Find Tranquility with Yoga Nidra and Ocean Visualisation
Let the whole of the back of the body begin to sink into the earth and just have a sense of yourself sinking a little bit deeper through each exhale.
Imagine ending your hectic week with a soothing journey to a serene beach, guided by the calming voice of Morven Hamilton. In this episode of the Yoga by Nature Podcast, Morven introduces listeners to the deeply restorative practice of Yoga Nidra combined with an ocean visualisation. Recorded during her Friday evening class at Bristol City Yoga, this session is perfect for anyone feeling run down or recovering from an injury.
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as 'yogic sleep', is a powerful meditation technique that promotes profound relaxation and mindfulness. Morven gently guides you through a vivid visualisation, starting in a peaceful garden, descending a spiral staircase, and arriving at a golden beach by an endless ocean. Picture yourself rocking gently on the water, like a baby cradled by the waves. This imagery helps release tension and fosters a deep sense of calm.
Morven’s approach is nurturing and inclusive, making this practice accessible whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for years. She also integrates elements from her Healing the Whole Person/yogaThrive programme, designed to support cancer survivors in their healing journeys. Her clear instructions and supportive tone ensure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the session. Listeners will find this episode particularly beneficial for alleviating stress, anxiety, and insomnia.
The combination of Yoga Nidra and ocean visualisation offers a unique opportunity to tap into inner peace and mindfulness. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long week or seeking a gentle way to enhance your well-being, this episode is a wonderful invitation to take a moment for yourself and experience the healing power of yoga. Tune in to the Yoga by Nature Podcast and let Morven guide you to a place of tranquility and rejuvenation.
