Welcome to this Yoga Nidra meditation,
A journey into deep inner healing.
Your body has an incredible capacity to heal.
It is always seeking balance,
Homeostasis,
Optimal well-being.
During this meditation we will seek to let go of what most inhibits our body's natural healing abilities,
And this is stress.
Letting go of the stress,
We will then engage the parasympathetic state in the body,
Stimulating your body's natural healing mechanisms.
We will then guide your innate body wisdom and heart wisdom to that which within you needs healing and care.
So come to sit or lie in a comfortable position,
Your head well supported,
Your back comfortable.
Perhaps a covering over your eyes to help quiet your mind.
Perhaps a blanket for warmth,
Helping your body to relax more deeply.
Allow your eyes to soften,
Not looking at or for anything,
Soft eyes.
Invite your throat to soften,
Maybe take a little swallow.
Not needing to say anything,
Feel a softness in your throat.
Give your body permission to relax,
To let go of efforting,
To do nothing,
Simply rest.
Now please bring your awareness to your breath,
To feel the cool air coming in your nostrils and the warm air going out.
Notice as the cool air comes in where it touches your body,
What expands and opens.
As the warm air goes out on the exhale,
Where do you notice a softening and letting go in your body?
Try to sense and feel the rhythm of your breath as it flows your nostrils in and out of your body.
Let your body become softer.
It receives this gentle rhythmic flow of your breath flowing in and out.
Softness in your body,
A gentle flow of your breath,
Perhaps to flow all the way down to fill and empty in your belly.
Tying your breath to flow more deeply to fill and empty from your belly.
To feel the sensation of your belly rising and falling with your breath.
Give yourself permission to simply relax,
To rest,
To be absorbed into the gentle rhythm of your breath.
Now breathe in a sense of calm.
Breathe out any tension,
Struggle.
And the wings of your breath and breathing in calm.
Breathing out tension,
Struggle.
Breathing in a sense of vitality,
Energy.
Breathing out fatigue,
Tiredness.
Breathing in vitality,
Energy.
Breathing out fatigue,
Tiredness.
Breathe in the sense of ease.
Breathe out any unease,
Dis-ease.
Breathing in ease.
Breathing out unease,
Dis-ease.
Now on the wings of your breath,
Breathe in healing.
Breathe out whatever blocks you from healing.
Breathe in healing.
And breathe out whatever blocks you from healing.
And now breathe in love and let it fill your body,
Your whole body.
Breathe in love and let it fill your whole body.
In the quiet stillness,
The silence,
Listen deeper within your body.
What does my body need for healing?
My body heals.
How do I choose to feel with optimal health and well-being?
As you ask yourself these questions as answers arise or perhaps different thoughts arise around healing,
Begin to cultivate a healing intention for yourself for this meditation.
Positive affirmation for healing as you desire,
As you choose.
And now state this intention to yourself,
An inner whispering three times.
Allow your body to rest more deeply,
To sink into the stillness,
To be embraced within the silence.
Now this feeling of relaxation and quiet to spread,
Ripple out through your whole body.
Here now and let my words guide you as we float your awareness throughout your body,
Beginning at the center of your forehead,
Third eye.
As your awareness rests here,
Imagine a beautiful golden light.
This is a healing light,
Warm and soft,
Yet easily penetrates deeply into your body.
See this warm golden healing light filling your forehead,
Flowing out to fill your face and head,
Your mouth,
Flowing down to fill your throat,
This like golden honey warm,
Flowing down your throat and resting at the notch at the base of your throat.
Now this warm golden healing light fills your right hand,
Flows out to fill your right thumb,
First finger,
Second finger,
Third finger,
And baby finger.
And golden healing light flows out through your right arm and shoulder,
To the notch at the base of your throat.
Now it fills your left hand and flows out to fill your left thumb,
First finger,
Second finger,
Third finger,
And baby finger.
As golden healing light flows up to fill your left arm and shoulder,
And the notch at the base of your throat,
Flows down to fill your belly button,
Navel point,
And flows out to your right hip,
Flows down through your right leg,
To your right foot,
Flows out to fill your right big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
And baby toe.
And flows back up through your right leg and hip to belly button,
Navel point,
And to your left hip,
Leg,
And foot,
And flows in to fill your left big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
And baby toe.
This warm golden light flows up the left leg,
All the way up to belly button,
Navel point,
And now flows down to fill the soles of both feet,
And flows up both legs,
Both hips,
Both hands,
Arms,
And shoulders,
And flows in to fill your torso,
The abdominal organs,
Your spine,
Filling with this healing light,
Golden in color,
Warm,
Soft,
Penetrating the entire spinal column,
Each vertebra receiving this healing light,
Kidneys,
Adrenals,
Your liver,
Spleen,
Pancreas,
Everything filling with this golden healing light,
Your lungs,
Your heart,
Flowing up through your throat,
Your face,
To the very top of your head,
Your whole body now filled with this healing light,
Radiating through your whole body,
Penetrating each tissue,
Now your body to drink it in,
And now,
In the quiet stillness,
In the silence,
Open up a deep inner listening,
Asking yourself,
Asking your body wisdom,
Where do I need healing?
Invite an awareness to arise when you are familiar with,
Or perhaps it's something different,
Let your body wisdom guide you,
A deep inner listening,
Where do I need healing?
Let your awareness come here,
To notice what this place feels like,
And sensations,
Warm or cold,
Tight,
Expansive,
Simply notice sensations here,
Perhaps there is a color that fills this area,
Imagine this,
Let yourself be present here where your body needs this healing,
To how it is showing up here,
Sensations,
Color,
Begin to breathe a golden healing light into this area,
And as you inhale,
Imagine being able to breathe this healing golden light directly into this area,
Feel the warmth,
The softness,
See the color illuminating here,
Perhaps taking over the other color,
Perhaps the other color is released as you exhale,
Choose what naturally arises,
What feels best for you,
Bathing in the golden healing light,
Just notice what is happening,
Sometimes a body is quickly responsive,
Sometimes it takes a little time,
Each breath offering this healing light,
Letting your body receive it as feels best,
Give yourself what you need here,
Golden healing light flowing in,
Filling,
Listening more deeply still now,
Asking your heart's wisdom,
What do I need for my deepest healing?
What do I need for my deepest healing?
Allow your heart's wisdom to arise,
Perhaps as an inner whispering,
An image,
A felt sense,
Imagine you could give yourself this,
Allow this which you need to flow in on the wings of this golden healing breath,
Imagine that which you need for healing to flow in on the wings of the breath,
This golden light,
Healing light flowing in carrying that which you need for your deepest healing.
Invite your awareness to spread out,
To fill your whole body,
To simultaneously take in your whole body,
And can you imagine as you breathe in,
Your whole body simultaneously receives this healing golden light,
It's warmth,
It's softness,
Moving into every tissue,
Every pore,
Every cell,
Golden light flowing through your whole body seamlessly connecting,
Flowing through your entire body,
Warm,
Soft,
Radiating deeply within.
And as you rest here,
As your awareness takes in your whole body,
You might say to yourself,
I allow my body to create a profound healing shift now.
I allow my body to create a profound healing shift now.
Every cell in my body is filled with radiant healing light from within.
Every cell in my body is filled with radiant golden healing light from within.
I invite the innate wisdom of my body,
Of my heart,
To guide my healing.
I invite the innate wisdom of my body,
My heart,
To guide my healing.
There may be other words that come to you here.
As we take a moment to simply rest in the silence,
In the stillness.
Allow your body to feel a sense of ease,
Harmony,
Health,
And healing.
I thank you for the honor of guiding you through this meditation.
Take good care.
Namaste.
