Visualisation will not get rid of your pain completely or permanently but it should give you a ‘time out’ period where you can use your imagination to create mental images that blot out your pain.
You may focus on your pain by imagining that you are in an open field on a warm sunny day. Just beside you is a helium-filled balloon with a large basket attached. You imagine that you load up the basket with all your pain and discomfort. The balloon now slowly rises up in the air and floats away, taking with it the basket loaded with your pain.
You may focus on your endometriosis by imagining that the endometriosis cells in your body are being invaded by your body’s natural defenders, an array of white blood cells. The white cells destroy the unwanted endometriosis cells and you can visualise your organs healthy once again.
These images may also focus on yourself. You may like to imagine yourself in surroundings that give you enormous pleasure. For example, you may visualise yourself on a tropical island, peacefully lying on the warm golden sands while palm trees gently sway in the breeze and the waves quietly lap onto the shore.
You may like to imagine yourself walking through a field early in the morning, the lush green grass still glistening in the sun from the morning dew. You notice the deep blue sky dotted with wispy white clouds, the golden sun sending forth its warming rays and the spring flowers showing forth a multitude of colours. You then enter a cool dark forest, which feels refreshing after the warm sun. Here you may rest a while, taking in the peace and tranquillity of your surroundings, before returning to reality.
