A Place To Heal

This meditation will help you to create an optimal place for healing to happen both in and out of the hospital. (Which is important if you're just having tests or an uncomfortable medical procedure-even major surgery).

A. Make yourself comfortable and allow yourself to relax. Do the inner dialogue exercise that you've learned in the previous meditation.

B. Once you've done that, tell yourself "I'm able and willing to give my body all that it needs in order to heal".

C. After that, imagine that your body can communicate with you. Not only with words, but with images, impressions, thoughts, or feelings creating a mental picture.

D. Ask your body, "where would be the best place for healing to occur?" Allow your body to describe the scenery. Including all of your senses, as well as the temperature and the people and things that you want with you. Allow the image to take shape in your mind as clearly and vividly as possible.

E. Next, picture yourself in a comfortable place where you can lie down and stretch yourself out. And as you do, you feel a sense of calm and relaxation sweeping through you.

F. While you rest, you notice a figure standing beside you. Is this person a man or a woman? Young, middle-aged, or old? As he or she tenderly puts a hand on your shoulders, you feel warmth coming from his or her fingers. Your assistant's eyes shine with wisdom and he or she smiles and asks you, "Where does it hurt? You tell your assistant, your helper where the pain is

G. Next, your healing assistant puts a bunch of white washrags in a bowl and pors a fragrent healing solution on them. What sent is it?

H. After the rags have absorbed some of the healing solution, he/she puts the rags on all of the parts of your body that need to be healed. (Even the a few places that you may have forgotten about or just didn't know about).

I. The rags lay on your body exerting a gentle pressure. While the white rags absorb all of the pain, tension, and toxins they change colors. They go from white to gray to charcoal gray and finally to black. Next, your healing assistant removes these rags and throws them in a white trash bag.

J. Next, your healing assistant puts on a fresh set of rags on your body and the same thing happens. In addition, your assistant removes these rags and tosses them. Now a 3rd set of rags is placed softly on your body and your assistant waits. But these turn light gray and don't get any darker indicating that the healing is complete. Your healing assistant removes these rags and tosses them as well. Then he/she ties a knot in the trash bag to close it up. Again, he/she puts his/her hands on your shoulders. and you thank him/her for helping you to heal. Your healing assistant smiles lovingly, squeezes your shoulders once again and leaves taking the trash bag with him/her in order to get rid of it.

K. You feel tremendously better and you have a heightened sense of well being.

L. When you feel ready, take one more deep cleansing breath, count slowly to 5, stretch yourself out a bit, and slowly open your eyes. Take the feelings of peace and relaxation with you as you go on with the rest of your day or evening.

I hope that you find this meditation helpful in managing pain and accelerating your own healing process. I'll be back in a couple of days with a new meditation. Until then ~Nameste~,
