Using guided meditation can be a very beneficial way for patients to prepare for an impending surgical procedure. By visiting a guided imagery therapist or purchasing a guided imagery product to use at home it is possible to try and focus energy on the area of pain, for instance if it is heart surgery then on the heart and heart valves, imagining the body accepting the power of the therapy and it’s reaction is one of healing. The main benefits of using guided meditation in this respect is that it can decrease discomfort before the surgery takes places, this can be very relieving for people that are on a long waiting list. Whereby it doesn’t mean that surgery is not necessary, using guided imagery meditation can genuinely reduce painful symptoms and be a positive platform for successful surgery.
