Journey Through the Five Koshas: A Guided Yoga Nidra for Deep Relaxation

In this episode, Wes guides you through a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra practice designed to bring you into profound relaxation and expanded awareness. Moving gently through the five koshas—the physical, energetic, mental, astral, and bliss bodies—you’ll be invited to release tension, calm the nervous system, and access the spacious stillness of yogic sleep. This guided experience includes: * An intentional preamble exploring the purpose of Yoga Nidra and the koshas * Preparation and relaxation in shavasana * A sankalpa (heartfelt intention) practice * Rotation of consciousness through the body * Breath awareness and mindful counting * Sensation awareness (heaviness, lightness, warmth, coolness, balance) * A vivid guided visualization rooted in imagery of nature, renewal, and release * Integration back into the body and reaffirmation of your intention Whether you are new to Yoga Nidra or a seasoned practitioner, this journey offers a space to rest deeply, reprogram habitual thought patterns, and open to the possibility of connection and bliss. Allow yourself to surrender fully, follow Wes’s voice, and carry this grounded peace into your day. Music by Christopher Lloyd Clarke. Provided by Enlightened Audio.
