Reduce uncomfortable stomach bloating with this meditation by a British Clinical Psychologist. This meditation for bloating will gently guide you into slowing down your breath and your thoughts to alleviate digestive discomfort.
This guided meditation is designed to help you relax and ease the discomfort of bloating.You’ll start by focusing on diaphragmatic breathing and then move on to visualizing a soothing light that will help you release any tension in your body. You’ll be guided to imagine the link between your gut and your brain and find out the secret to strengthening this connection.
Bloating can be a natural process of digestion, often caused by gas or constipation. But any new or prolonged bloating should be assessed by a medical doctor. It's good to be aware of your symptoms, but never try to self-diagnose.
Relaxation training is one method to help soothe the interplay between stress and gut health, often recommended to those with irritable bowel syndrome. Experts are not yet sure how the brain influences sensations in the gut. But in 2021, the American College of Gastroenterology recommended that gut-directed psychotherapies, such as gut-directed hypnotherapy, may be used to treat global IBS symptoms.
This meditation uses guided imagery for healing your gut. Guided imagery is a psychological technique used to relive stress and use the power of your mind to influence your gut and your overall health. In guided imagery, you use your imagination to think about things like objects, places, or things happening that make you feel relaxed or calm. But in this meditation, as in gut-directed hypnotherapy, you imagine your gut as calm and healthy.
This is especially for those of you that don't want to use hypnotherapy, but instead prefer to feel more in control. Complementary therapies are helpful in combination with and alongside whatever is recommended by your doctor, not as a replacement.
Be well, be calm,
❤ Clare

I research, write, narrate and edit free Guided Meditation videos for people who are suffering with chronic illnesses. I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2004 but started creating relaxation resources for my clinical clients even before that (using a tape recorder 🖭).
