Good Morning!
Our Healing Path
This week I will be discussing ways to helo discover our own healing journey. Each healing path is different, depending on your own particular struggles at any given time in our lives. Although the paths may be different, there are mile markers along the journey that are similar. Devising your personal path to healing, is up to you!
Your Healing Journey
What shift does it take for someone to find that road to feeling well again? The path to wellness must include a sense of freedom and enjoyment within that journey, and we have to be true to ourselves. We have to believe in the recovery process.
We get sick for a reason. There is the germ and virus explanation that is the basis of Western medicine. There is also another way of looking at it. When we catch a cold, it is because our immune system is low and makes us more vulnerable to these bacteria or viral infections. When we are stressed and the adrenal glands are working over time, we set ourselves up for a bigger fall. We leave the door open, when we do not take care of ourselves. There are also the metaphysical reasons behind illness and that is due to the lack of love and honor we give ourselves.
Once we are ill, this becomes another mind set. We become more aware, more sensitive to our bodies, to our emotions, to our mortality. Our perceptions create our reality. When we realize that we are ill, we can become overwhelmed. I have seen it with myself and I have seen this with my patients.
There is a mind medicine that must be taken along with all your other treatments. That is to reprogram your consciousness to create the perception that you are on the road to recovery. I have seen this work with someone who has had a cold, as well as those who have been terminally ill. When a transformation is focused along side with other forms to fight the illness, the healing process accelerates.
Your belief in your recovery is the first and foremost therapy that should be applied.
Whichever form of therapy you are working with, these practices should reinforce the belief in the recovery and the transformation to wellness and balance.
What stops us from getting better?
Again it is our mindset. There are those who actually enjoy being in their illness. They get the love and attention they may not have. They may find this a great excuse to miss work, step out of life for a bit, or simply to slow down. Perhaps, it is a sign their bodies are telling them that it is time to slow down. Some people are just not ready or willing to be on the recovery path. Even if they say they are. If they have not made the conscious effort to truly believe in their recovery, they are only half way there.
Your belief in your recovery is the first and foremost therapy that should be applied.
