You can use this meditation in order to work with pain directly and speed up the healing process.
Instructions:
A. Make yourself comfortable and allow your eyes to close. Take several deep cleansinng breaths all the way down into your belly. In through the nose and out through the mouth. Do a progressive relaxation so you'll feel settled.
B. Now picture what's going on inside of your body. For example, if you've had abdominal surgery, picture your abdominal muscles coming back together, your intestines waking up, and your skin incision healing without any infections or other complications. In addition, you might want to use the Inner Dialogue exercise in order to help with this. Another way that you may want to use this is if you have to have a lot of blood tests and your veins are bad like mine are. You can visualize the blood flowing into your veins, then into the tubing and syrenge without any problems. In addition you can use a mantra. I use "Go Ahead.". (I actually learned this from a praise and worship tape entitled Welcome Home by Ron Kenoly. And that was one of the songs on the tape. So I use the chorus from that song when I want to talk to any p of my body that needs to cooperate).
C. When you feel ready, slowly wake your body back up by taking one more deep cleansing breath, counting slowly to 5, stretching yourself out a bit, and slowly opening your eyes.
I hope that you find this meditation helpful in accepting and working with whatever physical discomfort or pain that you may have in your body at any time. I'll be back in a couple of days with a new meditation. Until then ~Nameste~,
