This yoga nidra reminds us to embrace the good in ourselves and others. It aims to help us quiet the inner critic that loves to focus on the negative, to provide us with a more balanced view of ourselves and others. During the body scan (annamaya kosha phase), we embrace the imagery of rewarding ourselves with little gold stars, the type that school teachers often gave out as a reward for good work/behaviour when I was in grade school. The cover photo with its glinting sun evokes a natural gold star as well. I hope you enjoy this yoga nidra.
