4 Tips to expedite self-healing

Whenever you feel less than your best, basic mental discipline techniques can facilitate healing. Ever heard, "mind over matter?" Cases exist that reveal the mind influences healing. It has also been shown people learn to tap into their own energy and sense it amplify desirable changes.  What about you?

Now, illness and disease manifest with varying degrees of severity. Your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect how you perceive symptoms and courses of treatment.  As you explore options that resonate with you to regain your strength and vitality, consider these four tips to expedite healing;

1) Think before you speak. When someone asks how you are, do you immediately describe all negative feelings and sensations you experience? A person reinforces negative energy by emphasizing discomfort. Its like fueling a fire. Listen to yourself.  To strengthen healing, choose to share uplifting perspectives like, "I'm feeling much better today."  Recap only positives or, paths to recovery you dream into being.

2) Curtail destructive emotions. You generate emotions consciously and unconsciously. When you feel negative emotions coming on, you can view this as an opportunity to shift to the opposite emotion. It is all about awareness.  Noticing negativity can actually facilitate healing. Each emotion is a teacher. How you react and respond matters.

3) Control your thoughts- Bob Proctor quotes his teacher Leland Val Vandewall who said, “Thinking creates an image. Images control feelings. Feelings cause actions and actions create results.” This reminds you that how you think creates a domino effect. Developing mental discipline is very helpful.

4) Reframe fears. How often do you permit your imagination to run away with you? Some people seem prone to envisioning worst case scenarios. Ever meet anyone with an illness who starts listing all the people they know who have had similar symptoms and suddenly passed on? These individuals are nurturing fears.  To become aware of what you do already begins to dissolve the invisible, negative energy beneath it.

Donna Eden & 9 Energy systems that effect body and mind

Donna Eden has discerned energy systems since childhood and has evolved to develop and teach healing modalities in energy medicine. You may read auras, be familiar with chakras or know of meridians. Whatever your insight, you can build on it, expand on knowledge of energy systems.

You are not dreaming when you hear a person can evolve to clairvoyantly see and read the body's energies. You can learn to attune to layers that affect mind and body. Donna describes nine primary energy systems.  How do you feel energy? How does it affect your senses and emotions?

1) Meridians- carry the life force; adjust metabolism, remove blockages, determine speed and form of cell change. Meridians include fourteen tangible channels that carry energy into, through, and out of your body. They interconnect with organ systems. Your meridian pathways also connect hundreds of tiny, electromagnetically-distinct points on the skin's surface or, acupuncture points.

2) Chakras- seven concentrated centres of energy. Each chakra supplies energy to specific organs, corresponds to a distinct aspect of your personality, and resonates (from the bottom to the top chakra) with one of seven universal principles ; survival, creativity, identity, love, expression, comprehension, or transcendence. You may refer to the related color chart.

3) Aura- multi-layered bio-field of protective energy.  It shifts according to external disturbances. The aura is like a two-way antenna that absorbs energy from outside into your chakras and also releases energy. Energy can be drained or strengthened based on your thoughts, feelings and interactions.

4) Electrics- The electrics serve as a bridge that connects all energy systems at the basic level of the body’s electricity. You may have heard your body contains enough energy to power a small community for more than a week. There are reports of scar tissue being healed during an electrics session, heart ataxia eliminated, a knee replacement operation avoided, and all manner of emotional trauma overcome. What matters is the electrics connect all the systems.

5) Celtic Wave- These crisscrossing energies permeating your body are the "connective tissue" of your energy system. Like invisible threads that keep all the energy systems functioning as a single unit, the Celtic Weave networks throughout and around the body take shape in spiralling figure-eight patterns.  It expands and contracts.

6) The Five Rhythms- runs through all the others, leaving its vibratory imprint on physical attributes, health patterns, and personality traits. These are identified in traditional Chinese medicine where all of life was categorized into five "elements," "movements," or "seasons." You gain insight into cycles and progression and natural healing stages.

7) Triple Warmer- networks the energies of the immune system to attack an invader, and it mobilizes the body’s energies in an emergency for the fight, flight, or freeze response. It operates in ways that are so beyond the range of any other meridian that it must be considered a system unto itself. Its energies work in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland, which is the body’s thermostat and also the instigator of the body’s emergency response.

8) Radiant Circuits- function to ensure that all the other energy systems are working for the common good. They redistribute energies to where they are most needed, responding to any health challenge the body might encounter. In terms of evolution, the radiant circuits have been around longer than the meridians

9) Basic Grid- The basic grid is your body’s foundation energy. All the other energy systems ride on its back. Grid energy is sturdy, like a skeleton.  Severe trauma can damage your foundation.  When this occurs, it does not tend to just repair itself.  Instead, other energy systems adjust themselves or compesate for the damaged grid.  An example is how a personality forms around early traumatic experiences. Repairing a person’s basic grid is an advanced and intense form of energy medicine.

Give as much guidance as you can

Healing is not a short-term experience, though it does involve short-lived revelations.  It is something each being spends a lifetime exploring in ways often unacknowledged, disregarded or unforseen.  When was the last time you asked yourself why that is?  How do your views on the matter change?

Early on, everyone imagines what is best for them. You decide what you will listen to within yourself and what just seems like hocus pocus. You encounter many crossroads and at each one, you must choose; be authentic to yourself or something else. 

During dreams or while awake, you recall speaking freely to "invisible friends." Adults persuaded you these friends do not exist.  Little-by-little you revised your notion of what is okay to say and to whom, and forgot who you are in the process. 

The moment may arise when you become aware something about how you live, think or do, no longer makes sense.  If this happens, then be willing to give as much guidance as you can.  You may be shifting a notch to think again on your own.  As you begin reflecting differently, be sure to consider this;

1) suffering may pass in a wink, but the lead-up never does.

2) to spare yourself mistakes would prevent deeper growth.

3) the desire to avoid suffering may just be the root of all suffering.

5 Ways negativity helps you

When asked to choose adjectives they would use to describe effects of negativity on their life, the vast majority of people would reply with more negative thoughts.  Common human reactions to negative feelings include denial, indifference, repression and even ignorance these feelings are created at all. This misses the crucial issue: that negativity serves you.

If you reflect on conditions you have experienced that evoke anger, frustration, bitterness or other similar sentiments, then you are likely to conjure up images of people and places you would prefer to forget.  Part of you may wonder how this could be a piece of a healing process.  Consider these five ways that negativity helps you to turn your life around for the better;

1) It raises your awareness. From the moment you become aware of a negative thought, mood or sensation, you have no reason to feel discouraged. In fact, this is a sign you are redefining success. In order to stop identifying with inner states and ego, and stop permitting them to control you, you must move beyond your own reactions. You must view them from an external perspective. As you reach this juncture, you realize many other people do not know what they do.

2) It encourages detachment. Contrary to popular belief, discomfort is not meant to generate fear or your impulse to repress or run from these feelings. As you shift focus, you realize negativity actually encourages you to step back from your conditions.  This empowers you to view your life with greater objectivity. You are being taught to examine situations from different vantage points in order to better understand yourself. Detachment may be used to gain deeper insight.

3) It shows opposites create balance.  You may have heard for every action there exists an equal and opposite reaction.  The same can be said for feelings.  As you learn about love, you also learn about fear.  As you learn patience, you discover the point to impatience.  As you experience a sense of justice, you are also formulating views of injustice.  You discover two sides balance every picture.

4) It teaches how the mind operates.  It may surprise you to discover the mechanism for self-justification.  The mind distorts facts. It prompts you to condition certain kinds of counter-productive perception.  You decide what you like and dislike, perpetuate an internal judge. This is depersonalized through awareness.  You move from getting emotional about things, to noticing thoughts, feelings and subtle ego motives.

5) It guides you to deeper insight.  As you discover how your thoughts create opinions, you also gain insight into reasons for your rigid positions and narrow-minded ideas about identity.  You gradually learn any suffering you feel can be alleviated by taking responsibility for your inner state.  You can develop strategies to become more consistently alert, more attentive to the nature of your thoughts and feelings as well as why you create them.  You open up to new ways of "seeing."

4 ways to keep perspective

Every moment, you encounter situations with the potential to disrupt your inner peace.  You create a life based on your ideas of stability, security and what is required for survival.  Your mind sets you up to receive extraordinary gifts of insight.  This process helps correct your mistaken ideas about existence. 

When events unfold such that you lose a job, become ill, break-up in a relationship, feel challenged or jolted out of a state of comfort, then you learn how you thought things were is not how they are.  As you go through transitions of perception, you benefit from four ways to keep perspective;   

1) Focus on love and compassion.  Emotions that do not serve you stem from ignorance of how things are.  As you choose experiences that evoke healing emotions, this dissolves ignorance.  That is, when you consciously decide to send love to all people, including those who seem to hurt you, you begin to realize everyone helps trigger your revelations.

2) Develop a kind heart.  Tolerance is a stop on the road to deeper understanding.  Our moral strength is repeatedly tested as a way to encourage us to shift our sense of who we are.  As you imagine yourself changing places with a person to whom you are initially indifferent, callous, jealous, angry or negative, then you begin to sense why painful influences inspire a kinder heart.  Do unto others as you would have done unto you.  The nature of energy you send will come back to you.

3) Cultivate selflessness. Whenever your reflex is to place distance between yourself and a person or situation, ask yourself if your motivation is self-interest or something else.  The right thing to do is to put the needs of others before your own. It is a process to realize how this translates into your life and what sort of mindlfulness you are willing to create.

4) Favor mental flexibility.  In cases where you allow yourself to be too rigid, you are more likely to generate emotions and attitudes that do not serve you.  Where mental discipline is deliberate and conscious of intent, you grow to pay closer attention to detail.  This allows you to discover how the focus of your attention at a given moment creates beliefs that can be detrimental.  You find impetus to change.
