Are they causing pain, nausea, discomfort, general digestive malfunction?<\/p>\n<p>Sit comfortably in a quiet place. \u00a0Turn on some quiet music and breathe from your abdomen for 1-2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Now, begin to focus on your stomach. \u00a0Ask your stomach how it feels.<\/p>\n<p>Give your stomach an opportunity to:<\/p>\n<p>RELEASE attack, control, despair, fear, pain, stress, worry.<\/p>\n<p>CLEAR OUT all negative memories, experiences, feelings.<\/p>\n<p>DISCARD anger and frustration.<\/p>\n<p>EMBRACE calm, focus, well-being, positive outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Experiencing this release, clearing, and embrace for 1-2 minutes. \u00a0Now, \u00a0begin to move your body slowly as you end the meditation.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat this short meditation whenever you experience stomach upset.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading this blog\/book.<\/p>\n<p>Please refer this article \u00a0to your preferred social media network.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you found this post helpful. \u00a0Please leave your comments below and check out other articles.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to join the email list.<\/p>\n<p>Peace and food for all.<\/p>\n<p>Thurman Greco<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stomach is the principal digestive organ. \u00a0 \u00a0It also \u00a0receives much abuse: \u00a0receiving improperly chewed food, receiving too much food, being knotted from tension.
