How to mobilize your self-healing abilities and bring them to the aid of your recovery
We need to take a holistic view that integrates spirit, mind, emotions and body.
Action/ experience of the spirit effects the mental
Mental can control the emotional
Emotional can control the physical
Any disturbance or imbalance in one of these levels will have an effect on the others.
If something occurs on a physical level, the recovery can be speeded up by acting on other levels as well.
Rather than have a fear of disease and illness, we could perceive illness as a learning opportunity, to evolve and return to optimal health. Illness is now can be a learning experience not to be fought but to be observed to determine where one is in our lifes journey, which uses physical, emotional, and mental as a way express and understand where we are in our evolutionary process.
We need to be able to adjust any mental, emotional and physical disharmony in order to enjoy life that is more inline with our current evolutionary and spiritual needs.
The openness and willingness to explore
There are certain steps we can take to increase our self- healing and self-repair abilities. The same approach also leads to the fullest and richest life.
As infants were not born with a fear of our environment; instead, we take it for granted that our needs will be met.
We may have to relearn to trust ourselves and our place in the universe again.
We are the unified whole, the creative consciousness of the universe.
What may be required to heal?
- Focus on our authentic self
- Express what we love rather than manifest our fears
- Openness and willingness to expand our consciousness
- Express higher emotions -- compassion, love, forgiveness, trust, sevice
- Use mediation to achive the above
- Find a working partner that can unconditionally support you on your journey of discovery

‘The Book of Lists’
Locked in the past
We become creatures of habit based on past beliefs, thoughts and feelings.
What significant emotional events happened in your life?
How did you cope with the situation?
What did you decide?
What has that made you?
(Frightened, defensive, angry, frustrated, blame others, risk averse…).
These reactive patterns take over a greater part of your lives. The reaction becomes
a faster reaction happens more often for our own safety and well being.
What is mean by regenerating your life?
You regenerate by creating the new. If you resist the new rhythms and the opportunities in your life this can lead to a more mental polarization and emotional repression rather that personal spontaneous expression
The Positive-Reflection Exercise
Each of us has one or more talents we love to express. When we are fully and freely expressing who we really are, we feel joyful and supported.What determines how successful we will be at expressing our talents are how much love we feel for ourselves? The more love we feel for ourselves, the more we allow the creative energy of the Universe to flow through us. Freely expressing who we are leads us to feel our perfection, so that our perfection expands.
How can we begin this process of regeneration?
Open your heart, love yourself unconditionally trust your body's self healing abilities.
Practise the healing mantra “love and gratitude”
Connect and explore your inner self, though daily meditation
Do what you have always wanted to do, do what you love

Daily exercise
Visualize white light, healthy, vibrant, positive energy - white light moving in a triangle from the sacral centre to the throat centre to the solar plexus centre
Biologically valid thoughts
The way towards health is simplicity itself. It is the natural and easiest way to behave, yet this natural mental behaviour is often quiet difficult for the intellect to comprehend.
We are pre disposed naturally towards certain feelings, thoughts and attitudes that are meant to encourage life and vitality. These are composed of in-bread physiological information that is vital to our lives and which promote exuberance and fulfilment.
You must have sunny thoughts, as well as rays of physical sun, in order to be healthy.
When we were born, we possess a group of attitudes towards ourselves and towards life. These allowed us to grow with the greatest possible impetus. These inborn learning’s or attitudes can be roughly translated as follows:
I am an excellent person, a valuable part of the universe in which I exist.
My existence enriches all other aspects of life, even as the rest of creation enhances my own being.
It is good, natural, and safe for me to grow and develop and use my abilities and by doing so I enrich all other aspects of life.
The universe, of which I am part, supports me and I exist whether or not that existence is physically expressed.
By nature, I am a good and deserving person and all like elements are of good intent.
All of my imperfections, and the imperfections of other creatures, are redeemed in the greater scheme of the universe in which I have my being.
We are all immersed in feelings of well being, vitality and exuberance.
Our needs will be met and the universe is well disposed towards us.
These attitudes are inbred in the smallest microscopic portions of our body – a part of each atom and cell and organ, and they serve to trigger all the bodies’ responses that promote growth and fulfilment.
These inborn learning’s and attitudes should ideally remain with us for the rest of our lives, leading s to fully express our abilities and find fulfilment, as our awareness expands though experience.
As infants we are not born with an inborn fear of our environment; instead, we take it for granted that our needs will be met. We may have to relearn to trust ourselves and our place in the universe again.
We are the unified whole, the creative consciousness of the universe.
Requesting Support in Consciousness
Everything that we see and experience is a projection of our own consciousness. Unencumbered by beliefs, our consciousness expresses our Infinite Intelligence. Asking for support in consciousness is a way of accessing this unconditionally loving part of ourselves.
We frame each request in terms of Universal Principles.
Some examples:
I ask for support in consciousness...
In fully feeling my feelings, feeling love for my feelings, and feeling love for myself just the way I am.
In knowing my highest purpose and fully and freely expressing my unique talents
In feeling my feelings around scarcity, remembering that abundance is our natural state, and feeling gratitude for all that I have
In generously giving and gratefully receiving love, support and inspiration
Love : the most powerful healer
There is nothing that is not worthy of our unconditional love,”
Means and Ends
Means and ends are the same. The action and outcome are one.To achieve peace, we feel and express our inner peacefulness. To enjoy a life that works perfectly, we see and feel the perfection of everything and everyone, including ourselves. To experience the natural abundance of the Universe, we feel and express gratitude for the abundance all around us.
Exercise
A powerful mantra is love and gratitude
Repeat love and gratitude 30 times. You will feel better
Harmony in relationships
Every relationship in our lives reflects our relationship with ourselves. Every person we attract is there to support us in opening our hearts and reclaiming our power. When we truly love ourselves and feel the power and perfection that we are, we attract loving, harmonious relationships with others.
The Universe handles the details
Taking care of the details of our lives is generally considered a rational-mind activity. However, when our rational minds are active, we shut out our Infinite Intelligence, which has the capacity to handle the details in ways that are vastly more supportive of us and everyone else.
As we learn to relinquish our rational thinking and surrender to our intuition—our connection to Infinite Intelligence—we discover how easily, effortlessly and spontaneously events unfold for us.
What is it you really want what is our highest intention?
Use your conscious mind powerfully to choose what you really want and to hold intention.
90% 0f illness is emotionally based.
Resulting in dumping of emotional energy and overloading the sacral and solar plexus centres.
There can be no healing without connecting the lower charkas (emotional) with the higher charkas (mental)
Energy fields has an overall downward orientation caused by gravity. Cosmic and emotional energy is dumped in our solar plexus and needs to be reversed and flow though the charkas to the crown charka.
This requires the full awakening of Kundalini energy. The Kundalini is the residual energy of creation that lies dormant at the base of the spine. The energy has to rise to the crown charka.
Connecting and harmonizing :
Base charka with the crown charka
Sacral charka with the throat charka
Solar plexus with the heart charka
Focus the Ajna (third eye) charka on spiritual expression (divine will)
This can be done though visualization.
We recommend the workbook mind mastery meditations by Valerie V Hunt.
Each charka has seed mantra or basic acoustic note that corresponds with it.
Constant sub-vocal repetition of this mantra or acoustic note can set up a kind of biological resonance that actualizes the latent energies of the charka.

Throat SHAM
Heart YARN

The Mirror Exercise
Because we can never truly love and support another more than we love and support ourselves, the most valuable contribution we can ever make is to love ourselves and to continually deepen our feelings of self-love.
The Mirror Exercise, which is meant to be done individually on a daily basis, offers a profoundly simple way to increase our love for ourselves.
Stand or sit in front of a mirror Look at your-self eye to eye.
Go through the three steps of the Feeling Exercise.
Continue looking at yourself until you feel deep love for yourself
Say to yourself “I love you and support you unconditionally just the way you are in all your power and ,magnificence” or whatever other words you feel inspired to say.
In the beginning, the reasons not to feel love for yourself will predominate and draw your attention away from your feelings.
Keep returning your focus to your feelings and to feeling love for yourself.
Consider just a small amount of self-love to be a big accomplishment.
Little by little and with persistence, the willingness to feel more love for you increases. Your heart does open a little more and you do connect a little more deeply to the love that is your essence.
The Forgiveness Exercise
Forgiveness is the willingness to open the energy locked up in our judgments. By practicing forgiveness toward those we have judged or are judging as being unloving, we loosen the attachment of the judgment to the feeling, the energy in the feeling is set free, and that energy is then available to us as pure love.
When we are willing to release our judgments of another, we are in fact releasing our judgments of ourselves. Thus, our willingness to practice forgiveness is truly a gift of self-love.
The following exercise can assist you in feeling forgiveness, and ultimately deep love, for anyone you are ready and willing to forgive.
Take your time with each step.
Be willing to go through the process as often as necessary until you feel deep love for the person.
For this exercise, you will want to call on the support of your Inner Self
Focus on the mantra love and gratitude. Repeat 30 times
When you feel a sense of peacefulness, self-love and support, bring into your conscious awareness a person for whom you hold strong judgments.
Ask your inner Self to assist you in feeling the feelings that are connected to these judgments.
Feel the feelings as deeply as you can.
Ask your inner Self to assist you in feeling love for these feelings.
Allow your heart to open and embrace these feelings.
Feel deep love for your Inner Self
Ask your Inner Self to assist you in feeling forgiveness for this person.
Allow your heart to open as wide as you can.
Let this feeling of forgiveness expand into deep love for this person.
When you are ready, embrace the person in this deeply felt, open-hearted love.
Feel your connection to the Oneness that you are.
Note:
Both the Mirror Exercise and the Forgiveness Exercise may be used in a Support Group.
One person volunteers to guide another through the steps of each exercise while the other participants silently offer their loving support.
The Daily Five-Minute Support Group
This is a wonderfully supportive activity that can be done by couples, families, and in group living situations.
If young children are involved, the words can be modified and simplified to make them more easily understood.
The Five- Minute Support Group can also be conducted over the telephone.
Each morning the members of a household come together to make and acknowledge requests for support.
In the evening, they reconvene briefly to share how their day went in light of their requests.
The Positive-Reflection Exercise
Participants focus on one person at a time.
In turn, each participant looks the recipient in the eyes and says, “The positive qualities I see in you that you reflect for me are. . . “and completes the statement with several qualities that spontaneously come up, such as kindness, vitality, joyfulness, wisdom.
The recipient merely says, “Thank you,” and the exercise continues until everyone has had an opportunity to receive recognition from all participants.
Note: Be sure to give each recipient a few moments to take in and feel the effect of these loving words before going on to the next person.
Variations
If there is not enough time to do the full exercise, each participant can recognize just the person to his left, going around the circle to the right. Or the exercise may be shortened by staling just one quality per person.As another variation and a most powerful one; bring a mirror into the circle, and let each participant do the Positive - Reflection Exercise eye-to eye with her or himself.
The Self-Acknowledgment Exercise
One person goes around the circle, acknowledging each participant but using his own name every time. For example: Peter would look at Jill and say, “Peter, I love you and support you unconditionally just the way you are in all your power and magnificence.” The exercise continues until everyone has had a turn making this self-acknowledgment to all participants.
