This tape will enable you to focus on the sense of calm and healing that comes through relaxation.
Begin by getting into a comfortable position,
Either sitting in a chair or lying in a bed.
Let your breathing become smooth and regular,
Just the right depth and just the right frequency.
Now take in a slow,
Deep breath.
Breathe in and hold it.
And now,
Breathe out slowly through slightly parted lips and just relax.
Allow feelings of relaxation to begin spreading over your entire body.
Experience yourself letting go and becoming more and more relaxed.
Your mind influences your body.
Your mind can tell your body what to do.
Let your thoughts now go to your hands.
See a circle of rainbow light at your fingertips.
As you look at this circle of light,
Choose the color of the rainbow that is most healing for you at this moment.
You begin to feel the warmth of this color as it flows into your body through your fingertips.
All the muscles in your fingers relax as the energy flows in.
The relaxation then moves into your hands and up into your forearms.
All the time,
The muscles are letting go,
Releasing more and more.
You now feel this healing rainbow light move into your elbows and into your upper arms.
Now traveling throughout your shoulders,
The relaxing energy releases all tension.
The muscles in your shoulders become more deeply and completely relaxed.
The circle of light moves into your neck and then begins to encircle the muscles in your chin,
Your mouth,
Through your cheeks,
Your nose,
And surrounding your eyes.
Just notice the muscles in your face as they smooth out and relax more and more.
The healing rainbow light moves across your forehead.
Your entire face feels so comfortable and is completely relaxed.
As the calming energy covers the top of your head,
The relaxation also fills your brain with a healing energy.
The rainbow light continues to move,
Flowing down the back of your head and into your neck and shoulders.
Notices your muscles become more deeply and completely relaxed.
Enjoy this feeling.
Now the soothing energy moves into your upper back.
Feel the muscles relaxing more and more.
The healing light fills the central part of your body,
Filling your chest with a warmth and a comfortable feeling of relaxation.
Experience the healing energy as you take in a slow deep breath.
Notice the circle of rainbow light flow into your lungs and move through you in a gentle and swirling motion.
As you exhale,
Allow all impurities,
All tensions to be released,
Breathing in,
Breathing out,
Calm and relaxed.
This healing relaxation moves now into your abdominal area,
Touching and filling all of your organs.
The relaxation continues to calm you as it moves into your pelvic area,
Down into your thighs,
Your knees,
Your calf muscles,
Into your ankles and into your feet.
The circle of healing rainbow light now surrounds your entire body.
Allow this light to fill you.
Allow it to renew you.
And a few moments now enveloped in this healing light.
In your mind's eye,
See yourself becoming healthy and free from cancer.
Picture the cancer cells in your body as being weak,
Debilitated cells.
Feel your own body cells as being powerful and strong.
Visualize the cancer cells as being in darkness and the rest of you as being in a colorful rainbow healing light.
Perhaps you are receiving chemotherapy,
Radiation or other complementary treatments.
What a powerful ally these can be.
Create a mental picture of your illness.
What would it look like?
Then visualize your treatment destroying the cancer cells.
As you see the cells being destroyed,
See them being flushed out of your body and then being replaced by healthy normal cells.
The healthy cells multiply and the white blood cells remove the debris and cleanse the area.
Not only is your physical body being filled with a healing light,
Your emotional and spiritual is being filled as well.
Allow this rainbow light to flow through you,
Mending your brokenness,
Bringing you to a deeper sense of wholeness.
Know that you are strengthened and renewed in this calming,
Healing relaxation.
Begin to see yourself successfully moving toward the goals in your life.
What do you want to be doing in one month?
In six months?
A year?
Five years?
Picture yourself involved and interacting with others.
Who would you choose to spend your time with?
The circle of rainbow light is always with you.
Allow this light to bring you hope and to bring you healing.
And congratulate yourself for participating in your own recovery.
Continue to remain quiet for a few more moments and allow the healing rainbow light to envelop you.
You may choose to stay where you are and continue to relax.
Or when you're ready,
Stretch your arms,
Stretch your legs and open your eyes.
Know that as you get up,
We will carry with you the healing relaxation that you just experienced.
Thank you.
