Taijasa in the Sanskrit word for radiant awareness. The meditation uses guided imagery to take you into the depths of your being where you become one with the great I AM.

The practice concludes with Nadi Shodana, alternate nostril breathing to balance the pingala and ida nadis, the positive and negative energy currents, allowing Shushumna, the central nadi to flow freely from Muhladhara, the root chakra at the base of the spine, to Shahashrara, the crown chakra, your link to the Divine.

Guided Yoga Nidra, Deep Relaxation based on "The Lord's Prayer and the Seven Chakras" by Dana Williams
Can be done in shivasana, the supine resting pose for Yoga Nidra, or seated. Based on the Sandra Ingerman's Transfiguration Ceremony on her website under Transmutation News. Best done outdoors, but if indoors, imagine yourself in a favorite spot outdoors. I imagine myself under one of the ginkgo trees in my painting of the backyard of the Pageland Farm, my childhood home.
