I'm willing to bet that you've noticed that your digestive symptoms get worse when you
feel stressed out, whether that's a new stress that's ongoing or something with your job, or
even stress about food and your digestion itself. And the truth is that your digestion works best
when you are in what's called the rest and digest state. So in today's video, I'm going to give you
a powerful gut healing meditation that can help reset your digestive system and your nervous
system for optimal digestion. My students have told me that this meditation is very helpful,
that it's very relaxing and really does help improve their symptoms. So I'm excited to
share it with you. So let's get started. And just a quick note that today's video
will be a little different than normal. There will be nature images and video on the screen
while I am doing voiceover with the meditation. So I'm excited for you to enjoy. Let's go.
Find a comfortable place to sit, lie down or rest. Set your phone on airplane mode and turn off
all distractions. If your mind is focused on something that you're worried about forgetting,
pause the recording, write it down, and trust that you can come back to it later.
To begin, take a full deep breath,
and on your exhale close your eyes gently. Call to mind your favorite place in the world.
It could be a place in nature, a place from your childhood where you felt safe, or your home.
Choose the place you feel most safe and comfortable
and imagine yourself walking down a beautiful path and arriving there.
Now that you've arrived, you see a special doorway you'd never noticed before. There's bright,
white light shining out from around and under the door. You open the door and walk through.
On the other side of this door, you find a most peaceful healing sanctuary space.
The temperature is just right. The sound is quiet and close.
This space is filled with a peaceful feeling. There's a slight cool breeze
moving the air throughout and it's filled with luscious green plants.
If you like, a soothing fountain is trickling water over stones,
and you know that everything you need to do or handle
can wait while you surrender to the relaxation and peacefulness of this room.
Inside this room, you see the most comfortable looking chair or couch you've ever seen.
You sit or lie down on this chair or couch, and your body feels deeply nurtured and supported.
It's as though it's giving you a precious hug your loved one might have shared with you.
And as you settle in, you close your imaginary eyes as well.
As you sit in this comfortable seat, you notice all of the tension has left your body. Your jaw
loosens, the space between your eyes let's go, and your shoulders get heavy and relaxed.
While any tension you feel in your body is releasing, your inner eye sees that your
loved ones who nurture and support you unconditionally are entering the room.
These may be people or animals who are alive or have passed on, as well as your spiritual advisors
or entities. Invite anyone you wish to be there to come in and encircle you with their love and care.
Now that you're supported by the loving energy and care of the people,
animals, and entities you love, you turn your attention to your belly.
Know and trust that though your digestion has given you trouble,
it really wants to do its work for you and heal.
Place your real and imaginary hands over your stomach with a light touch and imagine white
golden light flowing out of the centers of your palms.
Imagine also that everyone in the room around you is sending their intentions
for your peaceful, healed digestion. If you feel comfortable with this,
invite some or all of them to place their hands on your belly also.
Visualize their healing intentions flowing as white, golden light into your digestive system,
your stomach, intestines, your liver, your bowels, anywhere that you feel needs attention.
And as this white golden healing light flows,
any irritated or inflamed areas feel soothed and calmed. This light dissolves
anything painful or distressing it touches and transforms it into calm, peaceful resolution.
Continue to let this white golden light flow into your belly until the flow naturally slows
and you feel content and full of satisfying peaceful energy.
I'm going to pause speaking for a few moments to allow you to let this healing energy flow.
When you feel complete, thank your community of loved ones for their loving care.
Thank your digestion for the diligent and dedicated work it does for you.
And thank the healing room for providing the space for this healing.
Your inner self sits up feeling refreshed, energized, and light.
Say goodbye to the healing room for now. You walk out of the healing room into your favorite place
and close the door behind you, knowing that you are leaving behind and releasing
anything that doesn't serve you. This healing room has an infinite capacity to absorb sickness,
pain or discomfort. Know also that you can return to this healing room anytime you need help.
Walk the path you see back to the here and now and slowly open your eyes.
Welcome back to the here and now. Take a few moments to integrate this experience
and just notice how you feel. It's normal to feel peaceful and grounded and even a little sleepy.
And just know that you can repeat this meditation as often as you need or like to support your
important digestive healing work. I'm curious to hear from you how this meditation felt for you.
And I'm curious to hear what you noticed in your body. Please share about it in the comments.
Now you can relax your digestion and your nervous system anytime you want by using
this meditation. But what if you have lots of questions about nuts and bolts kinds of things,
like what to eat for your good digestion, and how to use supplements and that kind of thing?
Well, I can definitely help with that. My new eight week online program is designed to help
people with IBS and SIBO symptoms who are confused and frustrated with their gut healing diets
and protocols, go from anxiety, endless questions, and second guessing to a confident plan for calm
digestion. If this sounds like something you need help with, I encourage you to
apply for a seat of the program by visiting me at confluencenutrition.com/contact. Everything you
need to know is over there. I'll look forward to meeting you and finding out how I can help get you
feeling better. I hope this video helped you find a new well of peaceful and calm digestion, and
helps you have a new tool to use in your process of digestive healing. If you like this video,
