This meditation is for constipation relief to help ease uncomfortable bloating using guided imagery. Most constipation is temporary and it refers to infrequent bowel movements, difficulty pooping, inability to completely empty the bowel, or the passing of small/hard stool. It accompanies Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C).
When your belly is bloated from infrequent bowel movements, this meditation can guide you through relaxation to help ease your pain.If you want to use guided imagery to assist in your healing from constipation, this meditation is written and created just for you. I chose to make this after a few requests and also hearing that some of you use my meditations while sitting on the toilet 💩🚽.
If you're struggling with constipation, I know you're looking for relief in a non-medicated way, but always follow your doctor's guidance. Relaxation exercises such as this guided imagery can help in addition to professional medical advice. Here on the Generation Calm channel, I believe that stress management deserves a seat at the doctors table and these meditations are meant to arm you with the extra resources and tools to empower your healing journey and keep you more in control of your symptoms.
A medical diagnosis is important. Please do not be embarrassed to talk about it with your doctor. Chronic constipation is one of the IBS symptoms and along with the infrequent bowel movements, there can be accompanying abdominal pain and abdominal bloating. But there might be other reasons too. Keep a daily diary of your bowel movements and general lifestyle habits as normal bowel habits vary from person to person and what stage you’re going through.
Extra tips:
• While sitting on the toilet, put a stool under your feet (like a squatty potty) so you're in the perfect position for a good poo.
• Relax your pelvic floor muscles to the best of your ability. Straining is tempting, but try to do the opposite.
• Take the time to poop when you feel the urge.
• Increase your fiber intake (under the directions of your doctor).
• Increase your level of physical activity.
• Be sure to drink enough during the day, preferably water.
• Do not use crash diets as it will mess with your digestive system.
• Do not try to self-diagnose chronic constipation, please see your physician.
• Try self-massage for your belly in a clockwise direction.
• Chew your food thoroughly and eat mindfully.
• Drinking coffee may stimulate your need for a bowel movement.
I hope this meditation provides you with some relief. You might also like to use my pelvic floor meditation. As this is often tight in someone with constipation.
Find a quiet place to get comfortable (yes, the bathroom will work) follow my soft voice and allow your mind to conjure up the pleasant images I describe. It might take some practice to get used to the process.
Be well, be calm,
❤ Clare
