Guided Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest, Nervous System Regulation & Healing | Body Scan + Breathwork + Visualization This script guides a Yoga Nidra (“yogic sleep”) practice focused on deep rest, nervous system calming, and mind-body connection. It offers options for comfortable positioning and encourages creating a safe, supported environment with props. The meditation widens awareness to the room, sensations, breath, thoughts, and emotions, then introduces sankalpa intention-setting (e.g., “I am safe,” “I am healing”). A full-body scan moves through both sides of the body, back body, face, and front body, followed by deepened breathing, extended exhales, and box breathing (inhale 4, hold, exhale 8, hold) to signal safety. A nature-to-cave visualization culminates in placing the sankalpa in the heart, then gently returns the listener to waking awareness with small movements and a closing Namaste.
You'll Be Guided Through:
✔️ Breathwork including extended exhale and box breathing
