Today, I want to briefly summarize what I have found to be helpful with meditation when it comes to medication withdrawal. My goal is to provide a resource that can help patients have an easier withdrawal process.
Have a great week. Enjoy!
How to Support Medication Withdrawal Through Meditation
"Am I doing it right?"
Since meditation can be as varied as the thoughts we use or clear from our minds, people are rightfully confused as to what it is and how to do it "properly." To help answer some of my patients' concerns about meditation, I want to share a wonderful article that summarizes important aspects of meditation and its many health benefits:
This Simple Guide Will Teach You How to Meditate, Even When Your Mind Wanders
However, I have also forwarded to many patients these meditations posted on Youtube to help support medication withdrawal:
Heart Coherence Guided Meditation Dr. Joe Dispenza (in the mornings)
Gratitude Guided Meditation for Positive Energy | Experience more Joy, Happiness, Love & Abundance (in the evenings)
When it comes to gathering and creating positive energy, however, I ask my patients to listen to my recorded 1-3 minute meditation called Energy Breaths. It's like my "multivitamin meditation."
All of these meditations help with medication withdrawal because they calm down the nervous system and bring positive energy into your life.
Beyond these meditations, I ask my patients to do the EET + Logosynthesis technique, using either one of the following statements inserted into the "___" space in the technique's template:
Any remaining co-dependent reactions of my body that keep my medications at a homeostatic dose, which interfere with my ability to safely, easily, and optimally adapt to the scheduled tapering of my medications on my regimen this week.
co-dependent reactions of my body that keep (the medication) at a homeostatic dose which interfere with my ability to safely, gradually, and optimally taper down on (the medication) to (specific dose) by (specific date).
Then, I follow it with the Ask and Receive technique, using the same statements inserted into the "___" space in the template.
Usually, I will do the EET + Logosynthesis and Ask and Receive techniques with the patient during their session and then ask the patient to repeat it again over the following week at least once more.
When I do these energy medicine techniques with my patients, we often find ourselves yawning and tearing up. This suggests to me that there are energetic shifts related to unblocking energy flow or detoxification occurring during the process.
However, a successful withdrawal still depends on the resolution of underlying causes and support of nutritional status. These functional aspects of treatment provide the necessary building blocks for the body to follow the directions provided through these energy techniques.
So, it's not guaranteed that just because a person does the energy work that the withdrawal will be stress-free. In general, however, the withdrawals are definitely more efficient and easier.
Hope this helps. Have a wonderful week!
