To begin,
Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit or lie down.
Take a moment to feel the surface beneath your body supporting you.
Allow your body to soften and melt into it.
Allow the muscles in your face to relax.
Feel your forehead and eyebrows soften your cheeks and jaw release.
Feel the tension in your face start to drop away,
Drifting downwards with gravity.
Take a couple of slow,
Deep,
Relaxing breaths.
Thank you to this breath of yours,
A loyal and constant companion along the way.
As you inhale deeply,
Feel the warm,
Calm energy from your breath sweep through your body.
Softening any areas that are tight or tense.
As you exhale,
Let it all go.
Allow your inhalation to loosen.
And your exhalation release.
Good.
Any thoughts or strong emotions are slipping away.
You're breathing slow and steady.
Each inhalation relaxing you.
Each exhalation allowing you to sink deeper and deeper into a state of calm.
Now.
Visualize a special place,
Either imaginary or real,
Where you feel safe and comfortable,
Calm and peaceful.
A peaceful sanctuary where you want to be.
As you drift towards your special place,
You notice that there is a charming set of stairs leading down to it.
Pause at the top of these stairs and take in the colors and the scenery all around you.
Notice the sounds that fill the air.
And feel the air on your skin as you stand at the top of the stairs leading to your special place.
With each step down,
You become more and more attuned to the safety and beauty of this place.
With each step down,
Your weight floats up.
You feel happy,
Comfortable,
And grateful to be here.
You are safe and relaxed.
You are filled with a sense that something wonderful is about to happen here.
Five.

.
Four.
Three.
You one.
You are fully in your special place.
And you hear the quiet sound of lapping water nearby.
You move to look at it.
As you gaze down into the surface of the water,
You see an image.
At first,
The image is shifting and shimmering.
And then with peaceful curiosity,
You notice the image becoming clearer.
The image of preparations for healing in an operating room.
Capable staff are readying equipment and working together.
A team of competent collaborators.
As you watch the team,
You lean forwards towards the image of the operating room so that you can move freely around the room to follow your curiosity.
Your calm,
Tranquil self can see that a patient is being wheeled in.
And it is you.
Looking comfortable and relaxed,
Surrounded by capable,
Caring people.
You can also see that all around you is a circle of spiritual protectors and guardian angels.
A spiritual team that is lending you their strength and support.
Encouraging you and surrounding you with a soft protective light.
Perhaps you recognize some of the faces as those who loved you from the past or present.
Or perhaps they are spiritual guides who've been with you your entire life.
Sense this sacred circle filling up the room,
Protecting you,
Proud of your courage,
Pleased that you are receiving help so that you can be as healthy and strong as you can be.
You watch as both your medical and spiritual team surrounds you in this carefully orchestrated process,
Safely and easily working with your body.
Calmly and efficiently navigating the procedure.
And finding it easy to do everything that is needed.
Your body is cooperative,
Even slowing down the blood flow to make the work go more smoothly.
You can hear the pleased murmurs of the staff as they complete their work.
As they mend your body and soul with steady,
Respectful hands.
You picture yourself after the surgery is over,
During recovery.
Healing quickly,
Regaining strength,
And returning to a state of vibrant health.
Then the image in the water shimmers and you return to your special place.
Place a hand on your chest and take a moment to acknowledge your inner strength and resilience.
Feeling gratitude for this loyal body of yours that has been a steady companion all of these years.
And then gently float back over to that charming set of stairs As you climb upwards,
You feel strength and vitality in your body.
You carry with you the power and healing of this place.
You are calm and comfortable,
Safe and relaxed.
Whenever you are ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Carrying with you a sense of peace,
Confidence,
And trust in the healing journey ahead.
You you
