Hello,
My name is Sam and welcome to this meditation for healing.
This meditation begins with passive progressive muscle relaxation and then guides you to imagine your body healing itself.
So let's begin by finding a comfortable relaxed position.
Allow your body to begin to relax and soften.
Start to breathe slowly in through your nose and out of your nose if that's possible.
Take a cleansing breath in and breathe out the tension in your body.
Allow any tightness to ease away.
The relaxation beginning at the bottom of your feet.
It might feel like stepping into a warm bathtub or it may feel like a tingling sensation.
Allow this relaxation to spread over your feet and up into your ankles.
Feel the relaxation rising above your ankles flowing up your lower legs then to your knees and continuing up to your upper legs.
Allow the relaxation to continue to spread throughout your body rising now to your hips and pelvic area.
To your stomach and lower back.
Let your upper arms relax,
Your elbows,
Lower arms,
Wrists.
Feel the relaxation spread to your hands relaxing the palms of your hands,
The back of your hands and each finger and thumb.
Your hands feel pleasantly warm now,
Heavy and relaxed.
Feel your body softening further as the area by your collar bones widens and relaxes allowing your shoulders to ease back slightly.
Allow your upper back to relax even further especially at the back of the neck.
Feel the relaxation continue to spread to the jawline,
The chin,
The back of your head,
Your mouth,
Your cheeks,
Your nose,
Your eyes.
Feel your eyelids heavy and relaxed.
Feel your eyebrows relaxing,
Your ears relaxing and your forehead smooth.
Let this relaxation spread further to the top of your head.
Now your entire body is relaxed and calm.
Feel the relaxation flowing throughout your body.
Breathe in and hold that breath.
Relax your muscles totally allowing the breath to flow gently out to your nose or mouth.
Take another deep breath breathing in relaxation and release the breath breathing out any remaining tension.
Continue to breathe smoothly and slowly as you mentally scan your body looking for any remaining tension.
If you notice any tension focus on that area,
Direct the relaxation to flow into that area and then carry the tension away.
Imagine that the air you are breathing can cleanse your body and remove tension.
Imagine that each breath in carries relaxation.
Picture the tension in your body leaving with each breath out.
Now simply relax and enjoy the feeling of relaxation for a few moments.
Focus your attention now on your body and think about the healing that needs to take place.
Create an image in your mind of your current state of being.
Imagine the physical ailment that troubles you.
It might be pain or illness or injury.
It might be something diagnosed but it may be a problem that is not yet identified.
Whatever it is that you would like to heal,
Imagine this problem in your mind right now.
Focus on the specific location in your body where this problem is present.
You might want to imagine the problem as a dark area and picture the healing relaxation as light.
See the light of relaxation flowing through your body and direct the light of healing relaxation toward the dark area.
Your body has many ways of healing itself.
See the healing relaxation promoting your immune system,
Promoting strength,
Promoting growth of healthy tissue or removing unhealthy matter from your body like toxins,
Bacteria or waste,
Cleaning up your body.
Imagine the light of healing relaxation flowing,
Swirling and touching the edges of the dark problem area in your body.
You might notice small pieces of the dark area being carried away by the healing relaxation.
Allow these dark pieces to leave your body as you breathe out.
Breathe in health,
Healing and calm.
Without tension,
Illness and any problems in your body.
Allow the light healing relaxation to continue to swirl around the dark problem area and see the dark area getting smaller.
Imagine the dark area completely enveloped by relaxation.
See the healing relaxation making the dark area lighter and lighter,
Carrying away anything that is not good for your body.
Imagine your immune system working to heal you.
Picture the cells you need going to the places they need to go,
Working as needed to heal your body.
Imagine the healing relaxation flowing and coursing through your body.
Imagine your entire body filled with relaxation.
See the problem area your body is healing.
See it becoming even lighter,
Filled with relaxation,
Carrying away discomfort and healing.
Allow your body to heal itself.
Taking in cleansing breaths and breathing out what your body does not need.
Breathe in relaxation.
Breathe out all the old air.
Relax for a few moments and imagine the healing process going on inside your body,
Feeling confident in your body's ability to heal.
Feeling calm and at peace.
Slowly bring your awareness back.
You can choose what you would like to do,
Whether that is drift off into a deeper state of relaxation or sleep and to return to your usual level of wakefulness.
If you decide to sleep,
Enjoy.
Otherwise I should count to three.
When I reach three,
You will be at your desired level of relaxation or alertness.
One.
Two.
Three.
I hope you enjoyed this healing meditation and I wish you all the best.
