Take a deep slow breath in and out.
Settle your body.
Soften your jaw and your shoulders.
Allow your attention to gently rest on your breath as it flows in and out.
And as you breathe in and out,
Focus on your stomach and the area around it.
Our first affirmation is for the nervous system.
My nervous system is a wise messenger,
Not a source of alarm.
I offer my gut and my brain the gift of calm,
Allowing gentle,
Clear communication to flow between them.
With each breath,
My body remembers its capacity for peace.
The second affirmation is for the gut motility and muscles.
My gut muscles are intelligent and strong.
I trust them to move with a steady,
Natural rhythm.
I release all tension and invite a gentle,
Coordinated dance of digestion,
Allowing food to pass through me with ease and grace.
Our third affirmation is for the gut microbiome.
I honor the vast and brilliant community of life within me.
My gut microbiome is a sacred garden.
I offer it nourishment,
Peace,
And gratitude,
Knowing that as it thrives,
My entire being finds harmony and health.
Our fourth affirmation is for pain and discomfort.
My body is communicating with me.
I listen to these sensations without judgment or fear.
I send waves of soothing energy to any area of discomfort,
Offering compassion and spaciousness where there was once tightness.
I am safe and my body is a trusted friend.
Our fifth and final affirmation is for holistic integration and wholeness.
I am more than my symptoms.
My spirit,
Mind,
And body are a unified whole.
Every part of me is working towards balance and healing.
I am complete,
I am resilient,
And I am in tune with the deep,
Quiet wisdom of my own being.
Continue to take deep breath in and out and continue to abide in the glow of your affirmations as long as you want,
As long as you need to.
And when you're ready,
Feel free to open your eyes.
