rest to my mind and my body.
I give deep rest to my mind and my body.
I give deep rest to my mind and my body.
You can gradually close your eyes if you haven't done that already.
Feel the presence of your body in your surroundings starting from your feet.
Feel your feet's presence,
The air touching them,
The presence of your legs,
The presence of your pelvis region,
The presence of your stomach and lower back,
The presence of your hands and fingers,
Your arms,
Your chest and upper back,
Your neck,
The presence of your face and finally the top of your head.
Now bring your awareness to your breathing for some time.
Don't change the pattern of your breathing.
Let it have its natural flow.
Just observe it.
Bring your awareness to your nostrils as you inhale and exhale.
All your achieving is possible by listening to this music Check if there are any thoughts in your mind right now.
Just be aware of them.
Imagine these thoughts as bubbles rising in front of you,
With each thought representing one bubble.
In your imagination,
Burst or pop these bubbles of thoughts one by one with a slight touch of your finger,
Just in your imagination.
Now that your mind is calm and still,
Imagine a ring of white light encircling your head.
This ring is the light from the source of all creation and it will provide ultimate relaxation to your body.
Move this ring down your face slowly towards your neck and as you move it,
Feel it relaxing each and every part of your face.
As you move it further down your neck towards your navel,
Relax each and every part of your upper body,
Including your arms and hands.
You can expand and contract the size of this ring depending upon the size of the body part through which it passes.
Now move it from your navel towards your feet.
Now pleasant.
In a similar fashion,
Move this ring upwards from your feet back to your navel.
Now from your navel to your neck,
Including your hands.
From your neck to the top of your head.
Feel this ring calming down your mind even further.
Now imagine this ring expanding upwards and downwards and completely encircling your body.
It is expanding to completely cover your body in this beautiful white light.
This light is your guiding angel which always takes care of you.
It's giving you a warm embrace of love,
Compassion,
Appreciation and care.
Feel and experience this embrace of love.
It's completely filling your body with bliss.
Your guiding angel has completely merged with your body and filled it completely with love.
Somewhere deep inside you,
There's a place of silence,
A place of stillness,
A place of pure being.
Descend down to that place as I guide you.
I will be counting back from 10 to 1 and as I do so,
With each count,
Imagine and feel as if you are descending one step into that place of silence,
Stillness and sleep.
Once you reach that place of pure being,
Just relax there by simply listening to the music in the background for some time.
As you go deeper and deeper into the world of sleep.
Let's begin.
