Deep Body Awareness, Sankalpa & Grounding

This 25-minute Yoga Nidra — also known as yogic sleep — is a deeply restorative guided meditation that leads you into a state of conscious rest between waking and sleep. This is where the nervous system resets, the subconscious becomes receptive and the body heals. In this practice we move through: Settling & arriving — body contact, breath, full body awareness Sankalpa — setting and planting your heartfelt intention Breath awareness — following the natural tide of the breath Rotation of consciousness — a slow, tender journey through every part of the body from fingertips to toes Visualisation — meeting yourself as you most wish to feel Returning — gentle re-emergence and closing CHAPTERS Introduction & Settling In 1:30 Arriving in the Body 4:30 Sankalpa — Setting Your Intention 6:00 Breath Awareness 8:00 Body Scan — Right Side 10:30 Body Scan — Left Side 12:00 Centre of the Body & Spine 14:00 Head, Face & Whole Body Awareness 16:00 Visualisation 18:30 Sankalpa — Returning to Intention 20:00 Gently Returning 22:00 Closing Yoga Nidra is an ancient guided meditation practice that brings the body into deep rest while the mind remains gently awake. Research suggests that 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra can be as restorative as several hours of sleep. It is used to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, build self-awareness and create lasting positive change through sankalpa — heartfelt intention setting.
