What if peace could be practiced like a skill and measured in the body as less pain, fewer meds, and faster recovery? We sit down with psychotherapist and mind-body medicine pioneer Peggy Huddleston to unpack her proven five-step method for preparing for surgery—and for any health challenge that asks you to meet fear with focus. Peggy explains how a daily 25-minute relaxation practice guides you into a calm brain state, where you can plant clear end results and let your nervous system re-learn safety. From there, we build a “blanket of love” with friends and family, and coordinate simple, legally supported healing statements with the anesthesia team to lower anxiety, nausea, and length of stay.
Peggy’s stories bring the science to life: anxious patients becoming centered, bone growth accelerating enough to cancel a planned graft, and major hospitals adopting the approach because outcomes improve. We talk psychoneuroimmunology, vagus nerve regulation, and why intention is more than wishful thinking—it’s a way to speak to the subconscious when it’s most receptive. You’ll also hear from Carolyn and Darcy, who practiced the steps before a significant surgery. Twice-daily relaxation, clear visualization, and community support helped turn a daunting day into a “textbook perfect” operation and a smoother recovery.
This is a warm, practical guide for anyone facing surgery, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to heal with more agency. You’ll leave with tools you can use today: a structure for visualization, the exact timing for community support, and the language to request healing statements in the OR. If this conversation helps you or someone you love, share it with a friend, follow Sacred Soul Sisters, and leave a review so more people can find these healing practices.
