Welcome to your after-surgery healing session.
Trusting your body's natural healing wisdom meditation.
This is Jacqueline,
Your guide for the session.
Congratulations on a successful surgery you've gone through.
It's wonderful that you've chosen to give yourself this time to enhance and speed up your body's natural healing process.
Now,
Let's take one slow breath in.
And slowly exhale.
As you continue to breathe naturally.
Find yourself in a quiet place.
Maybe sit down or lie down comfortably as you settle in.
You can ignore any noise in the background.
Just pay attention to my words,
My voice or the space between each phrase You know right after the surgery,
Your body has already begun an incredible healing process.
Millions of cells working together,
Moment by moment.
Often without you noticing.
Today,
There is nothing you need to fix.
Nothing you need to accomplish or achieve.
You can simply allow yourself to rest,
Relax and heal.
Your body knows how to heal.
And healing happens remarkably well when the body feels safe and relaxed.
Now,
Let's take another slow breath in and gently breathe out.
Again,
Inhale and exhale Breathing in comfort.
And breathing out any unnecessary tension.
One more slow breath in.
And allow yourself to settle down Now notice your attention.
How it can move freely without any effort.
That's very good.
And if you like Gently move your attention to your feet.
You don't have to make them relax.
Simply notice your feet.
Perhaps they are already becoming softer.
And heavier.
More comfortable as time goes by.
That feeling can slowly travel upwards.
Through your calves your knees your thighs and you can feel that your hips is softening Your abdomen is becoming more comfortable allowing only the muscle that no longer need to work to simply let go.
Notice your chest rising and falling Your shoulders may discover they've been carrying more than they need.
And perhaps they can put that weight down just for now Your arms become pleasantly heavy and your hands relaxed your fingers relaxed and as your attention travels up to your neck your jaw your cheeks and forehead.
You notice even the tiny muscles around your eyes can soften your whole body.
Finding its way.
To be more comfortable.
And more soft.
Finding its own perfect level of comfort.
Now imagine You are walking through a rainbow from the outside in.
With each color you step in.
You're going to feel more relaxed.
And more comfortable.
Now stepping into the red light feeling totally relaxed.
Moving inward.
Now the beautiful orange lights.
Even more relaxed.
Moving in,
Now the soft yellow light.
As you continue to relax you move in now the peaceful green light cool and nice continue into the refreshing blue light just what you need.
And finally step into the welcoming purple light feeling completely relaxed.
And let the healing energy overwhelm you.
That's very good.
Imagine yourself.
Arriving at a beautiful place in nature.
Right near that rainbow.
Perhaps.
It's beside a peaceful lake.
Or somewhere only your imagination knows.
There is no right or wrong place.
Only the place where your body naturally feels safe and open to healing.
Notice the colors.
The sound.
The temperature of the air.
Everything here seems to whisper.
That you can rest.
Completely.
Right now.
And as you rest your nervous system begins to settle down You're breathing slow and steady.
Your heart knows exactly what to do.
Every breath reminds your body I am safe.
I am well.
I am going to be okay.
Imagine that somewhere in this peaceful place,
There is a warm,
Gentle light not too bright just perfectly comforting.
Knowing this light represents your body's natural healing intelligence.
The same intelligence.
That healed every scrap.
Every bruise.
Every burn and cut,
Small or big throughout your entire life.
It has always known what to do.
And it still does Allow this warm light to slowly move toward you.
Perhaps it surrounds your entire body.
Like a soft golden blanket.
Warm,
Comfortable,
And protective now.
Very gently.
Allow this healing light.
To drift toward the area that has been healing after surgery.
There's nothing to force.
Simply imagine.
That every healthy cell.
Recognizes exactly what it needs.
Each cell communicating peacefully with the next.
Working together calmly.
Efficiently.
At exactly the right place.
Imagine.
Fresh oxygen arriving.
With every easy breath.
Supplying your body the very force of life.
Smoothly and steadily.
Healthy circulation,
Bring in nourishment.
To the area that you need the most your immune system working wisely and appropriately.
Inflammation settling exactly as your body intends.
Perhaps The feeling of comfort gradually increasing.
Noticing your strength quietly returning.
You don't have to make this happen.
Your body already knows.
You're simply giving it a peaceful environment to continue doing what it naturally does best Sometimes after surgery,
The mind tries to stay alert.
Watching,
Checking,
Wondering.
And that's totally fine and normal.
Your mind has been trying to protect you.
So now.
You may gently thank your mind for caring so much.
And let it know for this few moments.
It doesn't have to stay on guard.
Your medical team has already done their work.
Your body is now doing its work.
And your mind may simply rest.
Like a faithful guardian taking a well-deserved break.
That is very good.
With each passing day.
You may notice yourself becoming a little more comfortable.
A little more confident.
That healing is happening.
A little more patient.
With your recovery.
Healing has its rhythm.
Doesn't have to be rushed.
Your body is like a spiral.
Going toward the right direction.
Nature has its own beautiful timing.
Your body knows.
What is the best timing?
You may begin noticing small signs of progress.
Perhaps a little more energy.
A little better appetite.
A little more ease.
More comfort.
Each small improvement.
Becomes evidence.
That your body is moving steadily toward wellness.
You can trust the process.
You can trust your body.
You can allow yourself to receive help when you need it.
To rest when you need it.
To move.
When your body calls for it.
Or when your healthcare team advises it.
And you can celebrate.
Every gentle step.
Forward.
And upward sometimes.
Progress is like a spiral staircase.
It goes 5 steps to the right and 4 steps to the left.
Remain confident.
That you are moving toward the complete recovery,
Your body will eventually arrive.
And you may even surprised.
Many parts of your body will be renewed.
And totally upgraded.
To even better serving your everyday life.
Serving your dreams and wishes.
Imagine yourself.
In a few weeks from now.
Looking back at today.
Perhaps smiling softly.
Realizing how much healing has already taken place.
Noticing yourself moving a little more freely Breathing more comfortably.
Feeling grateful for everything your body has accomplished.
You don't need perfection.
Only progress.
And the progress is now unfolding.
Take a moment now to thank your body.
Not because it has been perfect.
But because it has never stopped trying to keep you alive.
Every heartbeat.
Every breath.
Every healing cell working quietly,
Faithfully,
Day and night.
Your body appreciates kindness.
Appreciates patience.
Appreciates your love and gratitude.
And now I'm going to be quiet for a few moments.
For your mind,
Body,
And spirit to take in all the beneficial messages you heard.
Before we come to the end of this session,
You will hear a gentle chime.
And I'll guide you to safely ending this meditation.
In a few moments.
I will count from 1 to 5.
Returning refreshed.
Peaceful and carrying this sense of trust with you.
1.
Bringing fresh energy back into your body.
2.
Taking a slightly deeper breath.
Your heart rate,
Body temperature.
Blood pressure Now returning to normal.
3.
Gently becoming aware.
Of the room around you.
Four.
You may wiggle your fingers and toes.
Introducing some movement back to your body in five.
You may use your hand.
To gently massage your ears,
Your eyes and your face.
Take as long as you need to slowly open your eyes whenever you are ready.
Feeling calm,
Comfortable?
Grateful.
And ready to continue allowing your body to heal in its own perfect way.
Take one more deep breath in.
And exhale Remember your body has been healing every day of your life.
And today You simply gave it the gift of peace and love.
And appreciation.
May this feeling of trust Be with you.
For the rest of this day.
