Hello and welcome to the session.
Today we're going to be doing a guided visualization that you can use to heal yourself.
Take a moment to settle yourself into a comfortable position.
Close your eyes,
Take some slow,
Deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.
By slowing down the breath,
You are slowing down the mind.
A calm mind is a healing mind,
A mind that can picture positivity,
Energy,
Gods radiance or the essence of the earth or whatever source of vitality you connect to.
A calm mind,
A peaceful mind,
Aided by a body that is slowly breathing,
Can send positivity to yourself and to others.
Take a breath,
Relax your muscles and draw your attention down through your body,
From your head all the way through to your feet.
We are scanning for tension,
For a block,
For a barrier,
For something out of whack.
Colours may come to mind,
Free flowing,
Bright,
Rich,
Full colours,
Where the energy is flowing,
Where you are at peace,
Where you are free.
But there will be places in your body that don't feel that way,
That don't look that way.
These blocks will appear dark and sludgy and just not quite right.
When you discover a block,
Breathe,
Breathe into that space and imagine yourself directing two beams of positive,
Healing,
Glowing,
Radiant energy towards those places in your body,
Towards the blackness,
Towards the blockages,
Towards the barriers.
You're going to apply those two streams of energy as a pincer,
Almost as if it was a muscle that was tense and you are massaging out your muscle to release the tension.
In that same way,
We're going to hold the points of tension with these two points of energy and apply some light pressure.
This pressure represents our focus,
Our attention,
Our desire to heal,
To let go,
To relax,
To feel.
As you're applying this light tension,
Be open to emotions coming,
Be open to your body physically letting go and relaxing and releasing,
Be open to change.
Often times we hold emotionality in our body and unless we actively pursue its release,
We will never heal from it.
This is one of the causes of chronic pain,
It's purely emotional.
It may have started by a physical injury or issue or an illness perhaps,
But it's perpetuated because we put our emotions into that space.
So take a breath,
Breathe in and gently allow yourself to let that energy flow through you and out of you to be expressed by you.
It's okay if you need to laugh or cry or scream or grunt or make any other number of sounds or vocalizations.
It's okay to say things in response to these feelings.
You might have put them there last year or the year before or tens of years ago.
Maybe they come from your inner child,
Maybe that person is trying to tell you something.
They were holding onto it all this time,
It's okay to let it go,
To release,
To accept.
You can thank that part of you that held onto this tension because it was trying to help you and it did help you.
But now it's time to let go,
Now it's time to move on,
Now it's time to be free,
Now it's time to release.
I thank you,
My dear body,
For keeping me safe,
For protecting me,
For bracing me,
For holding me upright,
For taking me where I need to go,
For always being there for me.
I thank you,
My dear body,
For being me.
I invite you to slowly scan your entire body for these points and anywhere you find a block,
A barrier,
A blackness,
Take some time.
Investigate it with your mind,
Apply some pressure with those points of healing energy and invite whatever is inside to be let go of.
Not because we're running from it,
But because we're letting go of it,
Because our body has done enough,
Because it's time to heal.
Take a slow breath,
Move your attention down,
From your crown,
To your third eye,
To your throat,
To your heart,
To your solar plexus,
To your groin.
Down your legs,
To your feet,
And your neck,
And your shoulders,
And your arms,
And your hands,
And your back.
Take a moment to scan the entirety of your body,
And when you find a place of tension,
Sit with it and breathe into it for the remainder of the session.
If you find your mind wandering,
Or lost in thought,
Gently bring it back to the body scan,
At the last point you remember scanning.
Allow yourself to laugh,
Or cry,
Or say whatever needs to be said,
At the time that it needs to be said,
Whenever you need to say it.
Relax your jaw,
Drop your shoulders,
Release your belly,
And clench your fists.
Relax.
Take a breath.
Well done.
I invite you to return to this meditation as many times as you like.
Have a great day.
