• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Hey there, today I'm going to offer you a guided visualization for pain relief.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: This can be applied to actual physical pain, but it can also be used for any pain that you are holding emotionally that you are holding emotionally.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So, when we focus on pain, our body tenses and we don't breathe correctly and our muscles they tighten.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And again, whether it's physical pain or emotional pain, our body responds or reacts in the same way.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So learning to relax our body and reduce tension can ultimately release and reduce the pain that we experience.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: So this visualization, coupled with meditation, can be an excellent pain reliever when used on a regular basis.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: So before I guide you into this visualization and meditation, take a moment to set an intention for today's practice.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Specificity is so important because it guides our brain and our thoughts on what to focus on and by setting an intention, this allows us to get the fullest benefit of the practice.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So I want you to settle into a comfortable position, making sure that you will not be disturbed and, when you're ready, just close your eyes and take a deep inhale for the count of four, three, two, one, holding at the top and exhaling for a count of four, three, two and one, and while you continue to breathe in this way, in your own rhythm.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: As you inhale, just say to yourself breathing in, and on that exhale, simply say breathing out.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: As you continue to breathe in this way.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: On the inhale, breathe in a warm air that flows throughout your body, providing energy to your chakras.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: With each deep breath, notice how your muscles are becoming more relaxed and your mind is slowing down.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: If your mind wanders to a thought, that's perfectly normal and part of the process, as we let go, so just gently bring it back and continue to focus on your breathing, breathing deep from your stomach.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Inhale a soft, glowing red, bringing it towards your root chakra, at the base of the spine, in the tailbone area.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Imagine the red light glowing brightly in this area, keeping you grounded and encouraging feelings of balance and security, slowly moving up towards the belly button.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Now breathe in a soft, glowing orange color, sending it to your sacral chakra, two inches below the navel.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Imagine this bright, radiant light energizing this area as you feel your emotions becoming more balanced.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Moving up towards your upper abdomen, about one inch above your navel, breathe in a vibrant, glowing yellow, sending it to your solar plexus chakra.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: This chakra is about self-esteem, confidence and self-worth, so spend some time here, if these are areas that you would like to improve in your life.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Imagine the sunshine yellow energizing your solar plexus moving up towards your heart.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Breathe in a beautiful green color and send it to your heart chakra.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: This chakra enables us to feel love and open our hearts.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So, with each breath in, imagine filling your heart with pure love and energy.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Open your heart and allow yourself to be loved and to love others.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Feel at peace as the green energy transforms your heart.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Moving up towards the throat, breathe in a deep blue color into the throat chakra.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: This area enables our body to communicate and express ourselves.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Imagine a beautiful blue color energizing this area as we move up towards the forehead and between the eyes.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Let's breathe in a vibrant indigo color, sending it to our third eye chakra.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: This represents our ability to focus, to see and solve problems and to foresee what the future holds.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Allow this energy to grow stronger as you breathe in more indigo and feel your intuition and insight becoming stronger.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Finally, we'll move up towards your crown chakra, at the top of the head, breathing in a glowing violet color, and send it to your crown chakra, the highest chakra in your body.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It represents spirituality and our ability to be one with the world.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: It is the center of pure bliss and nirvana.

  Speaker 1: Be one with the world.

  Speaker 1: Feel the violet.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Grow stronger, will you become more aware of your body, your mind, your spirit and the world around you?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So now we're going to take some time to be present in our bodies, feel the different sensation of positive energy flowing through your feet and your legs and your trunk and your arms and your hands, your chest, your neck and head and, with your mind's eye, look into your body and focus on an area of pain.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: If it's emotional pain, draw awareness around where in your body you are holding this emotional pain.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: If it's actual pain, physically focus on the muscles around that area.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I want you to imagine this area of pain as a certain shape, whatever comes for you, and highlight the shape.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Now I want you to imagine stepping into that shape, knowing that it is perfectly safe to do so, and, as you are standing there, look around and smile.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe you rub your hands along the shape and you feel nothing but love and compassion for this shape.

  Speaker 1: Feel the shape becoming warmer.
