Guided Imagery Meditation (very long.. story and instruction)
One night after I went to bed, I just randomly picked up a book to look at while I waited to see if sleepiness would come. The book was one by Dr. Andrew Weil, of which I have several and have had these books for quite a while. I often do this... select a book at random and just open it anywhere, or thumb through it until something catches my eye. And something did.

Dr. Weil wrote about his wife who was pregnant with her fourth child and she always had painful backaches in her last two months of pregnancy. This caught my eye, as I have terrible backaches that make it difficult to stand for too long... I always thought it was related to my bad leg that was injured in a car accident 17 years ago.

Dr. Weil said that he and his wife met up with a friend of friend who was an expert at guided meditation and she asked Mrs. Weil if she would like her to help with her back problem. Mrs. Weil insisted that it was a disk problem and meditation wasn't going to fix a mechanical problem. She then asked if she would like to "talk" to her unborn baby. Mrs. Weil said yes. The woman, I believe her name was Sally, helped Mrs. Weil through relaxing exercises and guided imagery to a light form of hypnosis. She her led to a "safe" place in her subconscious. And then Sally invited her to go to the spot in her body where the baby was. What did she want to ask her? Mrs. Weil wanted to ask the baby if she would come on time, so that the baby's father (Dr. Weil) could be present as he was leaving to go out of the country just a few days after her due date. She also asked the baby to please make the labor short and the delivery quick. Sally asked her, 'what did the baby say?' Mrs. Weil was startled and said, "she said she would". 8 weeks later, a baby girl was born right on her due date and the birth only took two hours. Coincidence? Maybe, but I don't think so. After the conversation with her baby, Sally asked Mrs. Weil if she was ready to work on her back pain now. This is when I really got interested.

Because Mrs. Weil was still in her subconscious safe place, Sally
instructed her to visit the part of her body where her pain was. What did she see, Sally asked her? Mrs. Weil said, 'there is a large black spot'.

Sally told her to talk to the spot. What do you need? A voice/feeling/intuition told her... "warm moist towels". "Will you go away?" The pain answered yes. Mrs. Weil was amazed... she said she always used cold packs on her
