00:00:03 Hi there, I'm Charlotte and I'm going to be leading you through a yoga nidra today to connect with our womb. So this is really important because often when we're going through our fertility journey there can be a bit of a disconnect with the womb space. So if we've been going on this journey for a long time, maybe there's been some challenges or some struggles, we can often feel a kind of negative relationship with our womb. Especially if we've also suffered from things like hormone conditions in the past. Especially if we've also suffered from things like hormone conditions in the past. or if we had a lot of issues around our period, for example, maybe heavy bleeding,
00:00:38 a lot of period pain or PMS, then we can often see the womb in a negative light. It's really important to start to address that connection with the womb, to try to build a more positive relationship with our womb space. So that's what we're gonna be working on today in this practice, and also just inviting some rest
00:00:58 and some relaxation into the body using Yoga Nidra. and some relaxation into the body using Yoga Nidra. So you might need a few props for this, but you can use whatever is around your house. So just take some time, first of all, to set up your space. You can do all of this in bed as well, if that feels more comfortable for you, or you could also do it seated, that's absolutely fine.
00:01:18 I have a yoga mat, so if you're gonna be using the floor, I'm gonna give you some options, but you can also, again, do this in your bed. So we're gonna get ourselves into a pose called queen's pose which is a really deeply restorative pose so we're going to need to prop our back up so queen's pose which is a really deeply restorative pose so we're going to need to prop our back up so that we're at around a kind of 30 degree angle so you could again if you're in bed you could use cushions you could even be lying against the wall i'm going to use prop blocks so i'm going to have
00:01:46 blocks on two settings here so one on a high setting one on a medium setting you can adjust that for whatever feels comfortable for you and I'm going to take a cushion again you could use a pillow you could use a bolster if that feels comfortable and I'm going to place it on top of a pillow you could use a bolster if that feels comfortable and I'm going to place it on top of the blocks just so that it rests there so just make sure that whatever you're using is nice and steady and stable so if you have cushions you're going to place them alongside your body as well so that you can rest your arms onto them. You might also want a blanket because you can get a little bit cold during yoga nidra. If you're in your bed obviously you can just put your duvet
00:02:27 a little bit cold during yoga nidra. If you're in your bed obviously you can just put your duvet cover on top otherwise make sure you're wearing nice warm clothing maybe some socks. If you also have an eye mask you might want to have that handy so get all of your props ready first. I'm going to place a cushion on either side to rest my arms onto and if you have a cushion or our bolster you could also place that underneath the backs of your knees and you could just allow your knees to roll out to the side or if you have a strap you can place it around your lower back your knees to roll out to the side or if you have a strap you can place it around your lower back bring your feet into reclined butterfly so that means you're bringing the soles of the feet
00:03:07 together and you're going to place the strap around the feet you want it to be a distance that feels comfortable for you so not too tight and not too far away so you're just going to place the strap around your hips and then just over the top of your feet and just allow your knees to fall out to the side. So it just means that you don't have to hold your knees in any position, the strap out to the side. So it just means that you don't have to hold your knees in any position, the strap is holding it for you. Make sure that the buckle is not in a position that feels uncomfortable for you. Another option as well would be to place blocks or cushions either side of your knees. If the knees don't touch the ground that might feel quite nice as well. So make sure that the
00:03:48 base of your spine is against your cushion and just lie yourself back covering with a blanket making sure you're nice and warm and comfortable maybe covering your eyes with an eye mask. making sure you're nice and warm and comfortable maybe covering your eyes with an eye mask. You could either rest the hands onto the womb space if you want to try to feel that connection you could place one hand onto the womb one hand onto the chest or you could just rest your hands onto whatever cushions or bolsters that you have next to you. And when you're ready, slowly closing down your eyes, taking a deep breath in through your nose and softly exhaling it out through your mouth. Taking another deep breath in through your nose and softly exhaling it out through your mouth.
00:04:29 mouth. Taking another deep breath in through your nose and softly exhaling it out through your mouth. And with every breath, just allowing yourself to settle into the space here. You can start breathing normally in and out through the nose with every breath just allowing your body to become heavier and heavier releasing any tension and as you continue to breathe in and out through the nose
