Good evening and thank you so much for joining me for this mind the pain mindfulness meditation aimed at reducing the stress,
Pain,
And anxiety caused by endometriosis.
I hope today was good to you and we've met each other in a pain-free state but if not I'm so sorry and don't worry warrior we'll work together now to get you feeling better and make sure you have a restful sleep just like you deserve.
So when you're ready I invite you to close your eyes or keep an unfocused gaze in front of you whichever you prefer.
Allow your body to lay down and relax.
Your head,
Shoulders,
Belly,
And full body slowly melting into the surface below you.
We'll start with two deep belly breaths to allow us to fully slow down and arrive here in this moment.
So when you're ready just a deep breath in through the nose an extra quick inhale and a nice deep exhale in.
One more time deep breath in through the nose an extra quick inhale and a nice slow deep exhale in.
Nicely done.
With each breath in we'll just draw in calmness and peace.
With each breath in release any pain or discomfort.
We'll just start to feel our muscles relax starting from your toes moving up through your legs,
Belly,
And finally your head.
Releasing the jaw and your forehead.
Allow your body to become heavy and relax.
Being held safely by the surface below you.
Now starting at the top of your head notice any lingering tightness or discomfort.
Breathe deeply into that area.
As you exhale let the tension softly melt away.
Now bring your focus to your neck and shoulders.
With each breath feel these muscles release and relax.
Now move your awareness to your arms and hands.
Let them become heavy and relax.
Breathing into them softly and slowly.
We'll now gently bring your focus to your abdomen and pelvis.
This can be very challenging if you're feeling any pain here.
I'm so sorry if that's the case.
Just be gentle with yourself and as hard as it can be softly tune into the sensations without judgment.
Witnessing how they change and move.
Releasing the power that they can have over us.
Especially when it's really bad.
Just staying with this part of the body.
Notice if the sensations you're feeling are deep or at the surface.
Maybe there's a color to them.
Maybe a shape like a letter or number.
Or even an animal.
Just watch and observe.
Reminding yourself that even though this isn't fair at all you can still find moments of peace and calmness within us.
Where the mind and body truly feel safe.
As you breathe deeply into the sensations feel your belly soften.
Releasing any tension.
We'll just move your attention to your hips and lower back.
Let the relaxation of your breath spread through these areas.
Easing any discomfort.
We'll bring your focus to your legs.
From your thighs.
Down to your knees.
Then to your calves and ankles.
Let them become heavy and relaxed.
Just gently focus on your feet and toes.
Feel them soften.
Allow any remaining tension to flow out of your body through these parts.
Leaving you feeling completely relaxed and at ease.
As we bring this meditation to a close gently drift into sleep.
We'll just take another deep breath in through the nose.
And a nice slow exhale through the mouth.
One more time,
Just a deep breath in through the nose.
And a nice deep exhale out.
Remember to carry the sense of relaxation and peace with you into your sleep.
Allow yourself to drift off knowing you are safe,
Supported and are healing.
Sweet dreams warrior.
Have a beautiful sleep.
