Hi,

This is Patricia Dacre with Better Diabetes Life.

Welcome to my meditation series that promotes wellness and healing for people living with diabetes.

Today's meditation is a gift to your body.

Diabetes can be hard on your physical self,

But we can use your mind and spirit to promote healing.

I invite you to join me as we journey through your body and offer kindness,

Encourage healing,

And promote wellness in the areas most often impacted by diabetes.

Be sure you're in a comfortable spot where you won't be disturbed.

Lie down in bed or get comfortable in a cozy chair.

Before we get started,

I want to set an intention for this practice.

Today we promote healing,

We promote new growth,

And we promote optimal wellness for the person hearing my voice.

Our intention is to receive all the goodness and all the blessings for your body and your spirit and your mind.

We know these three parts of self work together for optimal healing,

And each part needs support.

To get started,

We'll take some deep and easy breaths to slow down the mind and prepare the body for the benefits it will receive.

Now breathe in deeply,

Expand your lungs fully,

And let your belly inflate.

Notice how the air seems to travel to the deepest parts of you.

Now exhale and allow any tension,

Pain,

Worry,

Or other negative feelings to flow away from you.

Breathe in again,

Receiving light,

Energy,

And wellness.

Exhale,

Relax your body,

And let go of anything that is holding you back,

Keeping you small or causing you grief.

Do a few more breaths like this.

I will guide you on this journey through your body.

All you have to do is listen to my voice and focus your attention on each part as I name them and offer optimum wellness to each area.

In your mind,

Imagine the perfect function of every part,

Even if it's not that way today.

Receive healing,

Receive wellness,

And receive the benefits of the blood that flows through your body.

We'll begin our journey with a deep inhale.

Allow your attention to follow your breath through your nose,

Down into your body,

And expanding into your lungs.

Notice the space between your lungs where your heart lives.

See how it pumps and beats,

Spreading life to your body.

Focus on this area and imagine blood flowing cleanly and easily to all parts of your heart.

Imagine your heart beating fully,

Completely,

And easily to do its work.

Every vessel,

Large or small,

Is delivering nutrition and strength and removing waste products and toxins.

No energy is wasted on anxiety.

Only relaxed,

Steady,

And strong pumps of your heart muscle that ensures your blood reaches every part of your body.

Thank you,

Heart,

For your unending work.

Now the blood leaves your heart and travels down to the abdomen where many organs do their work to keep you nourished,

Safe,

And free from disease.

As the blood flows to the kidneys,

Which sit underneath the backside of your ribs,

Imagine each tiny blood vessel and filtration unit of your kidney being fully fed with rich,

Clean,

Whole blood.

Imagine the blood flowing easily and smoothly through the kidneys,

Removing toxins,

And helping with water balance.

With this blood,

The kidneys receive all the healing proteins,

Nutrition,

And anything necessary to optimize kidney function.

You needn't know what these things are.

Just imagine them going to your kidneys and the kidneys receiving this healing and wellness.

Give your kidneys protection from high blood sugar or high blood pressure.

Imagine light,

Love,

And tingling energy surrounding these special organs.

Be grateful for this healing to come.

From the kidneys,

We move to the front of the abdomen where your stomach lives.

Your stomach is responsible for digesting your food,

Which impacts your glucose levels.

Bathe this area with light and love,

And imagine the stomach rhythmically pulsing as it digests and processes your food,

Breaking down nutrition and calmly and easily doing its work.

See the blood flow around your stomach,

Around the muscles that work your stomach,

Bringing good nutrition,

Strength,

Peace,

And calmness.

Relax your belly and receive this warm and welcoming feeling.

Now move your attention down to the organs in your lower abdomen.

Imagine a warmth of light and love caressing everything inside of you.

Fresh blood flows to your intestines as they pulse in waves to propel your digestion rhythmically and comfortably.

The blood harvests the nutrition and carries it to all parts of your body.

Imagine the blood flowing to this area,

Bringing warm,

Healing,

Calmness,

And peace.

Every blood vessel in your abdomen is open and pliable,

Enabling you to exchange nutrition and waste.

All the systems in your abdomen are working together in perfect harmony.

Inhale systems in your abdomen release waste and toxins and disease.

Feel the letting go inside of you as you inhale,

Then exhale and release.

Now we travel down both legs and the large arteries of your thighs past your knees to your calves and your feet.

If it feels tight in this area,

Imagine this pressure going away.

Release,

Relax.

Your blood flows freely down and easily back up each leg.

Imagine each blood vessel open and wide,

Smooth,

Healthy,

And whole.

The blood is easily able to travel to the farthest reaches of your toes to bring nutrition,

Oxygen,

And immune protection.

Then it easily sleeps away waste products and toxins that may be harmful.

Picture in your mind your blood flowing easily and freely to every cell in your toes,

Your feet,

And easily flowing back up your legs,

Carrying away water and fluid if that's needed.

Reducing swelling and optimizing your circulation perfectly.

If there is numbness or tingling,

Give your nerves permission to rest and heal.

Instruct your immune system to flood these areas and restore perfect function to each and every nerve cell.

Release negative energy.

Let go of worry and receive a soothing feeling.

Allow yourself to receive this gift in your feet.

Now we travel up to your arms and repeat the same exercise.

Imagine your heart pumping fresh,

Rich,

Healthy blood through both of your arms,

Starting from your shoulders,

Traveling down your upper arms,

Past your elbows,

To your forearms,

And to your fingers.

Your blood delivers healthy,

Healing nutrition and oxygen to every cell of your extremities.

As it flows away,

It carries unneeded fluid,

Waste products,

Tightness,

And pain.

Focus on both of your hands.

Imagine a beautiful,

Bright,

Glowing light surrounding them.

Receive this special healing.

Pay attention to your fingertips that may have been poked for blood sugar readings.

Imagine the blood flowing to the small areas,

Healing the scars and melting any calluses.

Lovingly offer gratitude for these parts of yourself that must undergo frequent pain and injury for the sake of the rest of your body.

Focus on each one for just a moment and allow this healing and restoration to occur.

Notice your left little finger,

Your left ring finger,

Your left middle finger,

Your left index finger,

Your left thumb,

Your right little finger,

Your right ring finger,

Your right middle finger,

Your right index finger,

Your right thumb.

From your arms,

We travel up to your neck.

Again,

Imagine the blood flowing easily and cleanly up your neck into the various parts of your head.

Instruct your blood vessels to melt any blockages and calm any unusual blood flow so that your brain is completely nourished and functioning at its best.

Imagine your brain like an electrical circuit board humming and lighting up with information and energy that it directs to every part of your body.

Allow a warm glow and peaceful wave to wash across your brain,

Providing you calm and harmony.

As blood flows in your brain,

Imagine that every vessel is firm and healthy,

Doing its job effortlessly,

Promoting optimal memory,

Choosing peace when possible,

And healing anything that needs repair.

Invite all measures of healing into your brain,

Restoring perfect function and calm,

Controlled thoughts.

Receive this healing as a warm and pulsing light that surrounds your head.

Now,

Focus on your eyes,

The window to your soul,

And the portal to experience the many wonders of the world.

If you can,

Imagine thousands of tiny blood vessels feeding the retina in the back of your eye.

Bestow each of these blood vessels with the gift of optimal blood flow and perfect ability to nourish your eyes.

Allow them to let go of tiredness,

Worry,

Or tension.

Invite your body and your blood to flood your eyes with everything that is needed to ensure your perfect vision.

Now,

Relax the muscles around your eyes,

Relax your eyelids,

Relax your brow,

And unclench your teeth.

Relax your entire face,

Your entire torso,

Relax your limbs.

Breathe in deeply,

Accepting and receiving healing from every source that's available to you.

Let this healing flow to any place in your body that needs extra attention.

As you exhale,

Release and allow your breath to carry out all that no longer serves you.

Breathe in again and feel the flush as your blood vessels dilate and safely and smoothly carry healing blood,

Oxygen,

And nutrition to every part of your body.

Exhale as this blood is returned to source to replenish,

Renew,

And release.

And then again,

Receive peace,

Receive healing,

And notice it traveling across every area of your body.

Exhale once again and relax fully,

Letting go of worry and fear and of anything that causes you distress.

Enjoy a few more moments in this state and when you are ready,

Blink open your eyes.

Take in another deep breath and stretch.

Consider having a refreshing glass of water to hydrate your body and help eliminate anything that no longer serves you.

Spend a moment in gratitude for this beautiful gift you have just given yourself.

And remember,

You are worthy and you are deserving of good things and you deserve optimum health.

Be well and enjoy your day.

Thank you for sharing some time with me.
