Inner Truth Rainbow Journey Practice

About This Class

This 42-minute Yoga Nidra practice by Eric Bennewitz is a fully floor-based, guided relaxation experience conducted entirely in Savasana (lying on the back). The class opens with a progressive muscle contraction-and-release sequence to settle the body into stillness, followed by a detailed systematic body scan that moves awareness methodically through every part of the body — from fingertips to spine centers to the crown of the head. The instructor then guides practitioners through pairs of opposites — heaviness and lightness, contraction and expansion — deepening the hypnagogic state. The heart of the practice is a rich guided visualization: students float on a raft of balloons into a healing rainbow, dissolve into boundless light, and are invited to access their "deepest truth" and heart's desire. The session closes gently with breath deepening, gentle movement of fingers and toes, and a final heart-centered seated moment. A blanket and bolster or pillow under the knees are recommended. The mood is profoundly calming, grounding, and inward-focused, making it especially well-suited to stress, anxiety, poor sleep, and the need for deep mental and emotional restoration.
