Self Healing and Development - The Power of the Mind

Do you believe that healing comes from the power of the mind?  That belief in the restoration of health could actually transpire from the power to heal that comes from our thoughts?  How can we use our minds to make our dreams happen?

So many mind-boggling questions about the power to heal and succeed brought about by the mind exist in our society, then and now.  We are all far too pre-inhabited with our negative emotions, worries, stressors and anxieties.  In turn, our state of health is inauspiciously affected, leaving us with stress-related diseases. How do we bring about self-healing?  This article aims to guide and provide readers with insights about one’s self, behaviors, and one’s perception of health status.

First thing we need to understand is our own personal energy. Perhaps we have all have encountered the word ‘aura’, which does surround our body.  But what could this possibly contribute to our health?  In a program of Carolyn Myss called “Why People Don’t Heal,” she mentioned of one’s biography becoming one’s own biology.  The vigorous exchange that occurs within the aura is where thoughts transform into energy.  In other words, our aura of the waves of energy encircling our body affects our health positively or negatively.  The energy surrounding our body are the seven main ‘chakras’ or wheels which correspond to a specific endocrine gland inside our body.  The saying ‘you are what you eat’ affirms to a certain degree to the saying ‘you are what you think’. 

The second step that we need to take is to heal the wounds of the past by simply letting go.  Reflection of our thoughts and re-channeling of the negative energy to positive ones should then be made.  Remember that wounds are powerful enough to lead your life.  It can manipulate a person’s life and could make you the bitter type because you simply are shunning away from what could be the best thing for you to have and do.  Wounds of the past can also attract other wounded souls and create an unhealthy mix of emotions, leaving you lost.  It also has the power to lose your ability to listen, because of the pain that you feel.  It makes listening to others a burdensome thing because you lose the desire to help others mainly because you tend to focus only on what you feel and how painful that feeling is. 

Learn how to let go of the pain that old memories bring so that you can move forward on the next step to your healing. The third step that we should take is to learn how to forgive others and ourselves.  By forgiving ourselves, we help ourselves become healed of our resentment, frustration and anger.  Forgiveness is the key to take the energy out of your past emotional investment.  Give up on the need to pass rotten energy and stop making negative deposits into your body.  You will know that you have truly forgiven once you feel that your body literally takes away and let’s go the weight and burden of the past.  You will feel this because your feeling will surely lighten once forgiveness has been made.

The last and final step that we should take is the most important all.  Love yourself.  As the song goes, ‘learning to love your self is the greatest love of all’.  One cannot truly love another without first loving his body and individuality.  We must all remember that everything comes from within the mind, and to reach the ability of self-healing and self-development, the aforementioned steps should be well taken into consideration.  Impossible is nothing and there is no known limit to what the mind can do and achieve.  All we need to do is have a powerful belief, action, positive thinking and will power in order to reach the highest level of our persona.
