I am a great believer in the body’s wisdom and capacity to heal itself. Today’s blog is a guided healing meditation for you to assist in removing inflammation in your body, protecting nerves and circulation to the brain, heart, organs and limbs, promoting healthy immune response and improving digestive function so that the body is well oxygenated and well nourished. The mind is a powerful thing, and our thought and intent are as potent as any medicine.
Inflammation within the body is a corrosive force that wreaks havoc on our nerves, joints, arteries and veins. It is created through stress, and through diets high in sugar, acid and processed foods. It is exacerbated by lack of sleep, lack of sunlight, lack of or too much exercise, dehydration, smoking and exposure to toxins. Inflammation within the body leads to other problems over time, such as weakened immune systems, auto-immune diseases, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, adrenal burnout, arthritis and cancer. It is like rust that eats away at our pipes and structural supports.
Simple ways to reduce inflammation in your body include:
- supporting your liver, and detoxing where necessary
- removing foods that create inflammation
- eating a diet rich in fresh vegetables
- drinking more water
- cutting out sugar, caffeine and artificial sweeteners
- getting plenty of rest
- spending time in the sun
- reducing stress
- meditating
- using exercise that promotes flow, such as yoga or tai chi
- eating healthy fats and avoiding trans-fats
- doing things that make you happy and that relax you
Guided Meditation
I’ve recorded the following meditation to help guide you through a process of reducing inflammation and promoting healing within your body. It’s around 15 minutes long and all you need to do is close your eyes, and follow my words. (I get a bit choked up near the beginning, so forgive the momentary catch in my voice…)
