The Relaxation Thermometer

Hi it's me again. The reason for this last meditation in this section of the blog is to help you to acheive a super-deep state of relaxation. The kind that you'll need while in the early stages of "healing land".l (This means if you're sick, hurt, or you've just had surgery). So with that, let's get started.

Instructions:
A. Get into a comfortable position and allow your eyes to gently close. Take several deep cleansing breaths & allow yourself to relax.
B. Now with your imagination, picture that on the inside of your body is a large, soft, bendable thermometer that's been inverted. Its bulb is above your forehead and the base of the tube goes all the way down to the soles of your feet. Within the bulb is a colorless, oderless liquid of natural painkilers & relaxents. There are 40 levels within the thermometer. As you count yourself down form 40,39,38, and so forth visualize the liquid flowing easily from one number to the next. This liquid flows into your bloodstream helping your body to relax even more. In order to help make this concept stronger & more real, picture more of the liquid flowing down inside of the thermometer's tube. You'll find yourself becoming more deeply relaxed as the liquid fills more of the space inside the tube.
C. When you get to the round numbers of 30,20,10, & 9, you'll find yourself in a new & deeper state of relaxation. As you approach the last 10 numbers, you'll reach a super-deep state of relaxation and you'll be totally zoned out. (Which is where you'll want to be in the early stages of healing).
D. When you're totally relaxed, picture yourself wearing a long glove that has a very strong anestheic inside of it. Make this glove any color that you'd like it to be. Now picture this anesthetic moving from your fingertips, up your arms, and all the way up to your elbows. Picture your whole arm becoming cold & numb....Cold & numb. Once it's completely cold & numb, picture yourself transferring that numbness to any part of your body that has any discomfort or pain.
E. You can use this imagery alone or with your healing assistant. (The second option is helpful if you're facing a potenialy uncomfortable medical procedure or even surgery.
F. When you're ready, take one last deep cleansing breath, count slowly to 5, stretch yourself out a bit & slowly open your eyes. Take these feelings of relaxation with you as you go on with the rest of your day or evening.
I hopw that you've found this meditation helpful and I didn't lose anyone! I'll be back in a couple of days with the introduction to the next section of this blog. So until then ~Nameste~,
