Rest Deeply And Heal
This meditation will soothe your body, calm your mind and settle your nervous system down. Music and voice combine to help you rest deeply while optimising your body’s remarkable capacity for self-healing. The journey draws inspiration from breath work, energy medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and MedBed technology. You can listen to it awake or use it to drift comfortably into sleep. The words fade out halfway through and the music continues to wash over you, allowing you to complete your journey of profound rest and healing in your own time. Music by Chris Collins

Hi,
I'm Susannah.
If life has felt busy or challenging for you recently,
I invite you to take this time away from it all now,
Just for you,
And to give yourself permission to really relax and restore yourself deeply.
The music you're listening to will carry you gently through the journey,
Inviting your brainwaves into a comfortable theta state,
Which naturally lowers stress levels and supports well-being.
So please make yourself comfortable lying down,
And close your eyes.
And there's no need to hurry the journey of winding down into relaxation.
You can take all the time you need to adjust your body and help it find its most comfortable position,
So you can gently drift down into rest.
And as you relax,
Offer yourself a cleansing breath,
Breathing in and out.
Allow your belly to swell on your in-breath,
And to settle back down on your out-breath,
Softening your neck and shoulders as you breathe,
Inviting the back of your lower ribs to expand gently on your next in-breath,
Creating spaciousness for the breath to flow easily in and out,
And noticing how good it feels to just relax and breathe.
And turning your attention now to the contact of your body with the surface you're lying on,
Feeling your weight melting into that surface,
Settling in ever more deeply and comfortably.
And as you exhale,
Imagine letting go of cares and concerns,
Simply drifting into the stillness.
And you may begin to notice you're already feeling a little more peaceful,
Breathing and relaxing,
Letting go more and more with each breath,
And encouraging your nervous system now to settle more deeply by lengthening your out-breath just a little,
Breathing in for an easy count of 4,
And then breathing out for a count of 6 or so.
Each time you breathe out is a perfect opportunity to release discomfort from your body,
Inviting yourself now to let go of any unwelcome sensation anywhere as you exhale,
Letting it float away with ease,
And feeling yourself growing more and more comfortable,
More and more relaxed as your breath moves easily in and out,
Feeling more and more peaceful,
More and more calm,
And drifting deeper and deeper into relaxation,
Focusing effortlessly on your breath and the comfort your breath brings,
And releasing discomfort as you exhale,
Realizing you can choose to focus on your breath,
Or on the increasing sensations of comfort in your body,
Or on both of these at the same time,
Or you can simply focus on nothing at all as you allow yourself to drift and move into an experience of deep,
Effortless relaxation,
Allowing yourself to be cradled by gentleness,
Kindness,
And peace.
And as you deepen into rest,
Thoughts or concerns may naturally arise,
And if they do,
Just allow them to move across your awareness and dissolve into nothingness,
Like clouds moving across the sky on a warm summer's day,
Carried gently away,
And dissipating with the breeze.
And whether you are watching the clouds drift by,
Or drifting along with them,
It really doesn't matter,
Because the drifting just takes you deeper relaxation and peace,
And finding yourself now lying on the most comfortable bed you've ever experienced,
Surrounded by a cocoon of light designed for your personal healing,
The healing space in which your lying cocoon feels familiar and safe.
Perhaps you've come here or to a space like it many times before.
This is a sanctuary where healing frequencies come together in harmony to restore your body,
Mind,
And spirit to their perfect blueprint for health and well-being,
And you are always welcome.
And you begin to notice a soft,
Shimmering ball of light hovering above your head.
The light is infused with intelligence,
Compassion,
And wisdom.
Its role is to identify any imbalances or energy blockages that are calling for your attention to be healed.
You welcome the light in through the top of your head,
And it slowly begins to flow down over your face,
Relaxing your forehead,
Soothing your eyes,
Your cheeks,
Easing tension from your mouth,
And relaxing your jaw,
And now allowing the soothing warmth of the light to move down through your neck and throat,
Over your shoulders,
And across your chest,
Bringing warmth into each area it touches,
Scanning through your torso,
And moving through your heart,
Your lungs,
Your abdomen and digestive system,
Soothing,
Relaxing,
And healing every internal organ as it flows,
Bringing the light into your upper back,
Your mid-back,
And your lower back,
Easing tension,
Bringing peace,
And letting the light also flow now from your shoulders,
Down into your upper arms,
Allowing it to travel through your elbows,
Your lower arms,
Your wrists,
Your hands,
And fingers,
And now inviting the light to move into your pelvic region,
Bathing the organs here,
Bringing deep relaxation and peace,
Sensing the light flowing into your hips,
And from your hips,
Scanning down through your thighs,
Your knees,
Your calves,
Your ankles,
Your feet,
And your toes,
And as the light touches and softly scans each part of your body now,
You feel it like a wave moving up through your body on your in-breath,
And back down on your out-breath,
Repeating that for a few cycles.
And now,
Turning your attention to the precious oxygen that flows into your body with each inhalation you take,
You notice that in this healing cocoon,
Oxygen has its own wisdom.
It knows where your body most needs it,
And begins to flow there now,
Reducing inflammation,
Enhancing circulation,
Optimizing blood flow,
And restoring order.
And you may even notice a warmth or a tingling as the oxygen reaches into different parts of your body,
Bringing balance,
Healing,
And ease.
And as the oxygen flows deeper into your tissues now,
You notice more of your body's natural healing processes awakening.
The genes in your DNA that code for healing,
Rejuvenation,
And tissue repair are switched on.
Your cells are quickened into regeneration.
Your blood vessels are revitalized and renewed.
And as the oxygen flows still deeper,
Plentiful stem cells are activated now and transported to wherever they are needed.
Growth hormone,
Too,
Is set in motion,
Restoring order and rejuvenating your systems.
Your body expertly goes to work with the help of this abundant supply of oxygen to upgrade your immune system,
Neutralizing pathogens,
And clearing all traces of infection,
And building robust resilience.
Damaged cells are recycled.
Toxins are cleared.
Waste is released.
The oxygen replenishes your energy stores.
As you rest easy in the knowing,
You always have abundant reserves of energy at your disposal.
The oxygen now moves to your brain,
Where it reconditions your neural networks,
Enhancing your cognitive processes,
Bringing you into greater harmony and peace.
And as you deepen into this journey of healing,
You become aware that you are part of an extraordinary web of life.
There is a quantum field of pure potential that you can draw on for whatever you need.
No matter what conditions you may have experienced,
No matter what circumstances you've moved through,
Your body,
Mind,
And spirit are coded to express optimal well-being.
The quantum field is activated on your behalf to clear distortions and disruptions in your energy field,
Allowing you to release past trauma,
Doubts,
And fears,
Dissolving limiting beliefs and stories,
Effortlessly awakening you to more of your essential nature and your brilliance.
Frequencies are moving through you now,
Lifting you into higher and higher dimensions of consciousness,
Where things that used to cause you stress and anxiety simply no longer do.
Past conflicts,
Grievances,
And resentments fall away,
Pain and trauma are dissolved,
And in that place,
You discover vast reservoirs of wonder,
Joy,
And awe.
A feeling of gratitude for the simplest things infuses every cell of your body now.
Insight and wisdom are expanding in you,
Restoring order at the deepest level,
And allowing you to feel regenerated,
Inspired,
Connected.
And as this newfound freedom and well-being becomes stabilized as your experience,
Your energy system comes into deep coherence.
How good it is to continue to rest and heal,
Calling in any specific support you like,
And being met with the perfect frequencies to allow this to unfold.
In a moment,
My voice will fade out,
But the music and our intentions for your healing will continue,
Carrying you deeper into blissful rest,
Peace,
And healing.
