Hello,
This is Deborah Rogers,
Holistic Occupational Therapist.
And today I invite you into healing and affirmation meditation.
So as you get comfortable,
I invite you to take a couple of nice breaths.
Just settling in.
And the in-breath just saying hello to your body.
And on the out breath,
Just offering any tension to let go.
Telling your body it has permission to let go of all the energy that's no longer needed.
Inviting it to just fall away from the body.
And on the next in-breath,
Just breathing in positive healing energy.
And on the out-breath,
Continuing to release any tension,
Any energy you don't need.
Breathing in healing energy.
And releasing anything that doesn't need to be held in the body or mind.
Now I invite you to bring to your mind an image of the beach.
It could be a place you've been before or that you make up in your imagination.
It can be sitting on the beach or lying down in the sand,
Whatever is comfortable.
And in your mind,
Just look around and notice how the sky is so clear and blue.
Even perhaps feeling that expansiveness of the sky.
On that expansiveness in your whole body.
Found the space in your body.
The space between the muscles.
The organs.
Even the space between the cells.
And the space around the outside of your body.
And if you have thoughts that are coming and going,
Just noticing that there is also space between thoughts.
And then just noticing the sunlight in the sky at that perfect temperature at the beach.
Perhaps feeling the warmth on your body,
Just melting away any tensions in your muscles.
And as your muscles let go.
Begin to feel ease.
Tensions dissolve and just melt away.
Perhaps you feel a gentle breeze every now and then.
It is almost like feeling a breeze of relief.
A breeze of relief.
And a sense of peace from being here.
At the ocean.
As you begin to feel a oneness with the ocean.
And the sky.
Grounded in the sand.
Looking around,
Just notice the colors around you.
Color of the sand.
The glistening of the sun off the blue ocean.
The reflection of the blue sky in the ocean.
You hear the waves as they gently come into the shore.
And then release back into the ocean.
Perhaps even imagining your feet might be touching the water.
And as a wave gently comes in,
It washes over your feet.
Over as much as your body feels comfortable.
And then it takes away back into the ocean,
Any stress.
Any tension mentally,
Physically or emotionally back into the ocean.
Gently coming in and washing over you and releasing back into the ocean.
You begin to feel lighter and lighter.
As everything gently releases from you that's no longer needed.
And then just noticing the space around your body.
Perhaps breathing into the space around your body or just sensing all that space.
Feeling how your body is connected to that space.
Your body just doesn't end at the skin.
Your energy just doesn't end there.
It continues into the space and you feel expansiveness.
You feel the expansiveness of possibilities.
And you begin to feel this sense of oneness or completeness.
All that is around you,
The sun,
The sky,
The ocean.
The air.
You begin to feel more and more at peace.
The peace that's all around you gently begins to seep into your energy around you and into your pores.
Begin to feel and become a part of this peace.
Your body just feels this beautiful sense of relief.
And ease.
And peace.
You and even a knowing of what can be and what is.
Your muscles begin to feel more ease.
Your whole being begins to feel more ease.
The mind continues to calm.
And the body continues to soften and let go.
And just be.
In and a part of this moment.
As the space around you continues to become part of your body.
Your body opens up to this expansiveness of all that is.
You feel so good and in such relief.
And perhaps even a sense of joy or gratitude.
Just allowing yourself to feel that within you.
So deeply that even your cells feel it.
Your heart feels it.
Your mind feels the joy,
The peace,
And the gratitude.
You feel strong.
You feel the strength in your legs.
In your arms.
In your body.
And you ground into that strength within you,
Within your body.
And you begin to affirm to yourself,
I am recovered.
And you just don't say it to yourself.
You actually are surprised how you can feel this as well.
I am recovering.
I am healthy.
And you begin to even feel this more deeply in your body.
I am healthy.
My body knows how to heal.
Even the skin in your body feels calm and cool.
And you affirm,
My body feels comfortable.
And you feel that comfort.
Your body lets go and relaxes a little more.
It's knowing how comfortable it feels.
Embrace that comfort.
Affirming my body feels comfortable.
And you affirm,
I feel good about each day.
I feel good about each day.
Knowing that each day is an opening.
A blank page.
That offers you opportunities and possibilities for whatever you want to manifest in your life.
As you imagine the day that awaits,
You affirm to yourself.
I embrace each day.
And you feel even excitement for the day,
For what it can be.
And what you can make of that day.
And the possibilities that come your way.
Perhaps even unexpected surprises.
I embrace each day.
Your body doesn't even just think all these affirmations,
It feels it.
Your mind feels it.
They know to be the truth.
Affirming I am recovered.
I am healthy.
My body and mind feel comfortable and calm.
I feel good about each day.
I embrace each day.
And as you feel the power of your thoughts,
You then release these affirmations out into the sky and the ocean.
With a sense of trust and knowing.
That you are watched over.
That all is good.
Your body feels vitality and healthy.
And at peace.
And it feels so good to be in your body as you're here in the sand.
Listening to the ocean.
The rhythm of the waves.
Feeling the warmth of a gentle sun.
And the little breeze that passes by to cool you.
And you just rest here in peace.
Just being here.
Nothing to do.
Just being with you.
