Guided Meditation for People Undergoing Surgery

Guided meditation can help you reduce the stress and anxiety of undergoing surgery and support your recovery process. If you are planning to undergo surgery, we encourage you to take some time for yourself and join Mary Ann Fernandez, a certified yoga and meditation instructor, on these guided meditation sessions.

Before Surgery This 15-minute recording will help you relax prior to your surgery. You can listen in the days and weeks leading up to your surgery or while in the pre-op area. After Surgery This 5-minute recording will support you in the recov- ery process. Listen in the recovery room or inpatient hospital bed, or in the days after your surgery.

Important: Do not listen to these recordings while driving or at other times when you need to remain alert. The information in these recordings is not intended to replace any instructions or information provided by your own sur- geon or other healthcare professional.
