How to heal yourself

Illness means your body tells you you are doing something wrong in your life. You need to find your poison and get rid of it. This way all afflictions can be healed. But one problem is to actually find the cause and completely different one is to be strong enough to stop doing that.

Current medicine usually only heals physical body with some chemical stuff. It is usually enough to help, but sometimes it causes more problems than its worth. Every person is individual and one-fits-for-all approach is not the best. 

But its easy to just go to doctor and then take your pills. Harder path is to try to improve your life. You need to experiment with starting or stopping doing some things and see if it is worse or better than before. Problem is that most changes have quite long term effect (like start practicing yoga - it is hard and painful for quite long time before it starts to help you - trying that now myslef). So is this particular change worse or I just didn't try long enough?

Try changing all habits of yours one at a time. Start with those you think are not good for your health. Usually good start is with your diet or drugs (coffee, alcohol, tobacco, ...). There are lot of people that can help you with that. But its usually easier said than done.

But that was not what I want to write about in this post.

Did you ever found out that you felt much better in the morning that the evening before? Did you ever wonder why ill people sleep much more than healthy ones? Yeah, sleeping (and good dreaming) can heal you.

Even scientists think that main reason people need sleep are cleaning and repairing of brain tissue, memory organisation and solidifying.

First of all make sure you have enough time to sleep. I cannot emphasize this one enough. Healing of body and mind requires time. Its definitely worth it.

Next make sure your dreaming should be as helpful as possible (see my post about fighting nightmares - fear in dreams can even hurt you more physically).

Finally try to concentrate your healing power before every sleep. Focus your attention on what is bad in your body.

With every inhale you suck positive energy in through some of your chakras (I use 3rd eye on forehead). You can help to strengthen this flow by imagining shouting power syllable RA (sounding like in some big temple). Maybe even better could be using 5th chakra and try to suck in energy of Sun itself.

With every exhale try to imagine this energy flowing through the bad spot washing away all obstacles and pains. Power syllable KHAN can help you there (sounding like strong wind in valley).

Breath slowly and deeply (4-6 heartbeats each) so you have enough time to imagine all this as vivid as possible - especially exhaling and sweeping your body of all bad stuff. Slowly go from meditation to sleep.

And as always - your faith will heal you. If you do not believe it can help, better try something else.
