This take on Yoga Nidra emphasizes our connection with the living Earth, as we gently prepare for sleep. We work with the terms agaya – wonder, awe, joy, and reverence – and ubuntu – interdependence, reciprocity, and right relationship. We set intentions (sankalpa) that we and all beings abide in agaya and ubuntu. Our body scan, gentle repetition of ubuntu and agaya, and nature imagery connect us with the beauty and quiet mystery of the nighttime. This track has gentle background music by Liam Wilkinson.
