Meditation

• Imagery works best with eyes closed. Create an image in mind, such as a place or activity that brought peace in the past. 
• Imagine oneself as a person without pain. Try cutting wires that send pain signals between different parts of the body. Imagine being pain free after cutting these wires.
• Imagine one is a ball of healing energy. Feel the negative energy escaping the body with each breath. Imagine that the air one breathes in is full of healing energy, healing the painful areas of the body. Repeat this process. 
• To end the imagery, please count one to three. Say silently to oneself that one feels alert and relaxed.
