This Full Length 60-Minute Yoga Nidra is a journey through the subtle body, inviting balance, clarity, and awakening of the seven chakras—from root to crown.

Rooted in the teachings of Swami Satyananda Saraswati, this deeply restorative practice follows the classical structure of Yoga Nidra—moving from physical stillness and breath awareness into psychic visualization, chakra attunement, and subtle energy awakening.

We’ll travel through the primary chakras, invoking their symbols, sensations, and seed sounds:

• Mooladhara (Root) – Earth – Grounding & Stability
• Swadhisthana (Sacral) – Water – Flow & Creativity
• Manipura (Solar Plexus) – Fire – Will & Power
• Anahata (Heart) – Air – Love & Compassion
• Vishuddhi (Throat) – Sound – Truth & Expression
• Ajna (Third Eye) – Light – Intuition & Clarity
• Sahasrara (Crown) – Spirit – Unity & Consciousness

You'll also connect with Bindu, the moonlike point of transcendence at the top-back of the head. Through imagery, breath, and vibration, the chakras are visualized as radiant lotus flowers and symbolic forms—each representing a portal to deeper awareness.

This practice is a form of inner alchemy. It supports energetic recalibration, emotional healing, and spiritual insight. Yoga Nidra is known for its profound effects on stress, insomnia, and nervous system regulation—offering the benefits of deep rest and meditative presence.

Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a meditative state between waking and dreaming where the body surrenders completely and the mind becomes quiet and receptive. According to scientific studies and yogic texts, one hour of Yoga Nidra can be as restorative as four hours of deep sleep.

Lie down. Let go. And listen inward.

There is a place, ancient and unbroken, where the soul knows how to rest. A place where the breath slows, the body softens, and the mind unhooks itself from the noise of the world. This is where we are going.

Welcome to Seek Within, a sanctuary for those who long to be held by the great silence, for those who know that true rest is not a luxury, but a birthright. In this Yoga Nidra practice, you will be guided through the deep rivers of breath, the gentle unfolding of awareness, and the luminous quiet that exists beneath all things.

With pranayama, body scanning, and dreamlike visualization, we step into the vast, tender darkness where sleep is not just an absence of waking, but a return—a homecoming to the self. This is rest as ritual. This is sleep as healing. This is the sacred stillness.

In this guided Yoga Nidra practice, you are led on a journey of deep rest, inner awareness, and luminous awakening. Through breath, intention, and visualization, you will be guided beyond the noise of the world into the quiet radiance of your being.

There is nothing to do. Nothing to force. Simply listen. Simply allow.

As you surrender to the rhythm of breath and the unfolding of presence, may you remember what has always been true—you are a body of light.

Lay down. Let go. Seek Within.

Step into the liminal space—the sacred in-between—where time softens, the body rests, and the future self stirs in the depths of your being. This Yoga Nidra practice is a journey beyond waking and dreaming, where the quiet whispers of intuition guide you toward your highest potential.

Through breath awareness, body relaxation, and deep visualization, you will connect with the wisdom already within you, planting the seed of your sankalpa—your soul’s deepest intention. In this space, you do not seek or force; you simply listen, surrender, and embody the knowing that your future self is already here.

Let go of the past. Trust in the unfolding. Awaken the path ahead.

In this guided Yoga Nidra meditation, we journey beyond the old narratives that no longer serve us—stories of limitation, unworthiness, and fear. Through breath awareness, body relaxation, and visualization, we gently unravel these patterns and make space for a new, empowered truth to take root.

This practice will guide you through:

• Grounding into the present moment
• Box-breathing (Sama Vritti Pranayama) for balance
• Deep body awareness and relaxation
• Sankalpa (intention-setting) to plant the seeds of transformation
• Visualization to release the past and step into your true essence

As you rest, trust in the process. The stories you tell yourself can change. The script is yours to rewrite.

Find a quiet space, lie down, and let go. Your journey inward begins now.

In this sacred journey of Yoga Nidra, we step away from the ceaseless toil of becoming and return to the vast, unshaken truth of simply being. Here, you are asked to loosen the grip of striving and to rest in the quiet knowing that you were whole from the very beginning. Through breath as deep as the old rivers, body awareness as tender as a mother’s hand, and visions drawn from the well of the soul, you will be led—not to change, not to fix—but to surrender, to soften, to remember.

Step into the quiet, into the space where deep truth resides. Through breath, intention, and luminous visualization, you will release the weight you carry and return to the deep knowing within—a place of peace, wholeness, and limitless presence.

Let yourself soften into stillness, carried by the rhythm of your breath, the wisdom of your body, and the light that has always known your name. Whether you seek clarity, healing, or simply a moment of refuge, this practice offers a sacred homecoming.

Find a comfortable space, surrender to the journey, and allow yourself to remember: You are already whole.

Includes:

• Guided breathwork (Samavritti Pranayama)
• Body awareness and deep relaxation
• Sankalpa (sacred intention setting)
• Visualization for healing and expansion
• Closing mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum

Seek within. Remember your light.

Welcome to a deeply restorative journey of relaxation and self-discovery. This Yoga Nidra practice is designed to harmonize your nervous system and awaken your inner wisdom under the nurturing energy of the full moon.

Settle into a quiet space and allow yourself to be fully supported as you move through body awareness and sacred visualization with intention. Connect to the moon’s luminous power, explore a tranquil temple within, and return with renewed clarity and a heart full of possibility.

Let love be the medicine. In this 20-minute practice of Yoga Nidra, you’re invited to rest in the healing current of unconditional love—a subtle, powerful force that lives within your breath, your body, your being.

Guided by the ancient form of yogic rest and infused with mantra and intention, this session is a space to soften, to remember, and to receive. It’s especially nourishing when the heart feels tender, the body is depleted, or you simply long to return to the truth that you are held.

Within this practice, you’ll experience:

• Pranayama & breath awareness — soothe your nervous system through gentle breath and the heart’s rhythm.
• Rotation of consciousness — restore presence to your body through a steady, grounding sweep of attention.
• Mantra & intention setting — plant the soul-seed of “Aham Prema” (“I am Divine Love”) in the fertile space of rest.
• Guided visualization — journey through a landscape of light and compassion, where love becomes the healer.
• Restorative return — emerge with a renewed sense of warmth, wholeness, and embodied compassion.

This is more than a meditation—it’s a devotion to your inner light. A gentle reminder that healing doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it whispers, “You are already loved.”

✨ Accessible for all levels. Perfect as a mid-day reset, heart-soothing practice, or evening ritual.
