Thank you for being here with me. My name is Pearl and I am here to share with you a 15-minute yoga nidra practice to strengthen your self-love, forgiveness and acceptance. You are invited now to take a comfortable position, lying on your back. You may wish to do so on a cozy couch, a soft recliner or, more traditionally, on a yoga mat. You may consider using a pillow like it prop, or perhaps a bolster underneath your knees to maintain a comfortable position throughout your practice. As your yoga nidra practice begins to deepen, you may notice that these props will no longer serve you. Until then, please make yourself comfortable with all the support you need the raptus. There will be moments of comfort and of discomfort. Welcome all these sensations as a messenger and allow them to move through you, acknowledging their presence without judgment or resistance. Remember that during all states of consciousness, the abundant benefit of yoga nidra will be received and that throughout this experience, there will be pauses for breath and reflection throughout the journey. Before we continue on Now, let's take three natural breaths together Inhale through your nose. Exhale side out of your mouth. Inhale and exhale. Breathe in and breathe out Throughout this practice. Wherever there is a pause, let your attention come back to your natural breath. There is no need to change anything. Yoga tells us that we are exactly where we're supposed to be and exactly how we're supposed to be. So be as you are, while remaining awake during this practice is your choice.

Speaker 2: 3:38

I encourage you to explore the power of conscious awareness as you navigate the depths of this experience. Trust that you are fully supported by the Earth beneath you, feel her gentle embrace like a cozy cocoon, grounding and nurturing you with every breath. Allow yourself to sink deeper into this sanctuary where warmth and comfort abound. Embrace this sacred space as a refuge of acceptance. Release any expectations or self-judgment and simply be as you are. You are perfect in your essence, worthy of love and forgiveness. All these words should resonate deep within you. Allow these words to resonate deeply within you, soothing any wounds and kindling the frame of self-compassion that resides in your heart. As we journey through this yoga and intro practice together, know that you are held in a space of unconditional love and tenderness. May you discover the beauty and strength that lies within, and may you emerge from this experience with a renewed sense of self-love, forgiveness and acceptance. Let's take three breaths together Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out and down, take a moment to settle into this loving space honoring your presence here.

Speaker 2: 5:38

When you are ready, we shall embark on this sacred journey together.

Speaker 2: 5:45

To begin, gently, bring your attention to your breath and observe the quality of your breath without judgment. Resist the urge to change it in any way. Notice is it short or deep, hired or soft, loud or quiet, slow or sad. Notice these things as a loving obsession. Yoga teaches us that we are exactly where we're supposed to be and exactly who we're supposed to be. There is no other way Our journey begins. Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a mass and ancient forest. As you open your eyes in your mind's eye, take in the magnificent sight of towering trees stretching towards the heavens. Notice how the sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting a gentle glow over the forest floor. Feel a sense of pain and reverence for the wisdom and strength held within these woods. Now shift your attention to your sense of touch. Feel the coolness of the earth beneath your feet, as if you were standing on a carpet of moss and falling lead. Sense the grounding energy rising up through the soles of your feet, connecting you to the nurturing embrace of the earth. Allow yourself to feel supported, knowing that the earth wields you in her loving arm. Bring your attention to your breath. Let's take three breaths together here Inhale, exhale.

Speaker 2: 7:52

Inhale, exhale, breathe in and out as you stand in this forest. Become aware of the soft, whispering breath rushing against your skin. Feel the delicate caress as it rustles through the lead, creating a symphony of natural sound. Let the breeze carry away any residual tension or negative, leaving you feeling lighter and more at peace In this tranquil setting. Let your sense of smell awake. Breathe in deeply and take in the rich, earthy fragrance of the forest. Allow the scent to envelop, awakening your intuition and deepening your connection to your inner wisdom. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more attuned to your authentic self. Embrace all parts of who you truly are as you continue to breathe. Draw your attention to the sound that's around you. Listen to the melodies of the forest the gentle chirping of bird, distant rustle of animals lying through the undergrowth, and perhaps a soothing baffle of a nearby street.

Speaker 2: 9:41

These sounds are a reminder that life is ever slowing and you are part of this beautiful tapestry of existence. Let peace sounds quiet your mind, allowing a deep sense of serenity to wash over you. Now turn your attention inward, wish luck on your journey and the choices you've made in the past. Recognize that everything you did was an act of survival driven by the circumstances and challenges you face. Understand that you did what you needed to do at the time and release any lingering feelings of shame or guilt. Visualize a warm, golden light radiating from the core of the earth, rising up and enveloping you in its gentle embrace Feelers. Light permeate every cell of your body, serving and healing any wounds. As you bathe in this healing light, allow forgiveness to flow through you, washing away any self-judgment. Embrace yourself with compassion behind them, knowing that you are deserving of love and forgiveness. Let's take three breaths together Breathe in and out. Breathe in and out. In and out.

Speaker 2: 11:52

Now imagine the serene, crystal clear stream flowing by. Approach it and nail down, dipping your hands into the water. Feel its corners against your skin. Cop your hands, allowing the water to collect within them. Hold this one, infusing it with your intention to forgive and accept yourself unconditionally. As you release the water back into the stream, you should merge with the current, symbolizing your willingness to reach God and lose. Take a few moments to bask in the healing energy of self-forgiveness and acceptance. Allow this energy to permeate every aspect of your being, from deep within your soul all the way to the surface of your physical body. Know that you have the power to release the burdens of the past and embrace a future filled with self-love and acceptance. Let's breathe together and fit through three breaths Inhale and exhale.

Speaker 2: 13:22

Inhale and exhale. Breathe in and out. As you stand by the stream, take a moment to reflect on the lessons you have learned from your past experiences, guys, that each choice, whether perceived as right or wrong, has contributed to your growth and resilience. Allow yourself to feel gratitude for the strength and wisdom that has emerged from those moments. Now imagine the vibrant colors of the forest surrounding you. Notice the various shades of green, warm hues of sunlight and the vibrant outflowers that dot the landscape. Let these colors symbolize the richness and diversity of your life journey, embracing both the light and dark moments to equal reverence. Extend your wings to your sense of taste. July's a nourishing fruit or herb appearing before you. Take a bite or sip, nourishing it. Flavor, allowing it to represent the sweetness, soft forgiveness and excitement.

Speaker 2: 14:56

Feel the nourishment infusing every cell of your heart, Revitalizing your spirit and affirming your inherent worthy. You immerse yourself in the forest. Engage your intuition, trust the whisper of your inhabitants, which knows the path towards self-compassion and liberation. You will be able to feel the warmth of your heart, with passion and liberation. Allow your intuition to guide you towards making choices aligned with your highest good and authentic self-expression. In this moment of self-forgiveness and acceptance, visualize roots extending from the souls of your seeds, growing deep into the earth. Feel yourself becoming firmly rooted. Occurred in the unwavering support of the earth. With some instant, Grow out of this connection whenever you need to reaffirm your self-worth and release any lingering doubt, self-crazy.

Speaker 2: 16:19

As we near the end of this neutral session, take a deep breath and feel the energy on the forest marge with your own. Feel harmony between your being and the natural world around, recognizing that you are an integral part of the interconnected web of life. Let's take three breaths together Breathe in, out, out, out, out, out, out. Carry this sense of self-forgiveness and acceptance with you as you gently open your eyes and re-enter the present moment. Allow it to infuse your daily life, guiding you towards making choices that honor your true self. Remember that you are deserving of love, compassion and forgiveness, and that by embracing your path with understanding and grace, you can move forward with confidence and authenticity. Take a moment to express to us with this healing experience and for the wisdom of the earth that supports your journey. Whenever you need a reminder of your capacity for self-forgiveness and acceptance, return to this forest with your mind and heart reconnecting with the earth's nurturing energy.
