YOGA NIDRA FOR RELEASING JEALOUSY

INTERNALIZATION


Prepare for the practice of yoga nidra by lying on your back in shavasana . . .

Aligned as symmetrical as possible . . .

(Tense and release exercise from toes to top of head)

We will start with an open mouth breathing exercise: Fill Abdomen Fill Chest Exhale through the Mouth . . .

Jealousy is an explosive state that moves rapidly between Love, Fear, Disgust and Anger. Jealousy roars in the head, tightens the chest and kicks us in the stomach. Jealousy sometimes is also a variation of anger. Other times, jealousy can be a mask for fear, the fear that we aren’t able to get what we want

Jealousy can manifest in frustration that someone is getting what is rightfully ours even if we are too frightened to reach our for it

Jealousy blocks abundance. Jealousy maintains there is room for only one person to succeed.  When we are jealous we have tunnel vision.  With this tunnel vision we can’t put things in perspective.

Start by saying these affirmations:
“I forgive myself for not being perfect”
“It is natural to feel jealous sometimes”
“I am a good person”
“I can learn from and transform my jealousy”
Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth

SANKALPA

I can learn from and transform my jealousy

BODY ROTATION
(as normal)

BREATHWORK
PART 1
Jealousy as a variation of anger lives in the liver and gallbladder.

Connect to your liver and gallbladder by placing your hands under your right ribs and pushing gently there,

There under your right ribs you will feel your liver

The gallbladder is below your liver

Sense in your liver if there is any jealousy, resentment, frustration, stress, imbalance

If there is any ask the message of this feeling of anger (pause)

Deep inhale and exhale and softly ssshhhhhh

With eyes closed: Looking left and looking right to delete any jealousy, resentment, frustration, stress, imbalance, constriction

Visualize jealousy, resentment, frustration, stress, imbalance, constriction leaving your mouth as a cloudy gray substance that disappears into the earth to be transformed

Now smile to your liver and your gallbladder they work they do in digestion, regulating blood sugar, and cleansing toxins

Continue smiling as you imagine breathing a spring-green light into these organs for a total of three to six breaths

Sense that your liver and gallbladder softer, moister, and larger

Anger, jealousy, resentment, frustration, stress, constriction, or imbalance have been released

Kindness, generosity, decisiveness, planning and precision have been increased

PART 2

Jealousy as a form of fear lives in the kidney bladder.

Connect to your kidney and bladder by placing your hands on your back under your back

Sense in your liver if there is any jealousy, fear, nervousness, constriction

If there is any ask the message of this feeling of jealousy (pause)

Deep inhale and exhale and softly choooooooooooooooooo

Visualize any jealousy, fear, nervousness, constriction as a cloudy gray substance releasing into the universe and disappears and transforms into the earth

Smile inwardly and outwardly to your kidneys and bladder

Appreciate the work your kidney bladder does in in cleansing your blood, maintaining your water level, and supplying energy to your internal organs. Continue smiling as you imagine blue healing light in your kidney and bladders. Take several breaths as you concentrate on your visualization.

Sense your kidneys and bladder softening, becoming moist. Feel the gentleness, willpower, wisdom and calmness increasing in your body as the jealousy, fear, nervousness, constriction leaves the body.

OPPOSITES

HEAVY vs LIGHT (as normal)

JEALOUSY vs SATISFACTION

Remember an experience of jealousy

Allow yourself to feel the jealousy as if you were very jealous right now.

Consciously decide to feel the jealous

Bring your focus to the part of the body where the sensation of jealous is the strongest.  You don’t
have to do anything just be aware.

Notice if you are resisting the jealousy

Are you pushing it away?

Do you feel ashamed of it?

Experience the jealousy is you were jealous right now

Not let go of the anger and come to the opposite emotion of Joy

SATISFACTION

Remember an experience of satisfaction or a pleasurable experience you recently had, or any experience that carries a positive emotion like joy, happiness, comfort, contentment or gratitude,

Cherish whatever images come to your mind with the recollection of this pleasurable experience

Feel the recollection of satisfaction

Feel it as if you were satisfied right now

Where in your body to you feel this sensation of satisfaction arising

Notice what emotions come up as you bring this experience to mind the experience of being satisfied

Notice any uneasiness you are experiencing because you are allowing yourself to feel satisfied

Invite in the feeling of satisfaction and confidence. Make space for them

Acknowledge and fully experience the emotion of joy

Now let go over satisfaction and come back to jealousy

Now let go of jealousy and come back to satisfaction

Now experience satisfaction and jealousy together. . .

VISUALIZATIONS

Bring your awareness to the chiddakasha, the mind space in front of the closed as . . .

Remember and experience were you felt jealous. You can use the same one you used in the opposite practice or a new scenario.  If you can recall it one that is troubling you right now

Mentally go back into the situation that elicited this emotion

Let yourself see it and hear it like you were watching a movie

What are the particulars?

Where were you?

Who was there?

What are the sights and sounds and smells?

Allow yourself to feel the depth of the feeling. Exaggerate it. Become the feeling.

Now shake the whole body vigorously – like and animal shakes off

Shake off the painful feeling

Take a deep breath to release the pain

Say to yourself mentally

“I totally release all of this jealousy”

Jealousy is a troubling emotion in the anger category.  If we lack in a meaningful area in your live we can be jealous of people who seem to be manifesting abundance in the area.

Ask source for the lesson of this feeling jealousy.  It may come now or some other time.

Say to yourself “I forgive myself for being jealous”

“I have the inner strength to overcome jealousy”

Inhale and Exhale the healing sound sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Instead of being jealous try to let their good fortune inspire you

If you are jealous of a person analyze what they did to attract in their lives what you are jealous that they have and you perceive that you don’t.

Look for clues and hints that will help you bring you to what you desire.

Create the positive energy that will attract your desire.

Realize that jealousy blocks the energy flow of abundance.

Imagine and feel the joy of your wish fulfilled.

Imagine yourself ready to handle your fulfilled wish with harmony and balance.

Imagine a spaciousness in your life that makes room for this fulfilled wish.

Bring your awareness to the chiddakasha

Remember when someone was jealous of you.

Mentally go back into the situation that elicited this emotion

Let yourself see it and hear it like you were watching a movie

What are the particulars?

Where were you?

Who was there?

What are the sights and sounds and smells?

Allow yourself to feel the depth of their feeling of jealousy. Exaggerate it. Become the feeling.

Now shake the whole body vigorously – like and animal shakes off

Shake off the painful feeling

Take a deep breath to release the pain

Say to yourself mentally

“I totally release all of this jealousy”

Ask source for the lesson of this feeling jealousy.  It may come now or some other time.

Forgive any other person involved in the emotional situation of jealousy. Thank him or her for their valuable lesson. See their face very clearly and say to them

“I forgive you and I wish for you a life filled with satisfaction.”

Say to yourself “I forgive myself for my part in the situation and I wish for myself a life filled satisfaction”

Inhale and Exhale the healing sound choooooooooooooooooooooooo

Does this several times

SANKALPA


(Your own Sankalpa as usual or I can learn from and transform my jealousy)

EXTERNALIZATION

Jealousy is a map that helps us guide us to in journey toward self-discovery. Each of our maps are distinct and individual. We may be surprised what we learn about ourselves when we explore the root of our jealousy. When we harness our jealousy and understand what it is indicating about who we are and what we are missing in our own lives we can use jealousy as fuel to propel us forward to a future filled with abundance and satisfaction.

Listen for the sound of the heartbeat . . .
