Taking Medicine Within

Learn to harness the healing potential of loving kindness with your medical treatments and/or medications whatever they may be. Being human is not a mistake. Illness or injuries are not reasons to feel ashamed. Allow this practice to dissolve the resistance, tension, and difficulty we all experience around illness.

A much-needed and very powerful exercise. A true mind-body practice. Helpful for anybody with a chronic or difficult illness. Data shows that our attitude about our therapies can impact our outcomes. I will share this with my Long Covid Recovery group here on IT.

Thank you 🦋🦋🦋for the wonderful meditation 🌈and your golden advice
🙏Namaste

Thank you so much for this meditation. So many times people try to separate the healing powers of meditation, diet, exercise and medication - Almost as if meditation, diet and exercise can cure my genetic defect. It breaks down so much resistance to harness the powers of meditation and lifestyle and combine them with my
IV medications. There is good health in bringing all these elements together :)

Wow! So insightful and beautiful! I am grateful for this, it will allow to me to change my attitude and lean in towards my medication. Empowering. Thanks 🙏 namaste

A unique take on a practice many of us partake in daily. While I admit to exercising occasional direct attention, awareness, and gratitude towards my medications and treatment, particularly when running into "pill fatigue," I have never thought to formalize it into a practice. This was very well done as a formal practice.

NOTE: Though not stated in the description nor the spoken introduction, this practice will direct you to take medicine (as applicable to your situation), so I would recommend timing this practice for close to a regularly scheduled medication intake. Otherwise, you may visualize it instead. (I tried both ways, and found the actual taking of the medication to make for a more effective practice in that section, but as always, your mileage may vary.)

I would note that discussion of how to handle treatments rather than medications come AFTER the guidance on what to do, so be patient if that is your situation, and know your treatment will be addressed properly after the medication. It also does not necessarily explicitly mention multiple medications nor medications plus treatments, but this is flexible and open enough to put your particular needs into it with little difficulty. It also does not include the emotion of resentment towards having to take medication when it does address one's attitude towards it, but here again, an easy enough swap if that should be necessary.

Overall, great concept, great pacing, unique practice, and one that I highly recommend. I've bookmarked and downloaded this track and plan to keep it handy for those days when I simply want to rebel and not take anything even though I know I should.

Thank you for this practice, Meg. Well done as usual. I see the light in you. 🤲❤️🤲
