You are invited to work with your own intention in this Yoga Nidra. Working with Intention supports laying down new neural pathways in the brain. Intention is particularly powerful in Yoga Nidra as we state our intention when we are beyond the conscious mind, so there is no resistance to our stated intention. 

When working with intention, the rule of thumb is to make it 1) succinct and as simple as possible, 2) always stated in the positive and 3) you have a visceral response to the statement, meaning you feel a reaction in your body. 

Intention can be a high level statements such as “I am kind to myself” to “I am at peace with myself as I am and the world as it is.” Or it can be specific, and cover anything from “I eat healthy foods that nourish my body” to “I balance my needs with the needs of others.” 

Choose an intention that supports change you are trying to implement in your life, and use the intention throughout the day as well as during the Yoga Nidra. This means that you will be drawing on the resources of your conscious and unconscious mind to support the behaviour change.

Techniques used in this Nidra include "Palming the Face" and "Sheetali Breath". Instruction are given for both during the Nidra.
