Yoga Nidra for ADHD | Your Safe Place | A Beginner’s Journey (Phase 5 – Voice Only)

If you feel like you “can’t switch off,” this is a gentle place to rest. Phase 5 — Your Safe Place This fully guided Yoga Nidra practice for ADHD, overthinking, busy minds, and nervous system overwhelm gently builds upon the earlier phases of the series, introducing beginner-friendly access to inner safety, sensory imagery, and Sankalpa through a trauma-informed approach. Rather than asking you to force visualisation or “clear the mind,” this practice gently guides awareness through warmth, coolness, breath, body sensation, and calming inner imagery — allowing the nervous system to soften gradually and naturally in its own time. In this phase, we begin gently exploring: • rotation of consciousness • breath awareness • warmth and coolness through sensation • guided sensory imagery • nervous system grounding • beginner access to Sankalpa (inner intention) • creating a felt sense of inner safety and support This practice is designed to support regulation in a way that feels accessible, imaginative, embodied, and beginner-friendly — especially for minds that struggle with traditional meditation or find stillness difficult. There is nothing you need to force. No need to “empty the mind.” No need to visualise perfectly. No need to get anything right. You remain in control of your experience throughout. You are always welcome to move, pause, adjust your position, or simply rest. Simply listening… sensing… and allowing… is enough. This practice may help support: • ADHD and restless attention • overthinking and mental overload • nervous system dysregulation • emotional overwhelm • stress and burnout • difficulty slowing down • sensory grounding • deep rest and reconnection with the body You are always welcome to return to earlier phases at any time, or continue forward through the series gently and in your own way. — If this practice felt supportive, and you feel called to share your experience, you’re very welcome to leave a comment. Even a small softening… or a slight easing of the load… may help others feel less alone in their own experience. — Carly Hammond Trauma-Informed ADHD Coach | Yoga Nidra Teacher www.operationyou.coach #ADHD #AuDHD #YogaNidra #Overthinking #MentalOverload #DeepRest #NervousSystem #GuidedMeditation #MeditationForADHD #BusyMinds #TraumaInformed #YogaNidraForBeginners #StressRelief #BurnoutRecovery #EmotionalRegulation #NervousSystemHealing #InnerSafety #SensoryGrounding
