Winter Quiet Yoga Nidra - Waking Hours version
Winter is not always my favorite time of year. I’m not a fan of the short days or being bundled up in constrictive layers of clothing. But I do love the quiet of winter and the time to slow down and just be. This meditation draws on my childhood memories of peaceful winter days, when the beauty of winter was easy to see.
Waking Hours meditations are for when you need a pause in your day to destress and calm your nervous system. You’ll find the Sleep variations under the Sleep tab.
Being as comfortable as possible makes it easier to relax, read my tips in this post: Find Comfort in Yoga Nidra.
Meditation Elements
There are periods of breath awareness, a body scan/ rotation of consciousness (and an option below with NO body scan), feeling sensations of being restless and of being content to be still, and a visualization of being warm, cozy, and relaxed on a winter day.
Rather than intention setting, I opted for a focus on the heart center and sensations of unconditional love. If you have an intention you like to use you can set it before you begin.
It ends with a prompt to guide you back to full consciousness. As always, I can’t promise that the prompt will wake you from a deep restful sleep.
Winter Quiet with NO Body Scan
In the variation below the body scan has been removed, the rest of the meditation is the same. It ends with a prompt to guide you back to full consciousness. Again, no guarantees that the prompt will wake you from a deep restful sleep.
I hope this helps you to rest for a while,
