Mindfully healing pain.
Take a moment to settle into a supported,
Comfortable position.
Bring your awareness to the area in your body where you feel you are experiencing pain or discomfort.
If you're experiencing pain or discomfort in more than one area,
Bring your awareness to the most intense spot.
Now that you have identified this area,
We're going to engage our creative mind to assist us in toning down or eliminating these difficult sensations.
First,
Let's define the sensation a bit.
What is the quality of the sensation?
Is it sharp,
Achy,
Dull?
Is it static,
Shooting,
Throbbing?
Does it have a temperature,
Cool,
Warm,
Hot?
As you hold this discomfort in your mind,
See if you can give it a color.
Is it dark,
Light?
Can you see through it?
Does it have a solid quality?
Good.
Now let's give that sensation a shape.
Where are the boundaries of this sensation?
Where does the sensation begin and where does it end?
Can you outline it so that a shape or shapes emerge?
Is the shape smooth,
Rough,
Jagged?
Take a moment to witness the sensation and further define it as you see fit.
Now that the sensation has been clearly depicted,
See if you can come up with a color or colors that would soothe and heal this area.
Does this color have qualities that aid in its healing properties?
Imagine this color coming into the body with your in-breath.
With each inhale,
More healing color is brought to the area.
Notice what effect this new breath is having.
As you exhale,
The uncomfortable sensation is eased,
Flowing out of your body with the breath.
With each inhale,
More healing color,
And with each exhale,
You find deeper relaxation and ease.
Inhaling,
Healing,
Exhaling,
And finding ease.
Inhaling,
Healing,
Exhaling,
Ease.
Inhaling,
Healing,
And exhaling,
Ease.
