To begin,
Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit or lie down.
Take a moment to feel the surface beneath your body supporting you.
Allow your body to soften and melt into it.
Allow the muscles in your face to relax.
Feel your forehead and eyebrows soften.
Your cheeks and jaw release.
Feel the tension in your face start to drop away,
Drifting downwards with gravity.
Take a couple of slow,
Deep,
Relaxing breaths.
Thank you to this breath of yours,
A loyal and constant companion along the way.
As you inhale deeply,
Feel the warm,
Calm energy from your breath sweep through your body,
Softening any areas that are tight or tense.
As you exhale,
Let it all go.
Allow your inhalation to loosen and your exhalation release.
Good.
Any thoughts or strong emotions are slipping away.
You're breathing slow and steady,
Each inhalation relaxing you,
Each exhalation allowing you to sink deeper and deeper into a state of calm.
Now picture a special place that is either real or imaginary,
Where you feel calm and comfortable,
Safe and relaxed,
A peaceful sanctuary where you want to be.
My special place is a serene forest,
Green,
Gentle,
And filled with the smell of pine needles.
Yours could be a tranquil beach,
A sunny meadow,
A house of worship,
Any place that brings you peace and calm.
Allow your peaceful sanctuary to become more and more vivid,
Pausing to sense the details around you.
What season is it?
What sounds do you hear around you?
What does it smell like here?
Move around your peaceful sanctuary,
Exploring until you find a healing spot which is drawing you in.
Settle into this spot and notice yourself feeling grounded and calm here.
Then observe that off in the distance,
There is a figure walking towards you,
Your inner healer.
This inner healer can look like anything you can imagine.
There are no earthly limits.
It might be yourself 15 years from now,
Or it could be a beloved figure important to you.
In fact,
Each time you do this guided imagery,
A different inner healer may appear.
So for now,
Let whatever bubbles up in this moment start to become clearer as they walk closer and closer to you,
Knowing that your inner healer is someone who is wise,
Who knows you deeply,
And who is committed to your healing.
As your powerful inner healer gets closer to you,
Notice how you feel drawn together,
A magnetic pull that is getting stronger as you approach one another.
When your inner healer finally arrives in your peaceful sanctuary,
They greet you with a loving and compassionate embrace.
They also come with an offering for you.
Their offering may be a message whispered in your ear,
A beam of healing light,
Or even an object to pass along to you.
Whatever their healing offering is today,
Take a moment to receive it now.
It is the offering you need.
Feel how this gift is strengthening you.
Let it reassure you,
Fortify you.
Know that this offering is symbolic of all of the healing that is already going on within you,
The healing that is growing and strengthening with time.
Now your powerful inner healer will work on your physical body.
Picture your inner healer moving through your body to clear away debris,
Eliminate any chaotic cells that do not belong,
And lovingly repair whatever needs repairing.
Soon you can feel the smooth flow of energy in your body.
This smooth flow of energy adds power to your immune system,
Activating it so that it can function at an even higher level.
You see your immune cells increasing in number and strength throughout your body,
Strong and capable,
Effectively protecting you.
Feel how your body is being restored to its original genetic code,
Which is vital,
Healthy,
Strong.
You may even want to say out loud,
I am vital,
Healthy,
Strong.
Now allow your powerful inner healer to work on your emotional and spiritual body,
Gently tending to areas of grief and suffering,
Comforting you,
Consoling you,
Holding you with love.
In response to your inner healer,
You can feel your heart open up,
Extending outwards,
Deepening your spiritual connections.
Feel a shift in your energy.
Feel yourself connected to the infinite beauty of creation.
Feel yourself transformed by love.
Whenever your powerful inner healer has finished their healing work,
They will lovingly move onwards,
Saying a temporary goodbye.
While they are done for the moment,
They are always here for you when you need them.
Easy to access,
Eager to help.
Take a moment to feel gratitude and appreciation for the powerful healing you have just received.
Thank your inner healer and this peaceful sanctuary for the healing it has brought you,
The wellness you are bringing back with you.
Take a full,
Deep belly breath and gently become aware of your surroundings again.
Know that your inner healer is with you always and you can access inner healing at any time.
Inner healing is your birthright.
