Here’s a Sample of the “A Safe Place to Deal with Pain” Guided Meditation Script:
Welcome to this guided meditation session to create a safe place for you…Chronic pain can be very hard to handle, but many times when we create a mental image of our suffering, we tend to aggravate this pain, thus increasing it.Then every time we feel this sensation, we will have a negative thought attached to it on a conscious and subconscious level.So what this meditation will teach you are techniques to change the mental image that has been created from this pain, and instead implement a peaceful association with pleasant visualizations that create a warmer bonding between you and your body’s sensations.This allows you to accept and allow instead of fight and push away.Make sure you are in a very comfortable position.Sit down, or lay down if that feels good for you, however you need to position yourself so that none of your muscles are activated or tense.Every part of your body can rest and feel completely relaxed during this meditation.
Begin by taking 5 deep breaths to relax even more.1……. Full breath in……and let it go2 …….Fully inhale………and exhale3……..breathe in as much as you can…….and let it go, feeling a wave of relaxation come over you4……..inhale deeply……..and exhale, feeling invigorated5……..last one, fully inhale……….and exhale, feeling any tension loosen up and your body feeling extremely relaxed.Good.And just allow your breath to slow and flow naturally now, don’t try to change anything about it.Just notice the calmness that these 5 breaths gifted you.Notice how your body breathes without you doing anything at all.Begin to feel any sensations that you associate with your pain.Bring them into your awareness and allow the feelings to multiply.
