Our bodies have the wisdom to heal themselves. In fact, they were perfectly created and designed to do so. However, as we begin to conform to the conventional way of thinking, feeling and behaving (from birth), over time our bodies layer with subconscious blocks that make it harder and harder for our bodies to heal.
By implementing tools and resources to help bring our bodies back to a balance we are creating the most optimal state for true healing to take place. When we think about making action steps towards self healing we want to approach our healing from multiple angles (ie., the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) to help maximize our progress in the healing process.
Learning how to build our family’s immunity and decreasing the inflammation in our bodies through our diet and the use of supplements has been a huge lifestyle shift; the benefits are well worth the inconvenience at times. Through the use of our family nutritionist, she was able to skillfully decipher each of our food sensitivities and intolerances. By eliminating the foods that did not agree with our bodies, each of us noticed significant results to our overall well being.
Consuming two litres of water a day while being mindful of my daily caffeine intake keeps me energized and replenished.
Implementing a daily exercise routine (through the guidance of my physiotherapist) to help reconstruct and strengthen my core foundational muscles has relieved all of the chronic pain. Seeing my osteopath and chiropractor has been equally important as being in alignment helps promote proper healing.
Sleeping for 8-10 hours each night to helps maximize my healing and overall state of being. Sleep in itself is a spiritual practice.
A big part of our overall health is directly linked to the condition of our mind as it influences all systems in our body. The way we think alters the way our body responds and/or functions, potentially creating imbalances within the body. Good news is that we can change this imbalance by changing the messages our minds are sending to our bodies through the use of affirmations.
Affirmations are mantras or statements that can be recited to change the way we think and the messages we send to our bodies. You can get creative using affirmations. I write mine on sticky notes and place them in different places around my house (i.e., bathroom mirrors, windows, fridges, bedside tables, car dashboards).
If you really feel committed you could write out your affirmations in your journal, sing them, record them and listen to them etc. Practice your affirmations until you feel it sink into your subconscious… until your heart genuinely believes it.
Did you know that our past memories are stored in our subconscious mind but the emotion to these memories are stored in our bodies?
When we encounter an experience when we are younger without the wisdom or knowledge to navigate our way through the situation our bodies store the emotion we attach to the memory.
After this conditioning, we react to future situations in similar ways of when we first experienced them, otherwise known as Pavlov Conditioning. This overtime, creates a belief system in our subconscious mind which further creates inflammation in different parts of our bodies where we hold the past emotion.
With the daily use of the Heart Freedom Method I am able to revisit times in the past (held in my subconscious) that need love and attention, while balancing my mind and realigning my body.
The power of intention is by far the most profound tool I have more recently learned to discover. I implement it into my daily routine and use it to accelerate my dreams and aspirations. It is especially exceptional when you are trying to heal.
I usually write my intentions on the new moon which include statements of things that I want. When we include the word gratitude in our statements we are telling the universe we are grateful for “our wants” as if they have already come true. Focus on feelings you want to feel or actions you want to implement (i.e., I am grateful for listening to my heart, I am grateful for playing, I am grateful for trusting in the process of life etc.).
When I read my intentions everyday I feel what I want to feel like and I imagine or visualize what it looks like. I keep these thoughts, feelings and pictures in my awareness as often as possible. You can even create a vision board with pictures and words to help you focus on your goals.
I ask. I believe. And then I receive.
