Yoga Nidra “Sleep” Body part Focus
B/ Focus your Attention systematically on each body-part.
- Write down all your body’s extremities, joints, bones, including arm-, leg-, feet-, toe-, hand-parts.
- The cells of each part comprise of molecules, which comprise of atoms, of which each consist of a nucleus with electron particles orbiting in the space around it.
- This space of nothingness covers more than 99.9% of the volume of each cell and thus each bodily part. Consequently, more than 99% of our fysical body is empty space although 99% of our body appears to be either fluid or solid matter.
- Is it possible to imagine your finger being a cloud of particles filled with, surrounded by just space? Do NOT focus on anything in particular, but let mind, body respond naturally when you imagine certain parts and the space between them.
- Do NOT resist any feelings or thoughts that come up. Let them be and disappear. If they don’t, then apply the C2C exhortation on them. Start with eyes closed. Practice it later on with eyes half open.
- Is it possible to visualize the space between your eyes? How about the space inside your nose? Inside your ears? Inside your throat? Inside your mouth?
- Can you imagine the space inside your head?
- How about feeling the surface of your tongue? How about imagining the volume of your tongue?
- What would it feel like to imagine the 3D presence of your teeth, your gums, your lips, your jaws, your eyelids, or the muscles around your eyes?
- Try to imagine each distance between the various body elements written down in Step 1.
- Have someone read all of them to you every 15 sec.
- Try to imagine the volume of your arms, hands, fingers, upper leg, knees, lower leg, feet, toes?
- Focus your attention on your belly and chest being filled with air? Can you feel them being emptied?
- Is it possible to imagine space touching and permeating certain parts of your body?
- Can you experience the space of the whole room surrounding you? Can you imagine the distance between you and each of the walls? How about the distance between you and the ceiling?
- Can you imagine hearing the silence around you, out of which sounds and mind dialogue arises?
