These meditations will help you create a safe, easeful surgery experience. You don't have to believe in the power of these strategies. Just by listening to them, they will seep into your unconscious mind and your subconscious will do all the work for you. If you have difficulty visualising - this tip is particularly important to you. Just feel it. Your conscious mind does not have to do anything! These meditations are useful, powerful strategies not only for before surgery, during and directly after surgery, but for the rest of your life. These words by one of my clients says it all - "I use the strategies you have taught me basically every day and I cannot ever fully express my gratitude for how much you have helped me relax and just live in the moment instead of worrying." I trust you will enjoy your healing meditation experience for before and after surgery ... and for the rest of your life :). Disclaimer: These healing meditations are a guide for you to have a successful surgery experience.
