This deeply immersive Yoga Nidra guides you through the four stages of the perinatal matrices, inspired by the work of Stanislav Grof. Designed as a meditative journey through the archetypal landscapes of birth, this practice explores the cyclical themes of bliss, confinement, struggle, and liberation.
You will begin with grounding, intention-setting, and resourcing before traveling through each matrix:
BPM I — The Amniotic Universe: floating in a state of oneness, bliss, and boundless potential.
BPM II — Cosmic Engulfment: the tightening womb, sensations of restriction, and the dark night of the soul.
BPM III — The Death-Rebirth Struggle: the intense contractions and fiery transformation of emergence.
BPM IV — Death and Rebirth: the breakthrough into light, liberation, and renewal.
This Yoga Nidra is both a journey of deep rest and somatic exploration. Whether you experience it as symbolic storytelling, emotional release, or visionary meditation, this practice invites you to witness, integrate, and release — offering insight, healing, and a felt sense of renewal.
No prior experience is necessary. Simply allow yourself to rest in stillness, follow the guidance, and let the imagery and sensations rise and fall within the safe container of the practice.
