We all know how difficult it is when you can’t fall asleep or you fall asleep and you can’t stay asleep. Fatigue and exhaustion settle in. Sleep anxiety becomes real. Nobody want to spend their nights tossing and turning. Whether you have difficulty falling asleep or experience fragmented sleep, this yoga nidra is here to support you through your insomnia.

Yoga nidra is a state of deep relaxation that allows your mind and body to unwind, releasing the stress that contributes to insomnia. It will activate your parasympathetic nervous system known as rest and digest, promoting a sense of calm, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. By entering into the state of deep relaxation offered in yoga nidra, it can lead you into a more restorative rest or sleep, allowing you to feel more rejuvenated when you wake.

Throughout this yoga nidra, you will be invited to feel the gentle guidance and protection of your ancestors, guardian angels and spirit guides surrounding you with protection and loving presence as you enter into the state of deep relaxation and rest. Knowing that you are being watched over physically and spiritually throughout the night can support you to enter into a state of deep relaxation and rest. This will allow you to awaken refreshed and rejuvenated.

May this yoga nidra envelop you in a cocoon of tranquility, allowing you to drift into a serene and restful sleep.

May your sleep be undisturbed, free from worries and anxieties.

May your sleep be a sanctuary of deep rest, nurturing your body, mind, and spirit.

With love and blessings, Melissa
