Welcome.
This is Susanne McAllister from Susanne McAllister Wellness.
Before we begin,
It's important to acknowledge that this meditation is meant to support your overall well-being as you navigate your journey with insulin resistance.
It's not a replacement for medical care,
Professional advice or prescribed medication.
Please ensure you're under the guidance of qualified healthcare professionals as you work to manage your health.
This practice is a complement to your care,
Offering a space to connect with your body and foster healing from within.
Now let's begin.
Find a quiet,
Comfortable space where you can be fully present.
Sit down with your feet firmly on the ground or lie down,
Letting your body rest completely.
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your belly with air.
Hold it for a moment and then slowly release it through your mouth.
Let's repeat this together.
Inhale deeply,
Allowing your breath to expand your abdomen.
Hold and exhale completely,
Letting go of tension,
Worry or stress.
One more time.
Breathe in deeply,
Hold and exhale fully.
Feel your body softening with each breath as if you're settling into the earth beneath you.
Let your breath find its natural rhythm now,
Flowing with ease like the gentle rise and fall of ocean waves.
Bring your awareness to your feet.
Feel them rooted to the earth,
Solid and supported.
Imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet,
Anchoring you deeply to the ground.
These roots are drawing in strength,
Nourishment and stability from the earth.
Slowly move your attention upward through your legs,
Your hips,
Your abdomen.
Pause here for a moment,
Placing your focus on your abdomen,
The center of your body's energy and processing.
Imagine this area glowing with a warm golden light.
This light represents healing,
Balance and vitality.
As you breathe in,
Feel the golden light growing brighter.
And as you exhale,
Let it expand outward,
Filling your entire abdomen and radiating into the rest of your body.
Now let's take a journey inward.
Imagine that you can shrink down to the size of a single cell.
Visualize yourself floating gently through your bloodstream,
Surrounded by millions of shimmering,
Vibrant cells.
Each one is alive,
Working tirelessly to support your health and balance.
And as you flow through your body,
Notice your insulin,
A vital messenger that carries energy to your cells.
See your insulin as a glowing golden key,
Moving through your bloodstream.
Picture yourselves as tiny houses with welcoming doors,
Each one equipped with a lock.
Now let's take a journey inward.

Vibrant cells.

Working tirelessly to support your health and balance.
And as you flow through your body,
Notice your insulin,
A vital messenger that carries energy to your cells.
See your insulin as a glowing golden key,
Moving through your bloodstream.
Picture yourselves as tiny houses with welcoming doors,
Each one equipped with a lock that the insulin unlocks,
Allowing energy to flow in.
Now focus on the connection between your insulin and your cells.
Imagine that some of the locks on these doors are a little sticky or resistant,
Making it harder for the insulin to open them.
With each breath,
You can help.
Breathe in deeply,
And as you exhale,
Visualize the golden light flowing through your bloodstream.
See it gently softening and unlocking the doors of your cells.
Picture the insulin moving freely and easily,
Opening each door with grace.
Visualize energy in the form of glucose pouring into your cells,
Fueling them with vitality and life.
With every breath,
This process becomes smoother and more harmonious.
Your body is finding balance.
Your cells are glowing with energy,
Vibrant and alive,
Radiating with the nourishment they need.
Trust in your body's natural ability to heal and restore itself.
As you continue to breathe,
Let these affirmations flow through your mind like ripples on a still lake.
Repeat them silently or aloud,
Allowing their meaning to sink deeply into your heart.
My body is wise and knows how to heal itself.
I breathe in balance and I exhale resistance.
Every cell in my body is vibrant,
Strong and energized.
I honor my body's journey and trust in its ability to restore harmony.
Feel the truth of these words resonating within you,
As if each affirmation is a gentle wave of healing energy washing over your entire body.
Now imagine your bloodstream as a clear flowing river.
The river carries life-giving nutrients,
Insulin and glucose to every part of your body.
Visualize the river glowing with golden light,
Flowing freely and smoothly.
There are no blockages,
No resistance,
Just the natural rhythm of life moving through you.
See this golden river nourishing your pancreas,
The organ responsible for producing insulin.
Imagine your pancreas glowing with health and vitality,
Creating just the right amount of insulin to support your body's needs.
Picture the insulin traveling through the river,
Connecting with your cells effortlessly,
Delivering the energy they need to thrive.
With each breath,
This river flows stronger and clearer.
Feel a deep sense of gratitude for this process.
For your body's ability to adapt,
Heal and find balance.
Gently bring your awareness back to your entire body.
Feel the warmth of the golden light still within you.
A reminder of your resilience and strength.
Take a moment to thank your body for all it does to support you.
Its adaptability,
Its hard work and its capacity to heal itself.
Repeat these words to yourself either silently or aloud.
I am strong.
I am capable.
I am healing.
I trust my body and soul and honor its journey.
When you are ready,
You can either begin to wiggle your fingers and toes,
Bringing gentle movement back into your body or you can choose to keep resting.
Take a deep breath in and with your next exhale,
If you choose to,
Slowly open your eyes.
Take a moment of stillness,
Feeling grounded,
Calm and empowered.
Carry this sense of balance and healing with you throughout your day.
Remember,
Healing is a journey,
Not a race.
Every moment of care,
Every breath and every act of kindness and compassion towards yourself is a step forward.
Trust in your body's wisdom and know that you are supported on this path.
This meditation can be practiced daily or whenever you feel the need to reconnect with your body and its healing potential.
Let it be a time to nurture yourself and celebrate your resilience.
