Healing yourself is doable. Easier said than done, right?

But it is easy with the know-how, and with practice, you can begin to elevate your emotions and health.

What Is Self-Healing?

Self-healing refers to the things we do (consciously and unconsciously) to kickstart our internal recovery system to heal from wounds, illness, or any imbalance. We witness our body’s ability to heal itself each time we recover from a cut or bruise.

According to science, we have an innate ability to heal the body and mind, which explains the placebo effect when you can heal your body with the mind.

Tuning into your energy body is a simple process. And when you do so with a powerful intention, you can truly change your life physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Can Your Body Self-Heal?

Your body was designed to heal. From renewable cells to emotional healing, it is capable of self-regulation and healing itself in so many ways!

When you know how to tune into your body’s energy systems, you can control and accelerate your natural self-healing mechanisms.

What does energy healing feel like?

The experience of energy healing is unique to each person. Many people who have gone through energy healing describe it as relaxing, warm, and physically pleasant.

But if you are thinking of undergoing an energy healing procedure, you should be prepared for energy and mood shifts in your body.

How to Heal Yourself

The best way to start healing yourself is to bring a feeling of peace into your body. Stress causes inflammation, and inflammation is toxic to the body. So begin by breathing deep into your diaphragm, connecting to your inner peace.

You can tune into your energy body and use your thoughts and emotions to change the frequency and flow of your energy.

It is as simple as changing the channel from a negative reporting news channel to your favorite comedy show. It can instantly shift you from feeling anxious to feeling relaxed and calm. 

As you feel more at ease, your day moves with more ease, flow, and synchronicities.

Self-Healing Techniques

There are a number of remedies out there. But here’s a hand-picked list of some effective modalities:

Understand that healing is more than just medication. When it comes to staying healthy, using natural methods can be incredibly beneficial for your mind and soul.

Self-healing meditation: 5 steps

Meditation is, by far, one of the most effective and fastest ways to heal yourself.

Read through all steps, and then take five minutes to put the wheels in motion and practice. Now, here’s how to do it:

1. Sit in a comfortable position and become aware of your breath

No need to change your breathing pattern; just pay attention to the flow—in and out, in and out. No judging it, no changing it—just noticing.

This is to become present and to stop some of the never-ending thoughts from interfering for the next few minutes.

2. Take your hands (palms together in front of you) and rub them together for 30–60 seconds

Let them become warm from the friction and feel that warmth. 

Invite a slight smile as you rub your hands and take this time. Smiling itself is healing and can switch our moods in a few seconds.

3. Hold your hands 6–8 inches away from each other, facing each other, and feel the energy flowing through them

This energy is always here; you are feeling it now because of the intention and awakening your awareness to it. 

Feel this energy and tune into it. Know this is part of you. Keep on smiling—doesn’t this feel great?

4. Close your eyes and see if you can move the energy up your arms, through your body

There is no “wrong way” to do this. You are awakening your energy body with your intent, and your intent is to feel and heal.

See if you can move that energy to any part of your body where you may feel some stress or illness. Keep it there, knowing you are sending it love and positive “healing energy.” 

If you are losing touch with feeling the energy, rub your hands together again. There is no judgment and no way to do this incorrectly.

Picture the energy in whatever way feels right for you. Perhaps you want to feel it, or maybe you want to picture it as a white light—it is whatever way feels the easiest for you. Let yourself play with this step and smile while doing it.

5. Continue to work with this flow of energy

Call it to different parts of your body. Notice how it feels as it reaches different spaces. This energy can help those areas that usually bring you pain. Feel grateful for finally recognizing this inherent ability in you.

Notice the energy relaxing the parts of the body it flows into. Thank your body for being able to awaken to this awareness and healing.

Playing with this energy flow for even five minutes can bring joy and peace that you may have felt were impossible even minutes earlier.

How did that feel? This energy is always present in your body; you just need to tune into it.

In just five minutes, you can change your energy flow and state of being. You can offer your body, mind, and spirit some healing.

As you can see in the above exercise, you don’t have to be a gifted healer to heal yourself.

Affirmations to Help Heal Yourself

Having empowering beliefs, habits, and thought patterns greatly assists in the healing process. Here are some powerful affirmations you can use on repeat:

  • With each breath I take, I am healing my body
  • My mind, body, and soul are healthy and strong
  • I have the ability to overcome any health challenges life gives me
  • My positive thoughts and actions are the medicine for my health and body
  • Taking care of myself feels good
  • I deserve to feel healthy and vibrant
  • Being in my body feels great
  • My body can do amazing things

Your mind is a great machine, and it can affect your body. When you use affirmations daily, you can reprogram your mind. And in turn, it can help increase self-compassion and feelings of kindness towards others…and even yourself.

Self-Healing Tips

There are some great ways to uplift your well-being. If you’re looking for more, though, here are some additional tips that you may find helpful:

  • Breathe into your pain or discomfort
  • Eat well and mindfully
  • Start a gratitude jar
  • Listen to podcasts and get inspired by trailblazers
  • Incorporate energy medicine tools, like crystal skulls

There are countless ways, of course. But find the ones that work for you.
