Welcome into this affirmation based meditation to help you to ground amongst feelings of health anxiety.
Health anxiety can be incredibly triggering and it can cause us to spiral into many different thoughts so in this meditation we're not trying to get rid or push away all of those thoughts what we're trying to do is just refocus our attention and allowing yourself to hear my voice my words as a pillar of support to simply lean into as an alternative way to think right now in this moment of anxiety.
Now taking a moment to just ground yourself if it feels good for you to close your eyes then I invite you to do that and either way just finding a comfortable position you could even do this meditation whilst walking or moving around if you're needing the distraction right now so just absorbing these words there's nothing else you need to do right now.
I am safer than I think in this moment anxiety is simply causing me to feel unsafe if I've gone to worst case scenario that's a sign that this is health anxiety I do not need to listen to every thought I have or take it as a fact thoughts especially anxious ones are not fact I trust my body to handle what comes naturally I trust my body I am safe even if I feel worried just because I feel something doesn't make it true my nervous system is learning to rest and trust it's okay to let go of fear I'm supported I'm allowed to feel calm and secure I do not always need to be on guard for a crisis crisis does not come because I'm taking my eye off the ball it is safe to allow my body is resilient and strong my body is a wise ecosystem the ecosystem that is my body has been doing me well for many years the ecosystem that is my body has my back and my best intentions at heart I trust my body to know what it needs my body has been protecting me every single day since I've been alive without me even knowing my immune system works for me I release the need to constantly check or monitor my health the answers do not come from constant reassurance seeking it is safe in the unknown even if it feels scary the unknown does not have to be scary it's normal and natural to not need to know everything it's normal and natural to allow things to unfold in their own way I'm supported by my body,
My mind my body is safe,
Healthy and aligned when my body comes out of health it is capable of coming back to health my body is a self-healing mechanism my body's natural state is one of healing my body is a miracle and I do not interfere with miracles my body is far wiser than me I let go and trust I have fierce faith in my path nothing good comes out of fear love is the other side of fear I lean into something I love and away from fear every cell in my body is capable of balance and restoration there are multiple explanations,
I do not jump to one single explanation there are multiple explanations and it's very unlikely to be the worst case one anxiety is what's telling me it's a worst case scenario not truth I've been here before in my mind and it turned out okay many many times over my fears have not been true I am resilient,
I am strong I can get through anything I have autonomy,
I have choice,
Life doesn't just happen to me I am more powerful than I realize I'm stronger than maybe I want to acknowledge I do not need to be in control,
I do not need to monitor I'm just taking a breather,
A pause and soaking that up and if you feel it be helpful come back and do this again come visit my course for health anxiety if you feel to be supportive I'm Scarlet and I invite you to come back anytime you need
