Cancer - Successful Chemotherapy

To begin this session,

Close your eyes.

Take a long deep cleansing breath and exhale slowly.

Take another long deep cleansing breath and this time as you exhale allow your whole body to relax,

Your whole body to relax.

Breathing in and breathing out,

Relaxing with each and every breath.

Giving your mind and body complete and full permission to release all and any tension that you may be holding in your body and feel yourself relaxing,

Softening,

Releasing any part of you that may feel tense in any way,

Rigid or tight.

And as your body welcomes these new and comfortable sensations,

You can wonder at the many ways you can experience this softness and the release of tension from within.

And perhaps you can already feel the soothing warmth of relaxation washing down any remnants of tension all the way through and all the way down from the top of your head to the very end of your toes.

Gently bring your attention to your breath and watch its rhythm rise and fall of your chest and notice,

Notice how comfortable and how good it feels to take in life this way as you breathe in and as you breathe out.

With each breath,

You allow yourself to focus inward and to drift ever so gently into a place of true comfort and rest from within.

The further you drift,

Either in thoughts,

In feelings or sensations,

The better you feel and the better you feel,

The more calm,

Relaxed and comfortable you become.

Breathing in and breathing out,

Drifting further and further with each and every breath.

And you might wonder at this time,

Just exactly how calm and relaxed you could ultimately become if you truly allowed yourself to let go and just be.

How much more comfortable you could possibly be if you let go and just be.

How much more comfortable you could possibly feel if you permitted yourself to journey further and further inward into that central part of your mind and body,

That place of inner harmony and inner calm,

That place inside of you of quiet stillness and peace.

Some people,

As they let go,

May notice some tingling sensations throughout their body or some quality of lightness and light as if they could almost float in ease,

Free of all things,

Just letting go,

While others may feel some sort of numbness or heaviness in their body as if they are sinking into a place of soft,

Velvety comfort deep within.

All these feelings and sensations are very appropriate and are perfectly fine.

They simply indicate to you that you are gently letting go,

Fully relaxing all the way through and doing exactly what you need to be doing right now.

And if any thought comes to mind,

Any kind of thought that you have,

Any thought that shifts your focus elsewhere,

Away from feeling comfortable,

Safe and relaxed,

Release it with your breath as you exhale so that your mind can be once again peaceful,

Free and clear.

When the mind is calm and placid,

Still like the surface of a beautiful lake with no ripples,

The body readily follows and it too finds comfort and stillness,

So much so that at times you may even forget to remember it is there at all.

It is there,

It is there,

It is there,

It is there,

So much so that at times you may even forget to remember it is there at all.

If this occurs,

This is perfectly fine,

Even expected.

And then again,

If your experience is somewhat different,

This too is perfectly fine.

Simply observe what you feel as you go along,

As if from afar,

And accept this moment just as it is.

When the mind and body are so wonderfully relaxed,

Your imagination works wonders,

So I would like you to visualize,

See in your mind's eye,

Imagine if you will,

A special place,

A place where you can feel truly safe and secure,

Where you can feel calm and relaxed,

And relax like yourself again,

Free and at peace.

The place you envision can be a place you have visited long ago,

A familiar one that has a special meaning to you,

Or it can be a place you wish to create right now with your imagination and see it in your mind's eye.

Whichever you choose,

Let it be a place of true comfort and goodness,

A place where you can truly feel safe,

Peaceful,

And free.

Take a moment to become aware of your surroundings.

Explore and allow this place of safety and healing to become more real and vivid for you in all of its dimensions.

And as you look around,

Note what you feel is special and meaningful.

What is it about this place that makes it special to you,

That makes you feel so good and comfortable?

In your mind's eye,

See the beauty of this place,

See its colors,

Smell its scents,

And hear its sounds.

Birds,

Leaves,

Water,

Wind,

Or music.

And as you become more and more aware of how safe and peaceful and even healing this place really is,

Feeling thankful and happy to be here,

You see a pool of deep and clear refreshing water just ahead,

A pool of life-giving water,

Ever so gently,

And a pool of water that is so pure and pristine.

The surface is calm and placid,

Perfectly reflecting the clear blue sky above,

Perfectly reflecting the beauty that surrounds you.

And looking into the pool,

Perhaps because the water is so pure and pristine,

It's really hard to say when one shade of color blends with the other,

Changing from the deepest blue,

Ever so gradually to turquoise,

And finally to translucent green,

Blending so smoothly and flowing freely.

And there is something else as well inside that pool,

Something pleasant,

Though not so pleasant,

A special white glow coming from the water,

Illuminating the whole pool.

A sense of comfort washes over you as you look into that beautiful glow.

Your mind becomes still,

Still like the surface of the pool itself.

This wonderful glow fills your entire being with calm,

Making you feel truly safe and secure,

And you get that sense again,

That sense of sweet anticipation that something wonderful is just about to happen,

And no sooner than this realization sets in.

You can see your reflection on the surface of the pool flooded with life,

You can see your reflection on the surface of the pool flooded with light and glowing.

Slowly you reach your hand and touch the glowing water with your finger,

Creating ripples on the surface of the pool,

Ripples that flow gently and endlessly in all directions,

Meeting other ripples,

Creating magical shapes and forms that gently fade away.

A soothing and pleasant sensation begins to flow into your finger as the light extends itself from within the pool,

Never so gently and comfortably into the palm of your hand,

Your arm and your whole body,

Flowing freely inward into the deepest recesses of your being.

It is then that you realize that you have strength and courage you didn't have before.

You are now able to feel the presence of your own body,

It is then that you realize that you have strength and courage you didn't even know you had,

And that there is a place within you,

A central core of existence that is filled with harmony,

With healing powers and life force which knew from the moment you came into this world how to heal your body,

Scrapes and wounds and even injuries,

It knew how to generate new cells and new tissue when needed,

It knew how to regulate its own healthy functioning,

Your heart rate and breathing,

Your body's temperature and blood pressure,

It knew how to do all that effortlessly,

Unconsciously and automatically.

This inner central core of existence is still within you and still working to heal you from the inside.

And as more and more light enters your body,

It joins with this innate healing power,

Help it to mend and heal and renew your body effortlessly,

Applying a protective shield around the healthy cells of your body,

Especially your hair,

Digestive tract,

Your bone marrow,

Your heart and any other area that does not need to receive the full effect of the medication.

In your mind's eye,

See this healing power dissolving anything that is not in harmony with your perfect health,

Eliminating any abnormal cell or agents which do not fully promote your true and lasting health,

And in your mind's eye,

See this healing power dissolving anything that is not in harmony with your perfect health,

Eliminating any abnormal cell or agents which do not fully promote your true and lasting well-being.

This shield of light not only protect your vital organs,

Digestive system and hair follicles,

It also purifies every drop of medication that enters your body so that it can properly attach itself to only those cells in your body that are abnormal and need be dissolved.

And as the medication reaches those abnormal cells,

It eliminates them rapidly,

Effectively and completely.

See this taking place as vividly as you can in your mind's eye with your imagination.

See those weak abnormal cell shrivels up,

Dissolving and being released through the normal activity of your body.

And with your inner eye of understanding,

Visualize the healing light protecting every cell,

Every fiber,

Gland and organ in your body,

Especially your scalp and each and every hair follicle in it.

See these healing powers strengthening and revitalizing the roots of your hair,

Shielding them from harm.

And then see the medication agents as they scour your entire system,

Identifying,

Eliminating anything that does not truly reflect your state of proper health.

And with only your thought,

Further directly slide through your body,

See it shielding and protecting your esophagus,

Your stomach and intestines.

See it protecting your heart and even the cells in the marrow of your bones where new blood cells are being made,

Shielding them from the medication,

Enhancing their vitality and health.

Feeling all throughout your body the cleansing power of this healing glowing light,

You embrace this moment and the many blessings that it offers.

This new awareness stimulates your mind with a new vision of health,

With positive thoughts and powerful mental images of yourself already healthy,

Completely recovered,

Feeling strong and whole again,

Healed in every way.

Allow the richness of this awareness to resonate through the very fiber of your being and carry you forward in time into the near future,

Perhaps few weeks from today.

And see in your mind's eye the incredible progress that you have made.

You have more energy and you feel more invigorated and intact,

Optimistic and inspired to thrive and heal even more so than ever before.

With this newfound sense of comfort,

Take a moment to be thankful and celebrate the knowledge that even as you listen and deposit what is being played in the treasury of your subconscious mind,

You are healing,

Making progress,

Doing exactly what you need to do.

Quietly but purposefully say to yourself,

In this moment I allow myself to heal.

I am ready to have myself healed forever and ever,

I really do.

In this moment I allow myself to heal.

I am ready to have myself healed forever and ever,

I really do.

And as the meaning of these words sink deep into your mind,

You recognize a major shift has occurred inside of you all for the better,

Physically,

Mentally and emotionally.

And you recognize that this shift will continue to develop even further with or without your conscious effort to do so,

For that is the nature of the healing operation within us all.

Never so gently,

In a peaceful and relaxed manner,

Bring your thoughts and awareness back to your special place in a pool of deep,

Clear and glowing water.

The healing light from within the pool is still within you,

Helping you to make progress,

And it will remain there for as long as you need supporting and comforting and healing you as you go along.

Now,

In a moment,

As my voice gently fades away,

You will have the choice to either bring your thoughts and attention back to this present time into an awake and comfortable state,

Or continue to feel so peaceful and so wonderfully relaxed,

Possibly going even deeper into a soothing and restful natural sleep.

Trust your mind and body to know what is right for you,

And follow,

Follow that notion.

To bring your attention back to this moment in time,

Simply count your way up from number one up to number ten,

And with each and every number,

Feel yourself emerging safely,

Rising back to here and now,

Feeling good in every way,

Refreshed,

Energized and ready to go.

And then again,

If you wish to further deepen your relaxation and sleep into a long and restful,

Peaceful sleep,

Count your way down from ten to number one,

Then with each and every number,

Let your mind relax more and more.

And after a few numbers,

It doesn't take long,

All the numbers will begin to fade away and disappear,

Fade away from your thoughts and mind.

Regardless of your choice,

Know that you have done important healing work here today as you listened,

And that you are better for this.

And so you are.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.
