Yoga Nidra Body Scan Script
Find a comfortable position, lying on your back with your legs extended and your arms at your sides, palms facing upward. Take a few deep breaths, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, allowing your body to settle into the ground. As you continue to breathe deeply, allow the gentle rhythm of your breath to guide you into a state of relaxation. Feel your body become heavy with each exhale, grounded and supported by the earth beneath you.
Now, bring your awareness to your body, starting at the tips of your toes. Gently shift your attention to your left foot. Feel the sensations in your toes, the arches of your foot, and the heel. Without judgment, simply observe. Notice if there is any tension, any areas that feel tight or heavy. Allow these sensations to come and go, breathing into any tension you may find. Release any tightness, letting go of the weight that has been carried in this part of your body.
Now, move your awareness to the right foot, starting at the toes. Allow your focus to gently move upward through the foot, noticing the heel, the arches, and the tops of the toes. Let go of any tension you may find here, and let your breath release it. Feel the foot growing heavy, relaxed, and completely at ease.
Shift your attention now to your lower legs. Begin with the left calf. Feel the muscles and bones, the skin and the sensations. Slowly, move your attention up to the left knee. Sense the area around the knee, the muscles, ligaments, and joints. Is there any sensation of tightness or discomfort? Allow yourself to breathe into it and release it on your exhale. Continue moving up to the left thigh, noticing any tension or tightness. Let your breath soften this area, allowing the muscles to loosen and relax. Let this leg feel heavy, relaxed, and free of any tension.
Shift your focus to the right leg. Start with the right calf, noticing any sensations in this area. Gradually move up to the knee, feeling the sensations in the joint and surrounding muscles. Allow the breath to ease any discomfort here, relaxing the muscles and joints. Move your awareness up to the right thigh, releasing any remaining tension as you breathe deeply. Allow this leg to feel fully relaxed and heavy.
Now, bring your attention to your pelvis and hips. Let your awareness settle into the area around your pelvis, noticing any sensations in the lower abdomen, the hip joints, and the muscles surrounding this area. With each inhale, feel the energy expanding through your hips, and with each exhale, let go of any tension or discomfort. Relax the muscles of the pelvis, allowing them to soften and release. Let go of any emotional tension or stress that may be stored in this area. Feel your pelvis grounded and completely at ease.
Move your focus to your abdomen. Gently notice the sensations in the belly as you breathe. With each inhale, feel the belly rise, and with each exhale, feel it soften. Allow your belly to relax, releasing any tightness or discomfort. Feel the gentle flow of your breath moving in and out, soothing and calming your body.
Now, bring your awareness to your chest and heart. Notice the sensations in the chest, the rise and fall with each breath. Feel the warmth of the breath filling your lungs and the space around your heart. With each exhale, release any tension in your chest. Allow the heart to feel open and light. Let go of any emotional burdens, knowing that they no longer serve you. Allow the energy of love and compassion to fill your heart.
Shift your attention to your shoulders. Notice the weight they carry, the muscles that may feel tight or heavy. Breathe deeply into your shoulders, and with each exhale, release any burden you’ve been holding. Allow your shoulders to drop, releasing the tension they carry. Let your arms feel heavy and relaxed, from your shoulders down to your fingertips. Feel the energy of relaxation flowing down through your arms, wrists, and hands.
Now, bring your awareness to your neck and throat. Notice any tension or discomfort that may be present. Breathe deeply into this area, allowing the breath to soften the muscles of the neck. With each exhale, release any tension that resides here. Let go of any words left unsaid, any tension in the throat. Allow this area to feel relaxed and free.
Move your focus now to your face. Notice the muscles in your jaw, your cheeks, your forehead, and around your eyes. Are there any areas of tightness? Gently relax the jaw, soften the forehead, and allow the eyes to rest softly in their sockets. Let your entire face relax, releasing any tension held in the facial muscles. Feel your whole body now becoming deeply relaxed, from the tips of your toes to the top of your head.
Take a few moments here, noticing the peace and stillness within your body. Feel the gentle flow of breath as it moves through you, calm and steady. You are completely relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Your body is free of tension, and your mind is calm and clear.
As you slowly bring your awareness back to the room, remember this sense of peace and relaxation. Let it stay with you as you move through your day, carrying this deep sense of calm into everything you do.
