Find a comfortable position where your body feels supported.
If it's comfortable for you.
Gently close your eyes.
Now take a deep,
Slow breath in through your nose.
And exhale softly through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale deeply.
And exhale.
Allowing your shoulders to soften.
And with each breath in,
Imagine creating a little more space around any discomfort you may be feeling.
There's nothing you need to force or change.
Just simply notice.
Now bring your awareness to the area where you feel pain.
And instead of resisting it,
Greet it with curiosity.
And silently say to yourself.
I see you.
I acknowledge you.
I am listening.
And as I breathe in,
Imagine drawing in a warm golden light.
This light is calming and soothing and healing.
And as you breathe out,
Imagine releasing tension,
Tightness.
And anything your body no longer needs to carry.
With every breath in,
The golden light gently surrounds the painful area like a comforting blanket.
It doesn't have to erase the pain instantly.
Simply creates ease,
Softness,
And relief.
Now imagine that the pain is not fixed or permanent.
Perhaps it has a color.
A shape.
Or even a texture.
Simply notice it.
And as you continue breathing in and out.
Imagine the shape slowly becomes lighter.
Softer.
Smaller.
With each exhale carries away a little more discomfort.
Just like leaves floating down a gentle stream.
Breathe in the comforting blanket.
And breathe out any lingering discomfort.
Breathe in golden light.
Breathe out any lingering pain or tension or tightness.
Now repeat silently to yourself.
My body knows how to heal.
Every breath brings comfort.
I release what no longer serves me.
I welcome peace into every cell of my body.
Now imagine placing your hands over the area that needs the most care.
Feel warmth flowing from your hands into your body.
This warmth represents compassion.
Healing.
And your body's natural wisdom.
And allow yourself to rest in this feeling for just a few moments.
Now start to expand your awareness beyond the pain.
Notice that while some pain may still be present,
It's only one part of your experience.
There's also your breath.
Your heartbeat.
Your strength.
Your resilience.
Your hope.
Imagine the healing light now filling your entire body.
From the top of your head to the very tips of your toes.
Every muscle relaxes.
Every cell is nourished.
And every breath you take reminds your nervous system that in this moment,
You are safe.
Take one big,
Deep breath in.
And exhale completely.
And silently repeat these words to yourself.
I choose piece of retention.
I allow healing to unfold in its own perfect time.
My body is supported.
I am more than my pain.
I release what no longer serves me.
And whenever you're ready,
Gently wiggle your fingers and your toes,
Slowly blink open your eyes,
Bringing this sense of calm and comfort with you into the rest of your day.
