- 0:07Speaker 1: Namaste. I'm Rosalie and welcome to this grounding Yoga Nidra meditation.
- 0:14Speaker 1: This is a very special and unique practice. The music
- 0:20Speaker 1: you hear has been created with living plants. Their energies
- 0:26Speaker 1: have been recorded and transformed into sound, shaping the music
- 0:32Speaker 1: that supports this journey. This track is a collaboration with
- 0:40Speaker 1: Biomusic Vibrations, who created this music. The practice and the
- 0:48Speaker 1: music are designed to cultivate a sense of deep rest
- 0:53Speaker 1: within yourself, a feeling of grounding and attunement to subtle
- 0:59Speaker 1: energies within you and around you. Let's begin. Could you
- 1:11Speaker 1: lie down and take a few moments to get completely comfortable?
- 1:22Speaker 1: Doing whatever is needed to find your most comfortable position.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Is there anything you could do to be even 1%
- 1:40Speaker 1: more comfortable. Feel the weight of your body really landing
- 1:55Speaker 1: into the support beneath you. Feeling cradled and held by
- 2:07Speaker 1: the earth beneath you. Allowing the whole body to settle down,
- 2:21Speaker 1: sinking deeper and deeper. And let's take three big cleansing
- 2:36Speaker 1: breaths together. Taking a big inhale through the nose. And
- 2:44Speaker 1: sigh it out. And again. One more. Allow the lips
- 3:08Speaker 1: to come together. breathing in and out through the nose.
- 3:16Speaker 1: With every exhale, releasing the weight of the body a
- 3:22Speaker 1: little bit more, sinking deeper and deeper. Could you sense
- 3:35Speaker 1: all the meeting points between your back body and the
- 3:38Speaker 1: support beneath you? Sensing the back of your heels.
- 3:48Speaker 2: The back of your legs, the whole back, and the
- 3:59Speaker 2: back of your head.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Releasing. Any sense of tension or gripping through the forehead.
- 4:22Speaker 1: The eyes. The jaw. The shoulders. The whole of you. softening,
- 4:43Speaker 1: letting go. Could you soften the muscle of your mind?
- 4:57Speaker 1: Imagine the mind like a muscle, relaxing open. As you
- 5:09Speaker 1: drop out of the world of thinking and enter the
- 5:12Speaker 1: realms of feeling, sensing, and listening. Now could you bring
- 5:33Speaker 1: your awareness to all the sounds around you, noticing the
- 5:40Speaker 1: furthest sound you can hear Stretching your awareness outwards. No
- 5:49Speaker 1: need to analyze the sound. Just notice what's there. Bringing
- 6:08Speaker 1: your awareness closer now. noticing all the sounds within your space,
- 6:16Speaker 1: the sound of my voice and the sound of this recording.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Could you imagine listening with the whole of you, the
- 6:46Speaker 1: whole body attuned to sound, becoming deeply attuned to the
- 6:55Speaker 1: sound of this recording, allowing the sound to bring you
- 7:08Speaker 1: deeper and deeper within, as we embark on this journey together.
- 7:28Speaker 1: As you rest deeply here, completely letting go, Now could
- 7:42Speaker 1: you welcome your sankalpa, your heart's deepest desire? Perhaps you're
- 7:50Speaker 1: working with your own. Or perhaps for this particular practice,
- 7:56Speaker 1: you might invite the phrase, I am grounded, safe, and
- 8:02Speaker 1: deeply supported. Choose whatever feels right for you in this moment.
- 8:11Speaker 1: And mentally repeat this phrase or your sankalpa to yourself
- 8:16Speaker 1: three times. I am grounded, safe, and deeply supported. Now
- 8:54Speaker 1: let it go. We will begin now to rotate our
- 9:00Speaker 1: awareness through different parts of the body. Could you allow
- 9:06Speaker 1: your attention to glide from each part of your body
- 9:11Speaker 1: as I name it, creating a cascade of relaxation through
- 9:16Speaker 1: the whole body. We will move quickly from one part
- 9:24Speaker 1: to the next. As your awareness moves, the body remains
- 9:31Speaker 1: completely still. Beginning in the mouth, could you bring all
