The journey of self healing is a holistic one that encompasses the body, mind and soul. Each of these areas is connected to the other and healing each one will have a positive impact on the others.
Inner wounds that are buried for too long can turn a person into someone who cannot get along with others, or is just very selfish. They often retaliate for every perceived slight.
Physical
The physical self healing process is all about recognizing and learning to care for the body. This includes incorporating wellness habits like eating right, exercising regularly and practicing mindfulness. It also involves releasing patterns that no longer serve you such as workaholism, over-indulging in alcohol or putting your health last.
Ancient teachings and modern science increasingly agree: your body, mind and emotions are one integrated system. So, influencing any aspect of your being will impact the whole.
A healthy lifestyle and resilient mindset can save you on medical bills and prescription medications. But, the most important part of healing is learning to tune into your body’s natural self-healing mechanism. It’s a simple process that can begin with small changes to your daily routine. These can include replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, getting enough sleep and reducing stress and anxiety. As your energy improves you’ll experience more balance and harmony physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Emotional
Emotional healing involves addressing the negative emotional blockages that prevent you from living a happy and fulfilling life. These may include feelings of insecurity, low self-esteem, bad relationship patterns, a difficult time forgiving others, and a general feeling of being unsatisfied and disconnected.
When you’re emotionally healed, you’re able to let go of the past and move on with your life. You’re also able to handle stress and other emotions more effectively. This can lead to improved physical health, a better outlook on life, and stronger connections with others.
This process can be challenging, but it’s important to seek support from a trusted support system. This may include family members, friends, or a therapist. In addition, it’s important to learn coping skills to deal with painful experiences. Be sure to pay attention to your feelings and observe the positive cues they provide. In addition, it’s important to honor your pain and express it freely without judging yourself.
Mental
Healing the mind can be done through prayer, meditation and self-hypnosis. This involves focusing on positive things about your life and believing that you can heal yourself. These practices help to create a deeper sense of relaxation, which is necessary for the physical and emotional self-healing process.
Inner wounds that are left unchecked can cause people to cry easily, get offended by small words and become angry over trivial things. If this is a regular occurrence for you, it is a sign that you need to start healing your emotions.
Developing healthy relationships with people who support your goals and make you feel good can be beneficial to the healing process. This can include joining a healing circle and participating in group activities that promote health. Cultivating gratitude is also an important aspect of mental self healing. This includes being thankful for your daily successes, the people who love and support you and the fact that you are alive.
Spiritual
In spiritual healing, the theory is that physical ailments, minor and major, can be relieved through modern medicine and surgery, but unless the underlying cause — a lack of self-worth or unresolved emotional disturbances — is treated, the patient will continue to suffer. Many psychologists and therapists now include spiritual healing in their practice.
Meditation, self-hypnosis and prayer are examples of spiritual healing techniques. They create deep relaxation states that rebalance the body and mind. Stress is the root of most health problems. In a deeply relaxed state, negative thoughts that can lead to pessimistic attitudes and despair disappear.
A spiritual approach can also include acknowledging the interconnection of all living things. This recognition of oneness is found in various ways in religious traditions as well as in spheres such as ecology, biology and global economics. Ancient teachings and modern science increasingly confirm that the physical, mental and emotions are part of one integrated system. When one aspect of the system is changed, it influences all the others.
