Do You Have a Self-Healing Practice?
Lately, I’ve been asking friends, family, and clients one simple question: Do you have a self-healing practice?
The most common response I get is, "What is that?"
We’re all familiar with the idea of self-care.
It’s woven into modern life, whether we practice it or not.
We know the benefits of moving our bodies, getting a massage, grabbing a coffee with a good friend, walking in nature, or practicing yoga.
Self-care has become almost second nature in conversations about well-being, and even concepts like self-love are gaining mainstream traction.
We’ve learned from voices like Oprah Winfrey and others about the importance of being kind to ourselves and nurturing self-love.
But what about self-healing?
What does that mean, and why is it essential to incorporate it into our everyday lives?
What Is Self-Healing?
Self-healing is about more than just taking care of ourselves.
It’s about bringing ourselves back to balance, realigning with our true self, and making ourselves whole.
While self-care practices help us feel good in the moment—like the peace we find on a walk in nature or the physical relief from a massage—self-healing goes deeper.
It’s about tending to the core of who we are and addressing the parts of ourselves that feel disconnected, unbalanced, or wounded.
Healing involves integrating those parts, gently restoring harmony, and coming home to our authentic selves.
Why Do You Need a Self-Healing Practice?
Just as we need consistent self-care to nourish our bodies and minds, we also need consistent self-healing practices to nourish our hearts and souls.
Without such a practice, the stress and busyness of life can pull us further away from our true selves.
Over time, we can feel unbalanced, disconnected, or even stuck.
A self-healing practice helps us notice when we’re out of alignment and gives us the tools to gently realign.
My Self-Healing Practices
For me, self-healing has been a journey of exploration, guided by practices and tools that resonate deeply. Here are some of the ones that have transformed my life:
The Red Thread Healing Paradigm: This is a daily reminder to notice where I’m acting out of fear and choose love instead, gently untangling life’s knots.
SoulCollage®: A creative and intuitive practice that helps me tap into my inner wisdom and connect with my heart’s desires.
Astrology, Numerology, and Tarot: These tools have helped me understand my essence and navigate life’s challenges with clarity.
Energy Practices: Reiki and Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) have been powerful in bringing balance and healing to my energy field.
Each of these practices offers a way to tune into myself, notice what’s out of alignment, and take inspired action to restore harmony.
How to Create Your Own Self-Healing Practice
Developing a self-healing practice doesn’t have to be complicated. It starts with the awareness that healing is something you can do for yourself. Here’s how to begin:
Acknowledge the Need: Healing starts with the realization that we all need a way to restore balance and wholeness.
Choose Your Tools: Experiment with practices that resonate with you—try SoulCollage®, find an inner child therapist to guide you, take an online course that teaches you how to heal.
Commit to Consistency: Make your practice a regular part of your life. Even five minutes a day can have a profound impact over time.
Listen to Your Inner Guidance: Self-healing is deeply personal. Trust your instincts and allow your practice to evolve as you do.
An Invitation to Begin
Healing doesn’t happen all at once. It’s a gentle unfolding, a step-by-step return to your true self. I invite you to ask yourself: Do I have a self-healing practice? If not, what small step can I take today to begin creating one?
Self-healing isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for living a balanced, authentic life.
Start where you are, use the tools that call to you, and trust the process.
Over time, you’ll find yourself coming into greater harmony with who you truly are.
What might your self-healing practice look like?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
