Transcript

This is Healing University,

And I am Dr.

Micah Howard.

Welcome to this special session titled,

Heightened Healing,

A conversation with the body-mind designed to be used before,

During,

And after any surgery or medical procedure.

For our goal is to trust our amazing bodies,

Reduce discomfort,

And increase the speed of recovery.

We have plenty of medical data that shows these preparations,

Even if you just listen once,

Can create drastic improvements in pre-procedural nervousness and hesitancy,

Operational blood flow,

And decreased need for anesthesia,

Along with improved wound closure post-op.

But that's not where the data points end.

Repeated listening to this and other like-minded tracks or healing sessions can magnify greatly the response.

So come here as often as you like,

Avoid driving while listening to this session,

And let's heighten your healing and maximize your capacity to heal now and in the days ahead.

I will be your guide,

And you will be the healer.

Let's start with something you know how to do well.

Find a comfortable,

Quiet place in your favorite set of headphones.

A place where you feel supported with a straight spine,

Respecting your body-mind as you allow the body to relax,

Beginning with a few focused breaths and a feeling that something wonderful is about to happen.

Breathe in to a count of four or more and notice the moment when the inhale becomes the exhale.

Trust the out-breath to jettison the unnecessary and become light.

Gather the tension and breathe it out.

Imagine yourself lying in a familiar place,

A place of healing where you can be yourself and see beyond yourself at once.

In this comfortable place are sounds designed to maximize your healing potential as never before,

During and after the procedure.

Trust the sounds as they eliminate all blockages to healing,

Transforming discomfort into growth and struggle into strength.

The sound at your right is tuned to a specific frequency to honor and to support,

To dispel and to calm.

And at your left,

A subtly different sound,

One tuned to a frequency intended to support and assist in your spiritual growth.

Allow the sounds to permeate and seep in between any tightness or toughness that could impede your process.

And as the two sounds blend,

Their differences create a frequency of healing,

A maximal capacity for learning,

Learning how to communicate with your intrinsic healing capacity.

Entrained to this third sound,

The sound that only resides in your mind,

Speaking the language your unconscious understands.

I will be your guide and you will be the healer.

Soon you will sleep and in that sleep you will arrange the mind and orchestrate the body to fulfill so many tasks toward the one goal and all with one secret.

Trust yourself.

Lying in that familiar place,

The place of healing,

You notice you have a left side and a right side.

You have a down and you have an up.

Notice your left side falling ever so gently down and sliding outward.

Notice your right side falling down and outward.

Notice each half of you relaxing outward as the center of you opens up.

Find the place inside where you're up and you're down.

Meet your left and your right,

The place where all of those connections cross and listen.

As you listen,

Trust your body and give it thanks.

Trust those that love you and send gratitude to them all.

And trust those capable skilled workers preparing,

Readying equipment,

Working together as a team for their patient.

And tell them you are grateful.

Imagine for a moment you're surrounded by that capable crew,

Proud of your courage as you find trust and allow the physical numbness to quiet the cooperative body,

Trusting yourself.

Knowing that this level of trust sets the stage that allows for miracles to take place,

Making you calm,

Reducing any discomfort,

And increasing the speed of your recovery.

Your pressure softens,

Your heartbeat slows,

And your blood and breath flows easy in the amount that is safe and secure for you for the future.

From your head to your toe,

Every cell in your body is a living planet with seasons and tides.

37 trillion tiny galaxies in a rhythm with the universe that is yourself,

All heeding the highest wisdom that they can reach.

And that wisdom is you.

You may ask,

How do I speak to these galaxies within?

My answer is,

How can you not?

They are children that need nurturing like only a mother can give,

That need direction and example like only a father can provide,

Each listening to your every thought and every sound your mind is making.

They are beautiful when you say,

I am beautiful.

And when you say,

I am strong,

They are strong.

I am beautiful.

Tell them,

I can trust you,

And they feel confident.

When you help them align to a special purpose,

They can move the mountain of you,

Instantly release stress,

Release emotion,

Untangle muscles and heal bones.

Everything is done through their doing,

Through the lens of your focused instruction,

Because they trust you.

And because of this trust,

You can place proper power over things you once seemed powerless to.

Now,

In the twilight just before falling asleep,

For gentle slumber or the numbing sleep that allow those capable skilled technicians the room to safely work,

You harness the most precious power there is by releasing these relaxing words.

I trust you.

I trust myself.

A message sent to each of those 37 trillion children,

Nurturing you and nurtured by you,

Reverberating through every galaxy in the universe of you,

Each of the multitude of planets rotating around the light that you are,

Their light.

Every time you fall asleep,

Tell them you support them,

You trust them,

You teach them,

And you will learn from them.

Whether we return to waking now or drift off to restful and recuperative sleep matters not,

For we have learned what was needed and our job is complete.

I am whole.

Come to this place as often as you wish,

And each time find newer and greater resilience.

Take your time and come back to your place only as quickly as you can know this is true when you wake and feel well.

See that colors are brighter and that the mind is quiet,

Feeling good and confident in your ability to heal.

Trust yourself,

Take your time,

And take action with every inhale,

And that with every exhale comes trust,

Trusting your body to breathe,

Trusting your mind to align its purpose,

Raising your own capacity to heal by abolishing your impediments.

You will be prepared and you will heal,

Strengthened by your struggle,

Stronger than ever before,

Because now you're speaking the language your body can understand.

I will be your guide and you will be the healer.

Love this. Wish I had listened right after my knee surgery ! Helpful.

I am 6 months out from a hip replacement and 8 weeks from a knee replacement. So grateful I found this and wish you had more! Thank you 🙏

This is the perfect meditation to listen to before surgery. I already feel more at ease about my upcoming procedure and will continue listening every day before and after. Thank you for your beautiful meditation 🙏❤️💕

That was really beautiful. Powerful. I so appreciated the metaphors of the relationship to our cells. It left me wanting more! Some thing like a body scan right after, to take that powerful set up, and apply it more somatically. I gave it five stars anyway, because I wanted to shine on this lovely piece of art.

Awesome ❤️

I wish that I found this great meditation sooner. I’m recovering from having underwent a hysterectomy for stage 0 endocervical cancer. I loved what was said about the listener/participant being the healer…it reminded me of the Sweet song “The Healer” and that the body plays an active role in its own healing. Thanks very much for doing this!

Perfect, thank you!

Nice and relaxing before my eye surgery. I’ll use this again for future procedures, too. Thanks 😁💕🙏🏼✨🕊️

Thank you 🙏🏽
