Rewiring through the Right Type of Meditation
As you go forward along this recovery journey, there are powerful tools you will discover to help you rewire and rebalance your system in the first phase of healing. One of the tools that can help begin to transform your life is listening to this particular type of meditations, designed for chronic illness recovery. When you combine this specific type of meditation with other tools I share, like Energy Cycling, you find that you have started to create a foundation of stability in yourself.
The meditations on this page have been tried and tested on myself and on people I have helped, and you will find they begin to support the regulation your autonomic nervous system in a short time of using them.
There are many different types of meditations in the world, but these ones are for people with chronic health conditions who wish to rewire their brains and bodies for coming out of Fight, Fight, Freeze and moving into the parasympathetic mode.
As you know, most people with chronic complex conditions are not getting the benefit of good sleep or decent rest, so the added benefit of taking time out of activities to listen to one of these meditations is a way of restoring your energy and moving into harmony.
What to do
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MEDITATE You can sit or lie down. You don't have to do anything. You don't have to try. You don't have to "get it". Just be there. Just listen.
Note: If you cannot sit or lie down at the moment and you believe you cannot meditate, see the bottom of this page.
Amari Introduces Meditation
Rewiring Your Mind
💗 This resource is especially for you💗
Meditation it might be something you tried which didn’t help in the past. Perhaps you have already spent a long time on this healing journey, and don’t want to try meditation as a tool. So many people feel that way whilst on the path to recovery. It’s so natural as it’s deeply connected to the fight, flight, freeze nervous system that keeps us very actively searching, and not keen to slow down even for a moment. Even trying one of these meditations is a great step forward, and so thank you for being here. I know how hard it is to keep an open mind.
With meditation, it has to be the right type as healing from chronic conditions is not simple. I am not saying that meditation is a cure nor is there any ‘quick fix’, but it can really help when used with the other tools and techniques.
You will find that it is possible to take steps towards recovery with the tools on this website, (including the meditations) for creating resilience and stability – and that this will give you a foundation to build on.
Notice what makes you feel soothed as you listen to a meditation. That is what occurs as meditations begin to help rewire your mind and reset your ANS, so see if any of these ones resonate for you.
Taking this new step forward does mean taking a little pause (temporarily, and just for a minute or two to start with!)
I know it’s difficult to do that, and so I invite you to see if you can embrace this moment as a potential turning point where you actively choose to have some moments of the day turn away from urgency, away from the stress of searching and away from the “fight” to survive… and towards peacefulness, towards restoring harmony.
💗 The ones by me were created especially for you 💗
Try one to begin with. No rush to do loads… you can try out different ones on different days to see if any or some feel soothing. If you fall asleep during a meditation, that’s completely okay. In fact, there is no wrong experience to have.
The Meditations
The idea is that you will come to enjoy these meditations, and start to listen regularly.
If you prefer one of these voices or styles over another, go with that. These experiences are supposed to become a pleasure for you, so allow yourself to be guided by what you like. No need for much variety. You could listen to the same one every time – as long as it gives you some peaceful moments or a sense of soothing.

Note on other Types of Meditations
You may have already looked into or tried to meditate for healing. So I would like to help you see that the scope of Meditations is a huge arena, and we really need to specifically use the right ones for a chronic condition to get any benefit.
There are many types of meditations: from Yoga Nidra and Chakra Healing to Vision quests and trance meditations with hypnosis and strong sound healing. Many of these are very disruptive for someone with a chronic complex condition.
Some meditations (not the ones here!) can increase a state of numbness or freeze, and can make the individual disassociate. So, I do recommend these particular ones for you to try to begin with.
For this healing journey, it is very specific what is needed at each different phase of the recovery path. This is why I have put this page here for you 💗
The restful meditations here are specifically chosen to be the ones that can help you start to regulate your ANS and rewire your brain, restoring your energy and beginning your journey to full health.
