Healing Oneself

Healing Oneself
By Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhD

Humans carry within themselves all aspects of healing. Your choices affect you more than you realize, and it is because of this that you tend to place responsibility for your wellness in the hands of others. As beneficial as regular visits to a healer can be, you have the power to heal yourself at will.

When you dedicate a day to the pursuit of wellness, you can relax and renew yourself in a nourishing and comfortable environment. A sincere desire to open yourself to the highest potential of your physical and spiritual self is the key to self-healing so that healing energy can flow into you unimpeded.

Self-healing is as important as hygiene. Self-healing addresses the vital needs of the self as a whole while directing healing energy where it is needed most. The following strategies set the tone and foundation for a well-balanced healing experience.

• It is important to set the intention of-self healing—a specific time each day—that you are dedicating to healing yourself.
• Solitude is an important part of the process. Take refuge in a space that is both beautiful and peaceful. Include flowers, candlelight, incense, and music to help guide your focus toward a more tranquil state.
• Listen to music through headphones for a more intense experience, since tuning out can help you tune in.
• Decide what you need to do to cultivate wellness in your life. For some, it may be time in reflection. Others will turn to calming activities that help them remember their purpose—journal writing, being in nature, or studying. Or you may want a more direct form—using color, sound, or crystals to balance and ground yourself.

Your intentions may transform what might otherwise be a day of rest into a day of healing. Give yourself permission to relax and savor the stillness. If you attune yourself to the calm you created, worldly distractions will be minimized and the unadulterated flow of your consciousness will reestablish itself in the forefront of your mind.

The needs of your body, heart, and soul will be revealed to you, empowering you to access the essential healing energy of the universe. The process you use to channel this energy is dependent on your shifting requirements, so each day of healing you enjoy will be unique. Everything will replenish you, thus, allowing you to recreate yourself in a perfect image of health.
