Learn to Use the Power of Your Mind to Heal

"We can tap our own healing forces by learning to use the power the mind has over the body. Healing is part of self-realization, a process of becoming whole and healthy."

~Dr. Gerald Epstein

I've watched this process occur as my husband has healed from his burns. Sometimes determination is one of the greatest healers. And when you realize that your mind can help heal you, it empowers you to live fully.

Yes, you have to actually take some action to make it happen, but your mind holds the key. When you activate your own healing energy and direct it to heal you, you become powerful in a humble way. You are working with your own energy to manifest an outcome with your physical body, and your mind is intimately intertwined in this process.

This week: Experiment with using your own healing energy in some area of your life. Imagine yourself sending your breath into some place of dis-ease or pain. Allow your mind to quiet, and to allow peace to wash over you. Settle on down into a place in your mind of safety and relaxation. Notice what happens in your body--even if it is for only a moment. Practice increasing the length of time you feel it by relaxing even more. Be one with the universe. Be one with the energy that surrounds you. Love yourself. So be it.
