Self healing is an innate process of the body that promotes five body networks to return to equilibrium and relieve pain triggered by various triggers. It may be optimized and regulated by the use of multimodal integrative medicine approaches.
The research was conducted with semi-structured interviews with 15 participants (9 experts and 6 older adults). Content analysis was performed using an inductive approach.
1. Take Care of Yourself
Taking care of yourself means focusing on your physical, emotional and mental health. It also involves accepting yourself with compassion and kindness. This is one of the most important aspects of self healing, and it can help you break free from harmful patterns.
In the physical sense, self healing refers to the ability of your body to restore its natural balance after it is disturbed by illness or injury. This is similar to how a cut or scrape heals itself without the need for medical intervention.
Physical self healing can be achieved through diet and exercise, sleep and rest, stress management and meditation. It is also helpful to learn deep relaxation techniques, such as mindfulness, prayer, qigong and tai chi. This will help you relax and get rid of negative emotions. It is also a good idea to take part in healing circles, which have been used since ancient times to encourage self healing. Lastly, you should try to find time for spiritual practices, such as journaling and meditation.
2. Take Care of Your Relationships
Being in a relationship requires two people to work together. It also means that each person has to have their own passions, interests and goals outside of the relationship. Maintaining a healthy balance can promote mental health and help you feel better about yourself.
In addition, you may need to have some difficult conversations with your partner. Having honest and open communication enables you to make changes in the relationship. This can include admitting your mistakes and apologizing when you have done something wrong.
In some cases, you might find that your old wounds are disproportionately affecting your current relationships. You can try to change this by finding healthy, healing groups that support your personal well-being. These can be groups within your workplace, church or community organization. For example, you might join a book club or volunteer group that fosters open communication and positive relationships.
3. Take Care of Your Mind
As the saying goes, “You can’t help anyone else if you don’t put on your own oxygen mask first.” Taking care of yourself on a daily basis is important in all stages of life. However, when going through grief, self-care is especially essential.
Self-healing is a mind-body process. It requires both active and passive actions. Medicines, supplements, and exercise are important but are only support for your body’s natural ability to heal.
Meditation, guided imagery, yoga, and self-hypnosis are powerful mind tools to speed up the healing process. They can help you learn to relax, be more positive, and relieve anxiety or despair. It is also important to practice gratitude. Write down or talk to yourself about the things you’re thankful for, and remind yourself of them daily. This can help you avoid focusing on what you don’t have, which often contributes to low feelings. This can also help you move forward with your goals and dreams.
4. Take Care of Your Body
Caring for your body is a major part of self healing. This can include everything from eating healthy, exercise, and sleep to removing stress.
It is also important to listen to your body when it tells you something. Whether it is to rest, drink water, or take an extra vitamin, it is important to follow these signals.
It is also helpful to get in touch with your soul, spirit, energy (whatever you call it). This can be done through meditation, yoga, qigong or other practices that help you connect with yourself on an energetic level. The soul connection can impact both the mind and the body so this is an important aspect of self healing. Getting in touch with your soul can also be a powerful tool for releasing emotional trauma and pain. These emotional wounds can have a long lasting effect on your life. Heal these wounds to move forward and become the best version of yourself.
