Hi this is Amanda and this meditation is a balloon pain relief meditation.
As the name suggests the idea of this meditation is to help you relax and help ease any pain or discomfort that you're currently feeling.
So as much as you can just get yourself comfortable in the spot you're in.
When you're sitting,
Lying down,
Whatever works for you.
Just close your eyes.
I just want you to take three deep calming breaths.
And then and out.
And out.
And as you continue with these breaths.
Just picture yourself holding an uninflated balloon in your hand.
This balloon represents your pain.
Just look at it in your hand.
See its colour?
Is it red?
Orange?
Blue?
Black or some other color.
And look at its shape.
As it sits in your hand.
Is it round,
Short,
Long?
Just take a moment to connect with it.
Remember that this represents your pain.
As you lift the uninflated balloon,
Just stretch it between your hands.
And look at how it stretches and strains in your hand.
How it changes shape under your control.
You are in command of how it moves,
How it expands or how it contracts.
As you take a deep breath in,
And lift the balloon to your lips and as you exhale to inflate the balloon fill each out breath with all the pain,
Upset and unhelpful feelings caused by carrying this pain.
Feel each deep breath.
Breath out.
Shift all your pain.
Heart and emotional baggage.
Let it pass from you into the balloon.
And each inhale will bring you relief,
Lightness,
Peace and happiness.
Just blow one last deep exhale of breath into your pain balloon.
And feel how you are now lighter and freer,
Having passed all that pain and negativity attached with it into your balloon.
Tie the balloon to seal the unwanted energies and pain inside.
Acknowledge that it's time to let them go.
They have taught you what you need to learn and what is left no longer serves you.
Release the balloon from your hands and watch as it floats from your grasp.
Into the air.
And out of your reach.
You feel comforted and peaceful.
As you watch your pain being carried out of your grasp.
And out of your life as the balloon disappears from your view.
And take a deep breath in.
Soak in the peaceful,
Freeing energy.
Your pain is gone.
And you are free.
Repeat this silently to yourself.
Your pain is gone and you are free.
Take one final deep breath.
And as soon as you feel ready.
Open your eyes.
As you open your eyes,
Just remember that you can use this process at any time.
Where you need relief from your pain.
