Guided Visualization for Pain Relief

Speaker 1

Hey there , today I'm going to offer you a guided visualization for pain relief . This can be applied to actual physical pain , but it can also be used for any pain that you are holding emotionally that you are holding emotionally . So , when we focus on pain , our body tenses and we don't breathe correctly and our muscles they tighten . And again , whether it's physical pain or emotional pain , our body responds or reacts in the same way . So learning to relax our body and reduce tension can ultimately release and reduce the pain that we experience . So this visualization , coupled with meditation , can be an excellent pain reliever when used on a regular basis . So before I guide you into this visualization and meditation , take a moment to set an intention for today's practice . Specificity is so important because it guides our brain and our thoughts on what to focus on and by setting an intention , this allows us to get the fullest benefit of the practice . So I want you to settle into a comfortable position , making sure that you will not be disturbed and , when you're ready , just close your eyes and take a deep inhale for the count of four , three , two , one , holding at the top and exhaling for a count of four , three , two and one , and while you continue to breathe in this way , in your own rhythm . As you inhale , just say to yourself breathing in , and on that exhale , simply say breathing out . As you continue to breathe in this way . On the inhale , breathe in a warm air that flows throughout your body , providing energy to your chakras . With each deep breath , notice how your muscles are becoming more relaxed and your mind is slowing down . If your mind wanders to a thought , that's perfectly normal and part of the process , as we let go , so just gently bring it back and continue to focus on your breathing , breathing deep from your stomach . Inhale a soft , glowing red , bringing it towards your root chakra , at the base of the spine , in the tailbone area . Imagine the red light glowing brightly in this area , keeping you grounded and encouraging feelings of balance and security , slowly moving up towards the belly button . Now breathe in a soft , glowing orange color , sending it to your sacral chakra , two inches below the navel . Imagine this bright , radiant light energizing this area as you feel your emotions becoming more balanced .

Speaker 1

Moving up towards your upper abdomen , about one inch above your navel , breathe in a vibrant , glowing yellow , sending it to your solar plexus chakra . This chakra is about self-esteem , confidence and self-worth , so spend some time here , if these are areas that you would like to improve in your life . Imagine the sunshine yellow energizing your solar plexus moving up towards your heart . Breathe in a beautiful green color and send it to your heart chakra . This chakra enables us to feel love and open our hearts . So , with each breath in , imagine filling your heart with pure love and energy . Open your heart and allow yourself to be loved and to love others . Feel at peace as the green energy transforms your heart .

Speaker 1

Moving up towards the throat , breathe in a deep blue color into the throat chakra . This area enables our body to communicate and express ourselves . Imagine a beautiful blue color energizing this area as we move up towards the forehead and between the eyes . Let's breathe in a vibrant indigo color , sending it to our third eye chakra . This represents our ability to focus , to see and solve problems and to foresee what the future holds . Allow this energy to grow stronger as you breathe in more indigo and feel your intuition and insight becoming stronger . Finally , we'll move up towards your crown chakra , at the top of the head , breathing in a glowing violet color , and send it to your crown chakra , the highest chakra in your body . It represents spirituality and our ability to be one with the world . It is the center of pure bliss and nirvana . Be one with the world . It is the center of pure bliss and nirvana . Feel the violet . Grow stronger , will you become more aware of your body , your mind , your spirit and the world around you ?

Speaker 1

So now we're going to take some time to be present in our bodies , feel the different sensation of positive energy flowing through your feet and your legs and your trunk and your arms and your hands , your chest , your neck and head and , with your mind's eye , look into your body and focus on an area of pain . If it's emotional pain , draw awareness around where in your body you are holding this emotional pain . If it's actual pain , physically focus on the muscles around that area . I want you to imagine this area of pain as a certain shape , whatever comes for you , and highlight the shape . Now I want you to imagine stepping into that shape , knowing that it is perfectly safe to do so , and , as you are standing there , look around and smile . Maybe you rub your hands along the shape and you feel nothing but love and compassion for this shape . Feel the shape becoming warmer . You are becoming warmer While standing in the shape . Close your eyes and repeat I forgive you , I forgive you .

Speaker 1

Notice how the shape is becoming brighter . See this in your mind's eye . It's beginning to sparkle Sparkles all around you . It's draining down shimmering sparkles . They're dissolving into your muscles and your bones and your blood vessels and your nerves and your cells . And as you hold your hands up and gently feel the sparkles against your skin like snowflakes , tell your shape that you love it . Open your heart and feel immense love radiate towards your shape . Tell your shape that it is okay to let go and feel love In your mind's eye . Place your hands on your heart and repeat I love you , I love you , I love you , I love you , I love you . Watch and see your shape becoming even brighter as it shimmers with love . See the shape dissolve around you and the sparkles dance away full of loving energy . The sparkles dance out of your body and gradually disappear into the universe like stars . As you look back at where the shape used to be , see a place of renewed vitality and health . Notice how pink and healthy the area looks now . See your cells function perfectly . See your blood flow perfectly .

Speaker 1

Step back out of your body , remembering that you are completely safe , letting go of any judging thoughts . I want you to imagine a warm water flush through your body , and with it comes security , compassion and forgiveness . Feel your body , let go . Allow your body to be free to feel alive , breathe into it . It's okay to be you . It's okay to feel healthy . You are in control of your life . Only you can be the beautiful person that you are and always have been . Let them release and when you're ready , we're going to repeat the following affirmations I am patient with my body .

Healing Power of Love Meditation

Speaker 1

I trust in the power of love to heal my body . I allow my body to feel love . I am love . I create love . I let go of any past grievances and forgive others . The more I let go , the healthier I become . It is safe for me to be open to love . To be open to love , I receive healing energy from myself . My body fully supports and guides me with love throughout my healing journey . I am a magnificent , radiant being . I allow myself to be healed . I love and accept my body exactly the way it is . Healing flows into my body easily . I'm going to count from five through one . Starting at five , you begin to wake up from the meditative state . Four you are becoming more alert . Three stretch your arms up and take a deep breath . Two slowly begin to open your eyes , and one open your eyes fully . You are now fully awake , or maybe you've fallen asleep , but when you awake you will be feeling refreshed and energized . Namaste , my friends .
