To begin,
Take a moment to settle in comfortably and take a few deep,
Calming breaths.
The physiologic sigh is a type of breath where you inhale slowly through your nose,
Take a sniff of extra air to fully expand your lungs,
And then exhale and release through your mouth.
In studies,
The physiologic sigh was even more effective than meditation for creating calm and resetting the balance in your nervous system.
Let's take a moment to reset together.
I embrace myself wholeheartedly and dedicate myself to being a kind and gentle friend to myself along this healing journey.
Part of my job now is to rest,
Rejuvenate,
And restore my health.
I am able to set clear boundaries in order to care for myself.
I am capable,
Strong,
And naturally resilient.
I can handle whatever comes my way.
More and more,
I accept what I cannot control and trust the bigger picture.
I cultivate my own inner peace and calm so that I make wise choices for my own well-being.
I call upon my intention to heal my physical body,
My emotional body,
And my spiritual body.
I engage my powerful will to assist me in doing this.
I instruct my body to reset back to its original healthy genetic code,
Which is vital,
Healthy,
Strong.
I can feel it as I hear these words,
Vital,
Healthy,
Strong.
I am grateful for the fear which arises to alert me when something is unsafe.
I can use the fear to fuel my actions and my commitment to keeping myself safe.
I can also source these actions and this commitment from my own inner sense of peace and calm.
More and more,
I am able to be tender,
Compassionate,
And kind to myself.
I am able to deeply listen to myself,
Paying attention to signs and messages coming from my own inner wisdom.
I invite assistance from my friends,
Loved ones,
As well as the plants,
Trees,
And nature all around me to lend me their support and strength.
I sense myself surrounded by their love and care,
And I feel the warmth of their kindness spread gently through my body.
I see myself surrounded by ancestors,
Guardian angels,
And with God's healing presence during my treatment.
I feel them watching over my body and blessing me with unconditional love.
I see myself surrounded by capable,
Caring staff during my treatment,
Working with kind competence to ensure my well-being.
I thank the medicine and procedures designed to reinforce my body's natural ability to heal itself,
And I join my strength and purpose to theirs.
As my time in treatment unfolds,
I am able to adjust and adapt,
Adjust and adapt.
I am flexible and resilient as I move through my medical care.
I know there are some moments when I feel sad,
Fearful,
Or angry,
And I accept and allow what I feel as my inner truth of the moment.
I offer myself compassion and understanding for what I feel.
More and more,
I can soften and let go of unrealistic demands and rigid expectations of myself and others.
I know that when I forgive myself and others for mistakes of the past,
I am helping myself to heal.
I love and appreciate myself,
Take time to care for myself,
And am a clear advocate for myself.
I give myself the time and space I need to heal.
I find joy,
Courage,
And grace in moments throughout my day.
Like gathering flowers in a meadow,
I gather loving kindness and self-compassion and place them in my body,
Feeling them fill my arms and legs,
My belly,
Chest,
And head.
When I go to sleep,
I instruct my body to continue healing itself at an even higher intensity than in my waking state.
My powerful immune system is actively scavenging for cancer cells.
My sleep is restful,
Restorative,
And deeply healing.
I sense my body following these instructions.
When I exercise,
I activate my immune system and my resilience.
My body becomes energized and infused with joy,
Self-expression,
And purpose.
I can see my powerful immune system coursing through me,
Recognizing and eliminating any chaotic cancer cells that do not belong.
My white blood cells are circulating through every part of my body.
I see them increasing in number and strength.
They are strong and capable,
Wise and discerning.
I see my white blood cells clearly identifying chaotic cells and melting them away.
I sense my whole immune system working together,
Effectively doing its job.
It is cancer's time to leave and be gone for good.
I see myself receiving effective treatment that successfully goes exactly where it needs to go,
Doing exactly what it is meant to do,
With minimal side effects and very little discomfort.
I see myself recovering quickly and efficiently,
My body comfortable and safe.
More and more,
I feel my soft and grateful heart stay open even in the face of discomfort.
I see soothing warm waves of water cascading down my body,
Softening sore,
Tense,
Or tight places,
And dissolving any discomfort or distress.
I can notice any discomfort as an observer from a distance.
I can lean into small sensations of pleasure in my body.
I can place firm boundaries around suffering so that there is expansive room to feel delight,
Joy,
And wonder.
I am in solidarity with myself.
I thank my body for its loyalty to me,
My companion,
Carrying me as I learn and grow.
I thank my grateful heart for staying soft and open.
I salute my spirit,
Which is unending and pure,
And part of the infinite beauty of creation.
I recognize and cherish my individuality.
I know I have been given unique gifts to share with the world,
That I am inherently worthy and have divine purposes to fulfill.
I cultivate thoughts,
Speech,
And actions that bring healing and well-being both to myself and others.
More and more,
I can sense that there are blessings in my challenges.
These circumstances are guiding me to discover even greater courage,
Strength,
And meaning in my life.
I know that whenever I need to,
I can take some calming breaths and safely rest in the hands of the divine.
