A pre-surgery meditation.
Settling in with your eyes softly open or gently closed,
Welcome yourself into this present moment.
Eyes open to the environment and sounds around you,
The touch of air on your skin,
Sensations where your body's touching the surfaces that are supporting it.
Sensing yourself as a warm-hearted witnessing presence.
Set attention to freely wander about while noticing the various perceptions that are coming and going around and within your body and mind.
And unhook attention from the thinking mind,
Letting thoughts go like clouds drifting away above you,
Your mind becoming calm and clear like a cloudless,
Open,
And spacious sky.
Letting go into the feeling of simply being and being at ease,
Quiet and calm like the surface of a pond on a windless day.
And letting go of tightness and tension,
Loosening,
Softening,
Letting go as you welcome sensations in the hinges of your jaw,
Mouth,
Ears,
Skin of the nose and face,
All around the eyes,
Forehead and scalp,
Soft at ease.
Sensations in the back of the neck and shoulders,
Shoulders,
Arms,
And hands settling and letting go into natural feelings of heaviness or lightness,
Torso and pelvis,
Hips,
Legs,
And feet.
Seeing the entire body alive with healing sensations flowing throughout the body now and in every moment.
Letting go of thoughts as they drift away like clouds in the sky,
Welcoming feeling of being at ease,
Peaceful,
Secure.
The body breathing easily and comfortably,
Torso gently rising and releasing with each breath,
Welcoming flows of healing sensations as breath comes in and goes out.
Vibrant healing sensations nourishing every cell and tissue with vital healing energy,
Restoring health and well-being throughout your entire body and mind.
And allow attention to settle into your torso and heart while welcoming and nourishing feelings of loving kindness,
Warm-hearted compassion.
Senses of loving kindness and compassion throughout the body and mind.
Feeling yourself as a warm-hearted,
Friendly,
And detached witnessing presence,
As a clear,
Spacious openness.
Your mind and body resting in restorative and healing calm and ease.
Knowing now and feeling without your thinking mind having to know how that all is well and just as it should be.
Enjoying a wonderful feeling of presence within,
Grateful to be here.
As you begin feeling a special tingling,
A pleasant expectancy and excitement in the air and within you that something wonderful is happening.
As the air shimmering in front of you becomes a translucent movie screen.
Watching the movie screen feeling peacefully curious as you become aware of forms taking shape and becoming defined on the screen.
Gazing with a curious detached feeling of interest as you come to realize that the scene on the screen is of a medical procedure room where a team of skillful and competent colleagues are working together,
Readying the room just for you.
Seeing a patient on a bed being wheeled into the room amazed but not surprised to know that it's you on the bed.
Seeing yourself comfortably at ease,
Surrounded by capable people who deeply care about the work they're doing.
As you gaze about you,
You can also sense a remarkable group of guardians and friends who are smiling and nodding to you,
Here looking after you,
Filling the room with their loving presence and well wishes.
Feeling their loving gaze as they nod to you with quiet confidence as you easily rest into a deeply safe and comforting sleep.
Or perhaps a comfortably light sedated state where you ease into this restful time of deep healing and well-being,
Knowing your incapable hands being deeply cared for and taken care of.
Observing with curious detached interest as the team surrounding you are working around you and with your body,
Delighted to hear them express their appreciation at how well things are going.
Delighted to see your body easing into this moment and even slowing the blood flow to make their work go smooth and easy.
And as you're watching,
Feeling gratitude for this body of yours and how it's responding.
As your guardians and friends continue to watch over you,
Smiling and nodding their loving approval at how well things are going.
Noticing and hearing the pleased murmurs of the team as they complete their work with confident and respectful hands.
Noticing how good you're feeling with what they've accomplished and how they're deeply satisfied with their work,
With themselves,
With one another and with you.
Seeing yourself wheeled now into a new and comfortable room,
Accompanied by your guardians and friends,
Where your body continues healing.
Sensing how your body's innate healing intelligence knows exactly what to do,
Sending the exact healing energy and nutriments that are needed to the precise places throughout your body that are now fully mending and completely healing.
Feeling yourself comfortably settled and at ease,
Drifting to sleep,
Feeling secure and safe as your body continues healing with minimum discomfort.
Healthy new cells,
Tissues and muscles aligning and organizing themselves for your body's maximum healing,
Health and well-being.
Weaving themselves into place as unneeded debris washes away in the flowing rivers of your bloodstream.
And seeing yourself now fully recovered,
Going about your life engaged in your favorite activities,
Moving with ease and grace,
Doing what you love without a thought or care in the world.
Your body strong and vital,
Enjoying its vibrant health,
Aliveness and well-being.
Breathing in and out peace,
Ease and well-being,
Knowing without your mind having to know as you affirm to yourself,
I go through all my medical procedures in recovery with ease,
With no complications,
Minimal bleeding,
Little discomfort,
With a sense of peace and comfort.
A sense of ease and well-being.
After every procedure my body heals quickly and efficiently with healthy new cells interweaving themselves into place and my body easily washing away and eliminating all unnecessary debris.
When I'm awake and asleep my body's building new vital and healthy cells that are fully aligned with the original design of my body's innate health,
Wholeness and well-being.
And I trust my body's natural ability to welcome in and use what's helpful for healing and well-being while letting go of all that's unnecessary throughout my healing journey.
Taking as long now as it feels right,
Setting attention free to wander about,
Welcoming the various perceptions that are arising within and around you,
Knowing and feeling that what's occurred is real and powerful beyond imagination,
Knowing that you can call upon this healing place and your loving guardians and friends whenever you wish for whatever reason you may wish.
Breathing in and out calm,
Peace,
Ease and well-being.
When you're ready,
Gently coming back to this present moment,
Feeling grateful for taking this time for accomplishing this important work,
Knowing and feeling confident,
Knowing without your thinking mind having to know that everything is in its right place,
That all is well and just as it should be.
