Transcript

Find healing and pain relief in this guided meditation that may be used before bedtime to help you sleep or during the day if you are challenged by pain and inflammation.

You are listening to the Sacred Healing Spa.

In the future,

There is a spa tucked in the valley of snow capped mountains.

You find yourself in a healing room where you retreat into the safety of a floating pod.

Through this journey,

You watch as your pain dials down.

You inform your agitated nerve cells that their messages have been received and it is now time to stand down and go on holiday.

May this be your sacred time for self care and self love.

Accept that help is on the way.

You need not suffer so intensely.

If you would like to add peppermint oil or lavender oil or eucalyptus to this experience,

It may help you relax further.

You may place a drop or two on your temples or in an oil diffuser.

You may also practice this meditation with something that makes you feel safe and comforted.

You may choose to cuddle with a favorite blanket or pillow,

A loving pet,

A stuffed animal or a comforting article of clothing.

And once you are ready,

Find a safe place where you may get as comfortable as you reasonably can and where you are safe to drift to sleep or into a healing trance.

I would like to welcome you to Michelle's Sanctuary.

I am Michelle and as you are listening,

You may think of my voice as that of a compassionate friend and ally.

I am here to remind you that you do not deserve this pain and any thoughts you have tied to it may be released.

Every moment in this life will pass.

Some experiences may be better,

Some may be more challenging,

But you are in the energetic flow of being alive.

Instead of losing energy,

Fighting against your discomfort,

It's time to go into yourself.

It's time to surrender to whatever is happening right now.

Not wishing it away or adding more strife by questioning why.

It's here for now and we are going to take care of it.

We are going to ease it away with acknowledgement,

Love and relaxation.

We will dial down the intensity one notch at a time so you may find reprieve,

So you may find a sense of peace,

So you may feel soothed and cared for.

And you will realize again,

You do have some control.

This time and space are free of any critical thoughts,

Judgement and doubt.

As soon as you believe that you can ease yourself into a more gentle and softer existence,

The sooner you may feel the benefits of tranquility and surrender.

Please note that I am not a doctor and if you have not already,

It is always advised to consult with licensed medical professionals.

This meditation and practice may complement the treatment you are already receiving.

Settle in,

Connect with right now.

You may assess your level of discomfort.

And throughout this journey,

You use this pain recognition as a reminder of where you began.

It serves to encourage you and remind you that you have self healing and self soothing abilities.

The body can repair itself.

You may recall being young and scraping your knee as a child.

A scar may have remained over time,

But the wound disappeared.

Let's take a few deep breaths.

And when you sip in the air,

Recognize each intake is healing and refreshing.

Let this deep inhalation have the purity of a cool glass of water that originated from pristine melting glaciers in spring.

Feel your belly rise and envision the air that appears as like a soothing illuminated shade of blue.

And then exhale.

Imagine that your pain is ushered away with the air as it flows out of your body.

You may rely on your imagination to conjure a visualization of this pain escaping.

See it however you like.

Particles floating on the air stream that escapes your mouth.

A beam of color.

You watch it travel away from your body.

Inhale again deeply.

Sipping in that cool and soothing air that is as pure as the air in the valley of snowcapped mountains.

Fresh.

Crisp.

Healing air.

And exhale out all the feelings that do not serve you.

Perhaps this breath carries some heat with it.

You let it go.

And watch your exhalation help some of your pain escape.

Your outward breath purges feelings of inflammation.

The great big atmosphere that surrounds you is so enormous that it can absorb your pain.

It can carry this pain away to the place all things go when they are no longer needed.

Inhale the solve of soft blue light.

The breath of life.

Feel your inner temperature dial down.

Feel the meter of pain ticking down a notch.

Exhale and release.

The more you exhale,

The lower the pain meter may go.

You can see this meter much like a round outdoor dial thermometer.

There are numbers in a range.

You see a gold needle that lowers with each breath.

As you let out the air in your lungs and return your breath to a comfortable rhythm.

Your breath is always the reminder that you are in control when you choose.

It is the only voluntary and involuntary process of your body.

It does not need your attention to happen.

But when you take control,

Each breath can soothe you.

It can fill you with healing and release what you no longer desire.

We are going to do a body scan and imagine a wave of soothing light is washing over you.

Pouring over your head and massaging your scalp like water droplets cascading from a silver rainfall shower head.

This light tingles like freshly cut mint.

Like the cool ocean waves of early summer.

Like the mist that forms along a beach in the early morning hours.

Cooling and soothing at the same time.

It can be a shade of turquoise or sapphire blue.

Or it can be any color that appeals to you.

It flows over your face,

Down your neck.

It cloaks your shoulders and chest,

Your spine,

Your pelvis.

It cascades over your arms and to the tips of your fingers.

It casts your legs and ankles and feet.

From the crown of your head to the soles of your feet,

You are soothed.

You relax and let the tension go in places of holding.

And you inhale a clean sip of air and sigh.

Using the backs of your eyelids as a cinema screen,

You see a room.

The room is dimly lit and modern and has clean lines.

It is a simple and bare space.

There are soft lights that illuminate the shiny white floors and pristine tiled white walls.

The lights are in jewel tones of sapphire blue and amethyst,

Emerald green and topaz,

Garnet and ruby.

In the center of the room is an oval pearly pod shaped like a life sized egg.

You hear the faintest sound of water lapping against the walls of the pod.

And it reminds you of taking a luxurious bath at the end of a long day.

You witness yourself walking across the room as if you were floating.

You move with ease.

You move with grace.

The scene is so tranquil that you decide to enter it.

Exchanging your role as the observer to become the participant.

You feel the coolness of the room.

You are dressed in a silk robe that is loosely tied at the waist.

You take a deep breath and inhale the healing fragrance of eucalyptus.

Nestled in between snow capped mountains,

The pure outside air is filtered into the room and blended with the essential oil.

The room is one of many in a futuristic spa with advanced technology.

It exists in a time when the human experience has access to immediate pain relief.

In this special place for healing,

You feel confident that relief is on the way.

You walk towards the opalescent pod and run your fingers along the cool glossy lacquered exterior.

A small hatch opens towards the ceiling and reveals a soothing pool of water within the pod.

You remove your robe and place it on a hook that hangs on the otherwise bare wall.

You gracefully glide your body into the pod and it feels as if you are floating through a zero gravity room.

You immerse yourself in the warm water that contains a healthy elixir of bath salts and essential oils.

The water feels silky against your skin.

The door slowly closes and makes a gentle gasp and sigh as it does.

And at the same time you feel your body release into a sigh.

You make yourself comfortable in the safe,

Relaxing,

Floating pod.

You are in solitude,

Distanced and protected from the noise and energy of the outside world.

The ceiling of the pod reveals a celestial space.

You float in the healing turquoise water,

But feel as if you are floating through the indigo and purple night sky projected in the pod.

You become one with the silver stars and feel weightless.

And without the pull of gravity,

You find the source of your pain is free of earthly pressure.

You continue to drift and your body is renewed.

You feel as if you are within a womb of life that is giving you a refreshing new start.

You float and drift in water that is the perfect temperature for relaxing.

The brilliant night sky begins to dim.

Each twinkling star fades into blackness as the sky darkens.

You continue to float in the soft darkness until everything is pitch black.

The walls of the pod provide a barrier of safety around you.

They give you the freedom to investigate deeper within.

And the longer you stay in this healing pod,

The lower the meter on your pain scale goes.

You see the gold needle indicator dipping down.

And you see how far the needle has dropped from when you first set on this healing journey.

With your eyes closed,

You give in to the moment.

You completely surrender.

Your body goes slack.

Your face muscles and jaw relax.

Your muscles have the softness of warm candle wax.

You ease into the tranquil darkness and feel at peace.

Pain is your body's way of communicating to your brain,

The control center of your physical form.

The consciousness gives you full power at this control center.

Now calm.

You may inform the sources of pain in your body that it is okay to stand down.

You are aware of what is going on.

And they need not send the signal to your brain at this intensity anymore.

Imagine that all the clusters of nerves in your body are tiny villages,

Similar to a hamlet found within mountain valleys.

You visualize visiting these villages and let it be known that today is a holiday.

You imagine that each nerve cell is a villager and it is your welcome task to let everyone know that they may go off duty.

You start with the parts of your body that are already relaxed.

These villages are quiet and the nerve cells or villagers enjoy their holiday.

They sleep in cottages.

They lie in the velvety green grass and bask in the moonlight beneath a starry sky.

They sit on docks that line a mountain lake and bob with a gentle ebb and flow of the tide.

You smile as you visit each village and the bliss is infectious.

You encourage these villagers to continue to enjoy their time of respite.

You travel through the pathways of your body and venture towards the places of pain.

In these painful villages,

You note how lively the villagers are.

They are chaotic and move about frenetically.

They seem out of balance and upset.

And you let them know that it is okay.

You kindly and lovingly address every nerve cell.

You politely inform them it is okay to stand down.

You compassionately explain that their uncomfortable messages have been received.

They have been heard.

But it is now time to go on holiday.

And one by one the villagers retreat to their cozy cottages.

They become quiet and still.

They breathe in the mountain air with you.

They are soothed.

One nerve cell at a time goes on holiday.

And once a few have retreated to their sanctuaries and have found stillness and peace,

The rest of the villagers earnestly follow.

Like a row of dominoes that forms a long,

Seemingly endless line down the mountain,

The once irritated nerve cells surrender and fall.

One by one.

Bingo,

Standing down,

Going on holiday.

You thank them for their service.

You appreciate the messages received and are aware you did exactly what you needed to do.

You took this time for yourself to heal,

To rest,

To go to the source of what ails you.

You hover above the villages of nerve cells and float across the starry sky.

You journey from your toes to your feet,

Through your powerful legs and hips and pelvis,

Through your torso,

Over your spine that resembles a path of pearls,

Over the entire landscape of your heart center,

Over your arms,

Your neck and your head.

All the villagers have embraced this holiday for rest,

For ease,

For grace.

You say goodbye and gently whisper the reminder over the landscape of your body.

Today is for rest.

It's time to relax.

Your once boisterous nerve cells receive this guidance and feel relief.

They know they may stand down.

Their work is done.

You return your attention to the tranquility of the serenity pod.

You continue to float in the water that now flows gently like a mountain spring.

The water is as warm as the softest blanket that cloaks you on the coolest night.

It surrounds every part of your body save for your face.

As you continue to inhale the fresh stream of mountain air,

It feels so good to be tucked within this sacred,

Healing pod where you may relish every moment of solitude and peace.

You have earned every single good feeling that washes over you.

You deserve this serenity.

You are relieved of past pain and protected from future injury.

You feel formless,

Becoming one with the water.

The minerals and essential oils bring reprieve.

Your healing combination gives you a calm strength.

Right now.

You inhale a cool sip of air and exhale any lingering things in your body that do not serve you.

Feeling lighter than you ever remember feeling.

Like soft linen sheets that hang from a clothesline.

Above spring wildflowers that grow in the verdant landscape of a mountain valley.

Flowing.

Floating.

Bobbing.

Your fingers and toes feel as if gentle waves flow between them.

Your hair floats like tendrils of seagrass gliding on warm aquamarine water.

You float with the current.

And outside the pod,

The needle drops to the lowest it has been.

The new calibration releases you into a tolerable and perhaps even kind state of being.

Your only job is to relax.

How lovely it is to drift.

To surrender.

Your body and mind know that it is okay to surrender.

The electric impulses of your nerves can create new patterns and electric currencies when they come out of this holiday.

They need not communicate loudly as they did before.

Because you are in tune with every message.

And you learn to thank them even when they are unaware that they are overworking.

You forgive them and appreciate them for trying to do their best.

You may flow together through this life.

For your body is self-healing.

Self-soothing.

Self-satisfying.

Right now.

You drift further and further down.

Floating away.

Feeling light and at ease.

Drifting towards sleep.

Or towards a prolonged meditative state.

You welcome the state.

You welcome the powerful abilities your body has to revive and restore you.

Because just a little bit at a time,

You find it is possible to get better.

You are getting better at a pace that is set by you.

You visualize your daily life.

Manageable and flowing.

From one moment to the next.

When you remember you have control.

Flowing between consciousness and unconsciousness.

You visualize yourself healed and strong.

You stand among the rolling kelly green hills of a mountain village.

The sun casts the world in a buttery golden shimmering light.

It brings relief from a long cold winter.

And the landscape answers.

With blooming flowers and verdant life.

The sunlight refracts in droplets of morning dew.

Creating tiny rainbows that dabble the lush green grass.

The air is the cleanest air you have ever experienced.

Rippling water flows down the icy mountain tops and creates a babbling brook that gurgles between the hills.

You feel a sensation of renewal.

Of being alive and perfectly comfortable in your body.

You see yourself carefree.

Perhaps laughing.

Smiling.

Your eyes twinkle with the life you sometimes fear has left.

Your aura releases joy.

With warm waves as brilliant as the vibrant sun.

You distill this moment in a tiny glass vial that you wear around your heart.

You return to the floating pod and feel the slender chain that now floats around your neck.

This golden elixir has been bottled for you.

For your own safekeeping.

And may rest on your heart center as a reminder of this healing journey.

Your mind lets go.

Drifting.

Going deeper and deeper down.

You inhale softly.

And then sigh as you exhale.

And as you feel yourself so at ease and so at peace,

You find that you are drifting further and further away from my voice.

You go towards the serenity that awaits you.

Your body accepts the new code that this journey has unlocked.

Neutrality is embraced by every nerve cell in your body.

For in peace,

You may heal.

In surrender,

You may gather the energy you need each day.

You float on a wave of gratitude.

For knowing just what to do.

For exercising the freedom to take this healing journey.

You feel gratitude for remembering that there is so much you can control.

You carry with you the glass vial and distillation of a future you.

On your healthiest,

Most beautiful day that has yet to come.

Breathing and exhaling you let go.

You will remember your breath is the key that unlocks a world that heals you.

And whenever you need to,

You may step away from your day and close your eyes and revisit this futuristic room in a healing mountain spa.

Floating in an opalescent pod,

Away from the noise and energy of the outside world.

Safe,

Contained,

Tuned in to you.

Continue to drift further and further away from my voice.

Going deeper and deeper down.

I am going to count you down to the deepest,

Most relaxed state of being you may have enjoyed in some time.

To a place where you may be revitalized.

To a place where you may let it all go.
