PreEmptive Healing – A Guided Meditation
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Dr. Anthony J DeMarco believes that patients deserve more than just a “What to expect in terms of your physical experience” speech from your medical provider. Patients need to know that they have the power to impact the outcome of their medical experience. PreEmptive Healing helps patients better prepare for their upcoming medical procedure and significantly impacts their healing potential.
To help you with this transforming process, Dr. DeMarco has created an audio guide titled PreEmptive Healing. The guide is divided into three parts:
Part 1. The promise and benefits of PreEmptive Healing
Part 2. How to strengthen the relationships with the important people in your life.
Part 3. A guided meditation to help you relax and to prepare yourself both physically and mentally for your upcoming procedure.
PreEmptive Healing will integrate your mind and body–through music, words and visualizations–and will empower you to lower any fears and anxieties you may be experiencing prior to your procedure. Through this preparation, you can empower your mind and body to begin healing prior to the procedure, in other words, to begin “PreEmptive Healing.” Our promise to you is that we will help prepare you for your procedure, regardless of its complexity.
Here is the science behind this approach. First, it is importantto understand that blood flow is essential for healing. When blood flow is constricted (squeezed), healing potential is significantly decreased. High blood pressure constricts the blood vessels in your body. So, the goal is to reduce blood pressure prior to and during your surgical procedure. This is difficult for most people because anxiety and fear about the procedure cause high blood pressure.
The PreEmptive Healing audio guide will lower your anxiety and fear. By lowering fear and anxiety, you will lower your adrenalin or, in medical terms, reduce your sympathetic outflow. By lowering your sympathetic outflow, you will lower your heart rate and blood pressure. When this happens, blood flow throughout your body increases. With increased blood flow comes improved healing. Invest in your recovery by treating yourself to the PreEmptive Healing audio guide.
