Awakening the Senses: A Journey of Desire, Aversion & Sensory Exploration in Yoga Nidra

embody meditation Nov 20, 2023

Are you ready to drift into a tranquil oasis of self-discovery and inner peace? This yoga nidra practice offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life as we embark on a meditative journey through Yoga Nidra. We'll anchor ourselves in the calming rhythm of our breath, connecting deeply with our physical sensations as we explore a safe and comforting space within our minds. Set an intention, surrender to the moment, and join us in this session of deep relaxation and awareness.

 


 

In this Yoga Nidra practice, we dive into the essence of life itself - the profound desire to live that flows through every cell of our being. As we embark on this journey, be prepared to traverse a landscape of sensations, each serving as a pathway to deeper presence and self-awareness.

 

Desire and Aversion: A Delicate Interplay

As you delve deeper into your practice, you'll encounter the fascinating interplay of desire and aversion. These two forces, often in opposition, shape our experiences and choices in life. In the realm of sensations, desire can manifest as an attraction, a longing, or a yearning. Conversely, aversion emerges as a sense of repulsion, avoidance, or discomfort.

 

In this Yoga Nidra practice, I invite you to explore these sensations as they arise and subside with each breath. Picture yourself in a realm of complete stillness, a space where you can observe these sensations without judgment. It's an opportunity to embrace the dance of passion, curiosity, and avoidance with equanimity and grace.

 

Awakening to the Senses

As you delve deeper into the sensations, you awaken to your senses in a profound way. This heightened sensory awareness allows you to connect more deeply with your physical bodies, bringing you into a state of physical embodiment. It's an experience of being fully present in the here and now, grounded in the sensations of the moment.

 

Delving into Sensuality

Sensuality is a gift that often lies dormant within us. In this meditation, we'll delve into the depths of the Siren's call, embracing our sensuality and the physical experiences it offers. It's a journey of reawakening your innocent sensual nature, allowing you to fully embrace the physicality of life.

 

Balancing Opposite Sensations

The sensations of desire and aversion hold immense power over us. They can lead us into distraction and chaos when not understood and harnessed. In yoga, we learn that control over these sensations can lead us towards enlightenment. By understanding what these sensations feel like in the body, we become more informed in our choices. We can navigate life's ups and downs from a place of moderation and equanimity.

 

Your Journey

Throughout this practice, we'll call upon two visual energies: the Siren and the Womb. These energies are not only deeply sensual but also rich in symbolism. They represent intimacy, growth, pleasure, and desire. Through the combination of sensation and visualization, you'll be invited to connect with the energy of growth and vitality, all while maintaining a deep connection to the life force energy that sustains you. This journey may lead to reconnection and even rebirth.
