This is one of the yoga nidrā practices included in the Treasury of Transcripts in ‘Nidrā Shakti: The Power of Rest – An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Yoga Nidrā’.
This nidrā is as easy to remember as one, two, three. It begins with tensing and releasing physically to the count of three. Counting the breath follows for focusing and centering. Unnecessary physical, mental, and emotional tension is swept away with an imaginary broom to clear the space for insights and creativity to flourish. Time is given for sensing one’s experience, just as it is. As usual, a heartfelt pledge (saṃkalpa) is used at the beginning and the end. The order of stages in this nidrā moves through the first four of the five kośas, from the physical aspect of our being, through energetic/pranic, mental, and intuitive.
