This script should be read slowly and deliberately into a tape recorder in your normal voice.
Pause periodically so that when you listen to the tape, you will have time to absorb the instructions.
PROCEDURE FOR LISTENING TO GUIDED IMAGERY
Allot about twenty minutes twice a day.
Sit or lie quietly where you can be alone and quiet for that period of time.
Play the tape. It contains all the directions.
Make a conscious effort to follow the directions.
SCRIPT
This is going to be a time of complete relaxation... a conscious effort to relax as completely as possible. Get into as comfortable a position as you can, and
close your eyes.
For the next couple minutes, just concentrate on your breathing. To the best of your ability, see your lungs... see how they feel, consciously see how they feel while they're completely expanded, and see how they feel after you exhale. Be aware that there's no right way and no wrong way to do what you're doing now ... that whatever results you get are perfect results, and that if all you do is relax, that's wonderful. This is not a time to be worrying about any of the things that are happening in your day-to-day life. This is a time only for you, and you can let it all hang out. For this very short period of time, you can completely relax. You are never out of control. You can feel completely secure.
Now, once again, concentrate on your lungs. Picture them in your mind's eye. See if you can see them filled... see if you can see them after you relax.
And if your mind drifts away, and you want to, just bring it slowly back to where you are or where you want it to be. You are doing nothing wrong, and anything you do will be a success. And if you hear my voice, that'll be fine...and if you don't, that's fine, too. You can be absolutely sure that your subconscious is hearing every word I say.
And now, perhaps, in your mind's eye--way, way out in space--you can see a word all lit up...and the word is RELAX. Just relax... and now that same word is
about a foot in front of your forehead... just see it about a foot in front of your forehead, the word RELAX. And now inside your forehead, see that word, and just relax.
Now perhaps, if you want to, pay attention to your left foot, and the toes on your left foot, and your ankle, and let them all relax... and all the cares and
tensions of the day just drain down into the floor. Consciously let them relax... and any noise you hear will only serve to deepen your relaxation.
And now pay attention, if you will, to your right shoulder. All the muscles of your right shoulder, completely relaxed. All the cares of the day drain away and
leave you. And consciously check your right shoulder to see if there's any tension there. Think about it. And now all of the muscles and tendons of your right foot, and the toes of your right foot, and the ankle, just let them
relax. And now the calf of your right leg, let it relax.
And for this very short time in your mind's eye, perhaps you can see that wonderfully long bone running from your ankle to your knee in you right leg...see how wonderfully straight and long and solid it is...and what a wonderful feat of construction. Let it relax... let all the muscles just relax...and the muscles of your left calf... relax. And way, way out in the future, and way, way into the past.
And this is a process.... just like when you were a very, very little person and you didn't know how to ride a bicycle, or tell time, or read. And when you
were out learning to ride a bicycle, you couldn't even tell how long you were out there because you couldn't tell time, and you didn't know whether there was a difference between writing and printing ... and this is also a
learning process... learning to relax... learning to be at ease.
And now let all the muscles of your left shoulder completely relax... Let it just droop toward the ground... and rest comfortably against the seat you're in.
Let it relax. And now the muscles of your stomach.
Let your stomach just hang out... just relaxed. Once again, it's like when you were a very, very little person, just learning how to do all of the things you had to do, like telling time and reading... And now the muscles of your left thigh... This is a time for relaxation... and you don't have to go to sleep...but if you do, that's fine... and if my voice drifts away, that's fine... and if your mind drifts away, that's fine, too. Whatever you do is wonderful. Completely relax.
And now all the muscles of the right thigh... just let them relax. All the tensions of the day just drain out of them into the seat below you.
And there's that word RELAX. Consciously in your mind is the word RELAX, way, way out in the past... just in the past... and right behind your forehead.
And all the muscles of your face now... the muscles of your lips, your cheeks, and your forehead, just let them fall toward the ground and your stomach.
And your chest... once again, your chest just relaxed, and now your back, and your complete right arm and the fingers of your right hand. And if there's any part of your body that's not completely relaxed already, it soon will
be.
You may be surprised to see how relaxed you are already. That may come as a surprise to you... and as I said, if there's any part of your body that's not yet
relaxed, it soon will be. And if there's any part of your body that's not feeling as comfortable as it might, concentrate on that part of the body for the next few seconds... just think of it... and send all the endorphins* of
the brain down in that area. Consciously be aware of any part of your body that's not as comfortable as it might be.
And now all the muscles and sinews and tendons of your left arm and your left hand and the fingers of your left hand completely relax. And all the muscles of
your neck and your shoulders and your chest and your buttocks and the whole pelvic area now... Think about the whole pelvic area... once again your face... and your head...And if my voice drifts away, that's fine, just as long
as you're sitting back comfortably and relaxing.
Many things are changing in your body, all of which are normal and wonderful, just through your relaxation.
And now, perhaps, if you want to, you'll see yourself at the top of a flight of ten steps going down. You've been at the top of stairs before, and you will be
again. So this is completely familiar to you. This is a time when you can just put your trust in the world. You will never be out of control in any way. You can trust... like you did when you were a very, very little person.
And everything is going to turn out exactly as you want it to. We're going to walk down these steps together, if you want to, and with every step down you take, you're going to relax just a little bit more.
And now, if you will, you can take the first step down... and you've taken one step down, and you have nine to go. And with every step down, you relax just a
little bit more. And any noise you hear will serve to relax you just a little bit more.
And way, way out in the future, and way, way back in the past, and right behind your forehead is that word RELAX.
And now, you take another step down.
And with every step down you relax just a little bit more, and now you have taken two steps down, and you have eight steps to go.... and take another step down... relaxing just a little bit more with every step you go down. And feel that relaxation in your body...you may be surprised at how relaxed you feel already. And now take another step down, and that's four steps down, and you have six to go. This is a time for relaxation. It's not necessary for you to go to sleep, but if you want to, that's fine. If it happens, that's fine; or if your mind drifts away, that's fine. Nothing that you do is wrong.
Take one more step down. And now you're halfway down the stairs... You have five more steps to go... and you take another step down. And see yourself,
consciously see yourself on the sixth step down, and how comfortable you feel, and how secure you feel, and how trusting you feel.
And now another step down... and now you've taken seven steps down and you have three to go. And there's that word RELAX shining way, way out in the heavens and behind your forehead at the same time...and you take another step down...and you've taken eight steps and you have two more to go. And now one more step... and you've taken nine steps down and you have one to go... and now take that last step down, and you're all the way down to the bottom of the stairs. And you may be surprised at how relaxed you really are.
And now, if you want to, and it's easy for you to do... perhaps you can see yourself on a lovely, lovely, warm, comfortable beach.
And way out in front of you is a calm, calm, very blue ocean. Very calm and very blue. And see if you can smell what the ocean smells like. Really try to smell it. Be there. And the sun is just beating down on your body in a way that can't hurt you under any circumstances... and feel the cool breeze over your body and how comfortable that feels. And hear the ocean lapping on the shore. Listen to what it sounds like. And underneath your feet is the warm sand, just the right temperature, the way you like it best. And behind you is an enormous beach, friendly and protective and just wonderful.
And now, while you're standing there, perhaps you can see yourself as a very, very little person at a time when you were very happy, very content, and very
secure. And feel that happiness, and feel that security, and feel that carefree feeling, and know that that's you...And remember that any noise you hear will just relax you further. And you can call back this feeling of
happiness and contentment any time you want to... it's your feeling and it's your memory. The only one in the world who has that memory is you.
And now, if you want to, see yourself standing on the beach once again, as an adult... And now, if you want to, knowing that there's a large, comfortable beach
towel on the beach to guard your head, see yourself lie down on your back and feel how secure the ground is under you, holding your calves and your backside and your shoulders and your head. Feel how secure that is.
And now, perhaps you'll see yourself surrounded by a lovely golden light.
It covers every inch of your body while all the normal functions go on... you breathe very normally and your pores are open, and every normal function goes on. And that lovely, lovely golden light is a combination of all of the healing power of the universe, and all of the healing power of your own body, and all of the healing power of any medication you're taking or radiation you're receiving, or anything you're taking... and that golden light can go anyplace you tell it to.
And now, if you want to, see that part of your body that is not exactly as you want it to be. And direct that golden light to go to that part of your
body and surround that area or areas. And know that the golden light surrounding the part of your body that is not as healthy as you want it to be, combines all of the healing power of the universe, and all of the healing
power in your body, and all of the healing power of any medication that you're taking. It's an extraordinarily powerful elixir. And any cancer cells that are there are weak and erratic cells and easily defeated. And you
can tell the golden light to crush any cancer cells, and to diminish any tumor... and to do anything you want it to do... and it's a powerful, vital, vigorous force and the cancer cells are weak and erratic.
Consciously see the golden light surrounding all of the area where your body is not in the condition you want it to be.
And notice...notice how it can bring the endorphins of your brain down into that area and soothe any pain... and help to alleviate any problem that's going on in your body. And tell that golden light to do what you want it to do. It is your golden light. It is going to go where you want it to. And by telling it where you want it to go, you can take some charge of your body.
And now, I'm going to be quiet for a minute or two, and while I'm quiet, perhaps you'll want to continue to think about that golden light doing all the things
you want it to do. I'm going to be quiet starting now.
[pause 60 seconds]
And now, with that golden light still within you... that powerful, vigorous, vital golden light still within you, that golden light that combines all of the
power of the universe and of your body, and of any medication or radiation or anything else you're taking... with all of that still within you... and completely at your command... from now and forever... perhaps you'll see
yourself stand up on the beach. And as you stand on the beach if you want to... visualize yourself without any physical problem whatsoever, and see what feeling comes over you without any physical problem
whatsoever. And know that that's your feeling and that you can call on that feeling at any time. You can call on that feeling, or you can call on the golden light, or you can call on the feeling of security at any
time without interfering in any way with all of the things that you're doing.
And now perhaps, if you'd like, see yourself at the bottom of the same flight of stairs you just came down, and we’ll walk up those stairs together. When you
reach the top of the stairs, you will be back at a place where you started, feeling completely alert, at least as well as you felt when we started, and most likely much better...and take the first step up. And now the
second step up [speak slowly here] ...and the third, and the fourth, and the fifth... and you're halfway up... and when you reach the tenth step, you'll be back in the place where you started, feeling completely alert and at
least as well as you felt when you started and, perhaps and most likely, much better.
And now you can open your eyes at any time. And now, take the next step up, and you're back at the place where you started... feeling completely alert
and at least as well as you felt when you started, and most likely much better... and you can open your eyes at any time.

Guided Imagery Meditation Script 3

Chapter 4: The Attack of the Good Guys
This imagery session assumes a more aggressive nature. Many people object to anything other than peaceful images. A cemetery is
the ultimate in peacefulness but this is what we are working to avoid. The author was once asked by a psychiatrist during the course of a symposium, just how he could justify killing living organisms (cancer
cells). The author, after pausing to reflect, replied with another question, "Have you ever had cancer?" When the answer came back,
"No", then "I thought not" was the only reply made but it ended the discussion. One of the worst attributes of the Cancer Wars is an enemy that executes POWs. Before a patient gives up on hope and
surrenders the battle to someone else, it should be well recognized that humane treatment under the Geneva Convention will not be an outcome. As one goes through this exercise, the characteristics of
the immune system should be uppermost in subconscious thought. Again, after going to the alpha state, we will this time involve the use of lights to illuminate and awaken the immune system as well as
to expose the muddy footprints (antigen) of the invaders. This hand to hand combat will be pressed until the battle is over and the invaders are destroyed. Picture perfect health is the desired outcome
and the subconscious will be given the task of achieving this through effective use of the immune system.
Again, make yourself comfortable. Loosen restrictive clothing, remove glasses and assume a relaxed posture, preferably an easy
chair of even in bed. Begin to breathe as deeply as you comfortably can. With each intake of breath, imagine breathing in peace while you breathe out stress. Breath in healing, breathe out disease. Now
let a feeling of relaxation begin at the top of your head. As you relax, begin to feel the relaxation flow down through your body. Relax your jaw muscles and allow your jaw to open slightly, releasing the
tensions that build up in the jaw. As you allow the relaxation to flow down through your body, begin the relaxation countdown starting with 10 and counting slowly down. As you reach the number five,
affirm that you are relaxing deeper and deeper as you go on to the alpha state when you reach number one. As you mentally reach the number one, just affirm to yourself that you are now at the deepest
state of relaxation, the alpha state. You will use this state for the purpose of achieving picture perfect health.
Allow the relaxation to continue. Feel the breath rush in and out. As you breathe in, imagine the healing breath going to all the right
places to achieve just the right result. Allow your body and thoughts to wind down to a peaceful state. Wind down, wind down, wind down. Acknowledge that there will be noises reach you from the
surroundings. After you have acknowledged these normal sounds, just send them out with the breath and order them not to intrude on the substantive thoughts of the exercise.
Suddenly, you are aware of the presence of a warm, golden light, glowing in the space just above your head. Just relax and take
comfort in the presence of this light as it begins to slowly descends through your scalp and begins to illuminate your body, within and without with the warm glow of healing. Allow the glow to descend
downward through your body, bathing your bloodstream and all organs with this most intelligent, healing light. As the glow proceeds downward through the chest and abdomen, the lungs, kidneys and
all other organs are illuminated. Cancer cells come under the influence of this intelligent light. Antigens, the muddy footprints that identify the cancer cells as an enemy, stand out and glare, caught in
the stream of the healing light, for all the immune agents to see. The light knows just what to do and just how to do it as it proceeds to the very soles of your feet. Now you find yourself bathed in this
warm and comforting light. You are fully relaxed and for a few precious moments your mind is empty and you are blessed with stillness and picture perfect health. Just imagine your mind as a lake
with no ripples and this blessed stillness permeates your entire being, body and soul. Gone are the stresses of the day and the anxieties of the mind – sent out with the breath never to return as
you just reject disease. From this moment on, the intelligent light knows just what to do and just how to do it without any instruction from you. Just allow the healing process to continue on its own with
no more instructions than you give to your heart to beat and your lungs to breathe. Now become aware of an intense light glowing from within your body. This is a response to intruders that have
come uninvited into the warm hospitality of your body. Now you have accessed the body/mind communication and are about to experience its wonders.
Practice shining the beam of light. Do this until you become accustomed to it, knowing that it already knows just what to; do and
just how to do it. Sometimes this is easier to do than others, just allow it to happen. As the light continues, your immune system in heightened and on the alert. Trust in it to know just what to do and
just how to do it. The immune journey begins in the marrow of the bones. Practice shining the light deep into the middle of a long bone such as the leg. This is the birthing center for all the blood. Billions
upon billions are continually being generated to replenish, nurture and protect your body from the ravages of invaders. Just repeat these words – to nurture and protect. Spend a few moments in
gratitude for these faithful warriors who continually nurture and protect you. Each cell has a specific job to do in this nurturing and protecting process and they have names. These names you have
already studied. Now we repeat them as we send them into action: neutraphils, macrophages, T-cells, B-cells and natural killer cells. The neutraphils attack the enemy from the bloodstream. Active and alert,
energized by the light, they move by the millions to attack and destroy the invaders. Sensing the enemy, they attach themselves to the sticky walls of blood vessels. There they change their shape just
enough to slither through the vessel wall to enter the tissue. There they encounter and surround the enemy, penetrating the wall of the enemy cell and spraying it with caustic chemical, enzymes, in a
chemical warfare attack. The poorly organized cancer cell cannot orchestrate a defense mechanism and is unable to repair the damage its cellular wall. It is shut down forever. Shut down forever!
The macrophages, the giant eaters, have lived in your body for years knowing you and loving you, waiting for the call to arms to repel the
enemy. They enter into the tissue and press the attack by joining ranks with each other and marching in flank formation to the attack. These giants actually ingest all or portions of the cancer cells. They
chew up and process the antigen from the cancer cell and hold it up as a tattered flag for all to see and recognize the antigen on the enemy cell. The attack of the macrophage leaves the tumor cell
shattered and unable to repair itself. Those fragments that are not actually eaten are washed away in the feces and urine, never to return. Washed away. Spend a little time with this image. Remember
that the macrophage did not need your verbal instructions once it recognized the antigen of an intruder. It knew just what to do and just how to do it.
Take a moment now to place the open palm of one hand over your breastbone, just below your neck. This is the location of the combat
intelligence-targeting center for your T-cells, which is the thymus gland. Place the other palm over the region of the Payer’s Patches, in the area of the skin just below the belly button. These are the
immune intelligence centers that send out billions upon billions of cells, T-lymphocytes, with specific instructions to attack the identified intruders. Feel a sense of gratitude for the two lobed thymus and the
little sacs of Payer’s Patches for their watchfulness as they send out billions of highly trained and intelligent cells to protect you from any and all intruders. These fearless T-cells attack with relentless ferocity,
penetrating the cell wall like a sharp bayonet under the thrust of a master warrior. Wearing the enemy thin, they can multiply themselves to provide an endless number of reinforcements. Never
far away are the B-cells. This dedicated Reconnaissance Corp is continually identifying the enemy and calling down fire from the warrior T-cells. Dedicated and purposeful, these keenly intelligent
cells know just how to dispose of the poorly organized, lumbering cancer cells. Just keep using the light to illuminate the battlefield. Allow the action to attract the attention of the Natural Killer cells that
are constantly patrolling for enemy agents. These instinctive killers attack and penetrate the helpless cancer cell wall and inject it with deadly perforin, causing the cell to literally come apart, shutting it
down forever. Shutting it down forever. Just allow yourself to bask in radiant appreciation for these highly intelligent warriors that know to respect your own cells while wrecking havoc on the invaders.
Finally, just imagine one of these cells holding aloft a shattered fragment of a defeated cancer cell as a signal to the others that the battle is over and you have won. The battle is over and you have
won. Now as your defensive army withdraws to await the next call to arms, you are blessed with a newly found appreciation for the wisdom of your body and you are blessed with picture perfect health.
Now as the healing white light begins to diminish, become aware of another glow starting to permeate your body. This is the healing
green glow of perfect health. This life giving green, like the evergreen trees of the forest, sends a reminder throughout your body to all the cells that your are blessed with stillness and picture
perfect health. Imagine the beautiful colors that exist in nature. These remind us that the intent of the human body is for health and the absence of disease. This is your time, your healing time, and you
should just take this time now to reject disease and imagine future events wherein you are an active participant in picture perfect health. Once again approach the lake with no ripples. This time pause to
look at your reflection and see that you are indeed blessed with picture perfect health and a future filled with those events that illuminate and enrich our lives. This has been your time, your
healing time and you should trust in the experience. As you repeat these exercises, you may find that sometimes it takes a long time and sometimes no time at all. Just allow the experience to develop,
as it will, knowing that in the mind/body relationship, you have the means necessary to initiate the response of Mind Activated Antigen Recognition. Once this recognition occurs, the good guys of the
human immune system know just what to do and just how to do it. Now take some time to reflect on what has been done in this session and, as the subconscious mind allows the conscious mind to drift up
to waking awareness, affirm to yourself that you are healed. And you are healed.
This exercise is easily adaptable to use while undergoing treatment. Whatever the treatment it can participate visually in a modification of
the above regimen. One could, for example, think of Interleukin2, in the militaristic program as being an airborne drop behind enemy lines to harass further harass them and initiate killing on another
front. A radiation beam is another example of a potent, intelligent beam of light attacking the enemy. This concept of an intelligent beam of light is perfectly valid in this age of encoded laser beams
and digital signals. These coded beams are routinely used to carry out various commands. It is used in this context to instruct cells, equipped, as we now know with neuron receptors, to carry out
objectives that are achievable by the elements of the immune system. We are merely asking the routine, not the impossible of our immune system. Do not be concerned if you go to sleep while
listening to a tape of this exercise. The subconscious is readily accessed while sleeping and this is the one we want to reach. Of course, do not attempt to listen to such a tape while operating
machinery or any other activity that requires your attention for safety. Falling asleep at the wheel of a car would most likely result in physiological problems that the immune system would be hard pressed to handle.
