This is Cindy Gilman.
You generally know me as a spiritual medium,
But I'm also a certified relaxation and hypnosis counselor.
With this unusual outbreak of the coronavirus,
Many of you are under great stress.
Stress,
As you know,
Exacerbates chronic illness,
Conditions,
Neck and back pain,
Muscle tension,
Digestive problems.
So,
I have created a complimentary meditation for all of you to listen to.
Now,
There are certain times when you should not listen to this meditation.
If you are driving,
Please pull over and listen,
Or do not listen to it while you're in your car.
Do not listen to this if you have a seizure disorder,
For during meditation,
You will go into a deeper level of consciousness.
So,
Let's begin.
When I ask you to take a deep breath,
Fill up your lungs,
Fill with relaxation,
And exhale any tension.
Remember,
Filling up your lungs does not mean raising your shoulders.
Filling up your lungs,
Your lungs expand sideways.
So,
Let's try it.
Take in a deep breath,
Feel your lungs expand.
That's it.
Fill yourself with relaxation and exhale any tension.
Let's begin the meditation.
Find a comfortable chair with your feet flat on the floor or ground,
Your hands and arms by your side.
Keep your legs and hands uncrossed so that energy can flow freely through your body.
When you find a comfortable place,
Close your eyes and imagine yourself,
Not see yourself,
Imagine yourself in a place of peace that may be near the water,
By a lake or stream,
Wherever you feel at peace.
Now,
Close your eyes gently,
Take in a slow deep breath,
Filling yourself with relaxation and exhaling any tension.
Now,
Take a second deep breath,
Breathing in relaxation,
Exhaling any tension.
Let's begin by focusing on your feet,
Your toes,
The soles of your feet,
Your ankles.
Release the stress from your body through the soles of your feet.
Allow them to be grounded.
Release all the stress and tension in your feet through the soles of your feet.
Now,
Allow that feeling of relaxation to flow up through the calves of your legs.
Contract the muscles in the calves and relax the muscles in your calves,
Breathing easily and effortlessly,
Knowing that you breathe in relaxation and exhale any tension.
Now,
That feeling of relaxation will flow up through the muscles in the upper part of your legs.
Feel your legs completely and totally relaxed,
Breathing easily and effortlessly,
Breathing in relaxation,
Exhaling any tension.
Just let the clutter in your mind let go.
Sometimes this happens at the beginning of the meditation.
Just let it go.
Focus on the sound of my voice and the words that I say.
Breathe in and exhale.
Now,
Focus on the lower part of your back,
Your buttocks,
Around to the lower pelvic area,
The lower abdominal area.
That feeling of relaxation fills your body.
As you focus on the base of your spine,
Start to climb your spine like climbing a little ladder,
Relaxing each part of your back,
The lower back,
That's it,
Kidney area,
Your adrenal glands,
The midsection of your back.
Breathe in and exhale the upper part of your back where your lungs are located.
Feel your abdominal muscles start to relax.
As you take in a slow deep breath and you fill yourself with relaxation,
Allow all the stress and tension you hold in your chest.
Release from your chest,
Dare to let it go,
Your chest is totally and completely relaxed.
Now,
Focus on your shoulders.
Allow the feeling of relaxation to flow down through your shoulders,
Your shoulder blades,
The muscles in your upper arms,
Down through your elbows,
Your hands,
Each finger of each hand,
Your arms and hands completely relaxed.
Begin to feel your neck relaxed.
Release the tension in your neck,
Around through your throat,
Your jaws,
The small muscles around your mouth,
Your cheeks,
The bridge of your nose,
Your eyelids,
Your eyebrows,
Your forehead,
The top of your head,
The back of your head,
Breathing easily and effortlessly.
Now focus if you will,
Just behind the center of your forehead in an area we call the third eye.
Picture if you will,
A little window or door just behind the center of your forehead.
Dare to open that window,
Dare to open that window.
Some of you may see colors,
Some of you may feel a sense of openness.
Now go to your highest spiritual source.
Yes,
Go to your highest spiritual source and allow yourself to bring in a beautiful white light.
Through the center of your forehead,
Allow that healing white light to fill your entire being.
Fill your entire being with that beautiful white light.
Now encircle yourself in that white light.
Fill yourself,
Form a complete circle of light around yourself.
Now your body and mind are completely relaxed.
Take a few moments for yourself to enjoy that feeling and thank your body for being good to you.
Thank your body for being good to you.
Take a few moments.
Your body and mind are completely and totally relaxed.
You can take this feeling with you even after we near the end of this meditation.
And so as we near the end of this meditation,
Begin to feel yourself aware of the surroundings that you're in,
The chair you're sitting on.
Pull yourself out of that alpha level slowly and gently.
Feel yourself starting to come back to that beta level.
Slowly and gently start to open your eyes.
Slowly and gently start to open your eyes.
Be aware of everything in the room that you're in.
Be aware of each object in the room.
Feeling comfortable and relaxed.
Knowing that you are in complete control of your mind and body.
Open your eyes and just sit for a moment and think about the things you've just experienced.
I hope this will help you as we go through this time and know that you can always get in touch with me if you need extra help.
