YOGA NIDRA FOR NITYAKLINNA is available on my YouTube Channel
https://youtu.be/fYCk1t0iKOw
This Yoga Nidra is best practiced two nights after the new moon. The red goddess, Lallita has a thousand names. Tonight, two nights after the new moon, her name is Nityaklinna. Nityaklinna means she who is always wet.
After the New Moon, the Moon waxes, meaning it gets bigger and it builds up in strength and intensity. The waxing moon brings us hope and that shows us that things are moving forward in our life’s journey.
The new moon provides a burst of energy and growth. The waxing moon symbolizes that our plans, dreams and ideas are growing. Because it is associated with growth, the waxing crescent moon has been a symbol for fertility since ancient times.
Tonight our ideas are fertile and our mind is wet and receptive. This is the time to focus on receiving. Affirm your connection with Nityaklinna by saying to yourself mentally three times, “I honor my receptivity.”
The waxing crescent moon of Nityaklinna provides the energy, strength and power you need to germinate your ideas, plans and dreams.
Visualize a pitch black night sky. Place a crescent moon inside that sky. See the silver sliver of the Moon. Imagine the body as a plot of fertile land where a beautiful garden will be planted. And as a body part is named, visualize a seed being placed on that body. Begin planting seeds on the body, that is the Self.
Place a seed on the right hand thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky finger. Place a seed on the palm of the hand, the back of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder, armpit, side of the right rib cage, right waist, right hip. Seed at the upper leg, knee cap, lower leg, ankle, heel, instep, soul of the foot, top of the foot, and place seeds across the right big toe, second toe, third toe, fourth toe and fifth toe.
Stay awake and aware and bring the seeds to the left side of the body. Placing a seed on the left hand thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky finger, palm of the hand, back of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder, armpit, side of the left rib cage, left waist, left hip, upper leg, knee cap, lower leg, ankle, heel, instep, sole of the foot, top of the foot, and seeds at the left big toe, second toe, third toe, fourth toe and fifth toe.
Stay awake and aware and bring the seeds to the top of the head, the forehead, the right temple, the left temple, the right eyebrow, the left eyebrow eyebrow, the eyebrow center. The right eye, the left eye, the bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose, the right nostril, the left nostril, upper lip, lower lip, the chin, the throat. Seeds at the right collarbone, the left collarbone, the hollow between the collarbones, the right chest, the left chest, the heart center, the upper abdomen, the navel, the lower abdomen, the pelvis, the buttocks.
And now feel roots come out of the lower back, the middle back, the upper back. Feel roots forming up and down the entire spinal column. Roots descending into the ground from the right shoulder blade, the left shoulder blade. Roots at the back neck, the back of the head, and the top of the head.
Now begin to water the whole right arm. Water the whole left arm. Feel the water across both arms together. Water across the right leg. Water across the left leg. Water both legs together.
Feel flowers, herbs, trees and shrubs sprouting out of the whole front of the body. Feel the roots strengthening and descending it to the ground out of the whole back of the body. Feel the whole body together sprouting and growing a beautiful garden. Feel and see a beautiful garden created from the body. See the Tableau, the image of the beautiful garden that is you. . . .
Let go of the body rotation. . .
Let go of the garden knowing that you are the garden garden is always you. . .
Bring awareness to the breath.
Notice the rise and fall of the breath.
The Sanskrit alphabet is more than just letters that you read. Each syllable requires a perfect pattern of breath to form. Chanting the Sanskrit alphabet is a form of pranayama. When we chant letters of the Sanskrit alphabet with awareness and intention we dance with the Divine.
Each of the sixteen goddesses of the waxing moon cycle, the lunar nityas are represented by a letter from the Sanskrit alphabet. Nityaklinna is represented by the short vowel sound inhale thinking “E”. Inhale thinking “E” exhale thinking “E”. . . Inhale and exhale thinking a short “E”. . . Stay with the practice of inhale thinking “E” and exhale thinking “E.” . . . Continue the practice of mentally chanting and repeating ”E”. . .
Let go of the practice of mentally chanting “E” and come back to natural breathing. . .
Nityaklinna’s Shakti powers are enjoyment and freedom. Connect to her feminine energy by chanting her name, “Om Nityaklinnyai Namaha” repeatedly.
Om Nityaklinnyai Namaha!
Om Nityaklinnyai Namaha!
Om Nityaklinnyai Namaha!
Continue to chant, “Om Nityaklinnyai Namaha!”
Let go of the practice of chanting “Om Nityaklinnyai Namaha” and bring the awareness to the chidakasha, the mind space in front of the closed eyes. Bring awareness to the chidakasha, the mind movie. Notice if any patterns are colors are arising. . . .
In this sacred space, the chidakasha, see her there smiling sweetly Nityaklinna. She is restless with desire. Her sultry eyes are moist with tears and empathy. She carries a cup to catch the beads of sweat that drop from her brow. She's flexible and sensuous and her movements. . . .
See her there, Nityaklinna, the goddess of compassion, enjoyment and liberation. She is a manifestation of the red goddess Lalita. She is smeared in red sandal paste. She wears red clothing. All this red color emphasizes her connection with Lalita. . . .
See Nityaklinna, she has a half moon on her forehead. In her hands, she holds a noose, a goad, a cup and a skull. One hand forms the mudra of granting favors and another hand forms the mudra of dispelling fear. . . .
And look into Nityaklinna’s eyes as she asks you, as she asks all of us, “What do you desire?” . . .
Hear another question comes from the lips of Nityaklinna, “Where can you experience more compassion in life?” . . .
“What do you want to be liberated from?” . . .
Commune with Nityaklinna to reclaim personal pleasure. . . . Pleasure is a birth rite.
Lubricate the parts of you that have become brittle and dry with this practice of connecting to Nityaklinna, she who is always wet. . . .
See her their Nityaklinna, the goddess of wetness, the goddess who appears two nights after the new moon. . . .
Say goodbye to Nityaklinna, this red goddess.. . . See her walk away, knowing that you can call on her after the yoga nidra practice, perhaps tonight before you go to bed, or next month two nights after the new moon.
Let's revisit the affirmation that was used in the beginning of the yoga nidra practice, the affirmation of Nityaklinna, “I honor my receptivity.” Repeat the affirmation three times with full awareness and the confidence that it will come true . . . .
Once again feel all the points of contact between the body and floor.. . Feel supported across the entire body. . . Feel the head supported, the shoulder supported, the arms supported, the back supported, the legs supported. Feel the whole body supported. . . .
Come back to the breath. Extend the breath from the head to the fingertips. . . Now, extend the breath from the head to the toes. . . .
Make each inhale deeper and deeper. . .
Make each exhale fuller and fuller. . . .
Inhaling and exhaling deeply and fully. . . .
Say to yourself mentally, “the practice of Yoga Nidra is now complete”. . .
Keep the eyes closed and begin to wiggle the fingers and the toes. . . Roll the wrists and ankles one way . . . and then in the opposite direction.
Take any kind of intuitive movement the body is asking for with awareness of the geography of your surroundings. . .
.
Roll over on the left side in a fetal position. . . . In this position of rebirth and renewal think of anything or something you want to receive. . . Don't overthink it. Maybe just the first thing that comes to mind. . . .
Push yourself up to a comfortable seated position with hands in prayer, Anjali mudra . . .
Join me in the chanting of Nityaklinna’s name.
Om Nityaklinnyai Namaha!
Om Nityaklinnyai Namaha!
Om Nityaklinnyai Namaha!
Namaste!
