Releasing The Burden: Healing Meditation For Chronic Illness

If you're suffering from chronic illness, this meditation can offer a reprieve and soothing relaxation.

Living with chronic illness is challenging and exhausting. At times, we feel like it's a heavy burden that we just can't put down. In this guided meditation, we validate the heaviness of living with chronic illness and call upon all of the support we need to endure the suffering. We then explore letting go of the burden and allowing it to be held within a sacred healing circle while we rejuvenate and restore ourselves through guided relaxation.

We ultimately come to honor the illness as a challenge with the possibility of also offering us gifts. We know who we are beyond our suffering and learn to care for this illness in the ways that it needs, knowing we don't have to do it alone.

This was incredibly helpful... thank you for guiding me into a more relaxing state of being. 🙏🏻

Thank you for this wonderful guidance. It allowed emotion to be released, validation of the reality of the illnesses burden, consideration of support, getting in touch with the who I am (not overidentifying with the illness), and the possibility of gift in this challenge (authentic, supportive community found; forces to slow down and not be in control which is very difficult). Your meditations feel supportive, authentic, and they hit home so thank you.

Thank you so much, Theresa. That was so moving. My parents and grandparents, now gone, were at the foreground of my support group. I saw their hands so clearly, so familiar, so kindly. Thank you. A deep bow. 🙏

This was such a powerful practice at your live session, and I’m grateful to have a recording to return to. Temporarily laying down the heavy weight of our complex chronic illnesses allows us to relax - and heal - even better.

Thank you so much, Theresa! 🙏🏼
