Samaneri Jayasara

This is the essential teaching

which is like a Garuda flying in the sky.

Cut off consciousness and thinking. All you need to do is remain like the sky.

The view is impartial. The meditation is not focused, yet clear.

The activities are fully integrated with the nature. They flow non-stop and unchecked. You don't need to expect the result.

It will be received spontaneously. The view and result will appear spontaneously from the nature. This is called the activities of Dharmakaya.

Leave all the actions of consciousness, and all that consciousness receives and perceives, just as is.

Then, spontaneously, mental consciousness will be gradually released into nature.

and this non-material nature will become ever more blissful, empty nature.

So come into a comfortable lying down position for this yoga nidra.

You can either lie on a yoga mat on the floor or on your bed as long as it's supportive.

And make sure you're warm and comfortable with a blanket over you if it's suitable for your climate.

Your spine should be straight.

Your hands resting at your sides with your palms face up.

Your knees can be bent, particularly if you've got lower back pain or your legs can be straight with your feet falling out to the side as in the traditional Shavasana position.

And begin by simply noticing the weight of your body against the floor.

Get a sense of its heaviness.

the field of gravity pulling you down.

And as you do that, you can imagine that all the tension, all the tiredness, all the stress,

is just draining away through the floor, out your feet, leaving you to feel more and more relaxed
