Doctors appointments often cause stress,
Overwhelm,
And fear of the what-ifs of life,
Especially if you have past medical issues or concerns.
Know that it's okay to feel your feelings.
You're not alone.
You have full permission to be human,
To feel what you feel,
And you have the power to choose what serves you and release what's keeping you in fear.
Now find a quiet space where you feel safe and uninterrupted.
Sit or lie down,
Letting your body settle in a position that feels gentle and supportive.
Now close your eyes or let your gaze soften.
Take a slow deep breath in through your nose,
Feeling your belly expand,
And exhale gently through your mouth,
Letting any tension soften.
Breathe in peace,
Breathe out stress,
And let's begin this journey to reclaim your power and strength.
Notice your breath,
Soft and steady,
Like a quiet tide of peace.
Peace in your breath,
Releasing stress,
Allowing yourself to soften.
There's no need to change it,
Just let it flow in and out.
And with each inhale,
Imagine a warm golden light filling your body,
Soothing every part of you.
With each exhale,
Release a little of the weight you've been carrying.
Let it drift away like mist dissolving in the morning sun.
Feel your shoulders,
Your chest,
Your heart.
If there's any tightness from past or present medical moments,
That's okay.
You have full permission to be human.
Breathe into those spaces,
Letting the golden light soften them.
Exhale and feel your body sink deeper into comfort,
Held and safe.
Now picture yourself standing at the edge of a serene lake,
Its smooth surface and sparkling under a warm sun.
The air smells fresh and a gentle breeze brushes your skin.
This lake is your sanctuary,
A place where fear fades and your power grows.
In your hands,
You hold the worries about this doctor's visit,
Fears tied to your medical history,
And the what-ifs that feel heavy.
These are just thoughts,
Not your truth.
Imagine each concern as a small stone in your hand.
Label what each one stands for.
Perhaps it's a story you're telling yourself like,
I don't know if I can handle this,
Or a fear from the past like,
What if I get bad news?
Without getting caught up in the emotions,
Just lovingly notice and observe each of these stones that are weighing you down.
One by one,
Toss each one into the lake.
Watch it sink,
Ripples spreading outward and fading into stillness.
With each stone thrown,
Feel your mind grow lighter.
The weight of past challenges dissolve into the water,
Leaving only calm and clarity.
Now see yourself stepping towards a soft glowing light at the lake's edge.
This light is your inner power,
Steady and unshakable.
It wraps you up like a warm embrace,
Reminding you that you are more than your medical history.
You are whole,
Capable,
And ready to care for yourself.
The doctor's visit is a step towards honoring your body,
A moment to take your power back.
As you breathe in this light,
Allow these words to root deeply in your heart.
If it feels good,
You can place your hand on your heart space to receive it even more fully.
I let go of past experiences and open myself to positive outcomes.
I am healthy.
I am happy.
I am whole.
I am resilient.
I am grounded.
I am safe.
I release fear and embrace the opportunity to care for myself.
Let these words glow within you,
A reminder of your strength.
Repeat them silently,
Feeling their warmth fill you.
You are not your past challenges.
You are this moment,
Powerful and present.
Gently bring your awareness back to your body.
Feel the surface beneath you,
The air touching your skin.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Grounding yourself here and now.
This lake,
This light lives within you,
Ready to support you through any visit.
You have full permission to be human,
And you are ready to take this step with courage.
When you feel ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying this warmth and power with you.
You are in control of this moment.
You got this.
