Healing Water Chakra Balancing Practice

About This Class

This 37-minute Yoga Nidra practice by Eric Bennewitz is a deeply immersive guided relaxation experience rooted in the ancient tradition of conscious sleep. Lying still in Savasana, students are led through a systematic body scan from fingertips to toes, awakening awareness of each body part before releasing physical, emotional, and mental tension. The class then journeys through all seven chakras — from the root (Muladhara) to the crown (Sahasrara) — using vivid water imagery, healing color visualizations, and seed-syllable vibrations (Lam, Vam, Ram, Yum, Ham, Om) to balance the subtle energy body. A central practice is the Sankalpa — a short, positive, present-tense personal resolve that students are guided to plant in the open unconscious mind at the beginning and end of the session. The class closes with a heart-centered visualization of healing light and unconditional love, followed by a gentle return to waking awareness. Suitable for any time of day (except after eating or caffeine), this practice is ideal for those seeking deep stress relief, emotional release, improved sleep, anxiety reduction, and a sense of grounding and wholeness.
