The 5 Step Guide to Your Self-Healing - Part 1

My Healing Story

I have been on a healing journey for 20 years, experiencing muscle weakness due to a nervous system illness. Even after being diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) aka Lou Gehrig’s disease, I knew that I would find a way to heal. Over the years, I used many different techniques and learned something from each one. However, there was no one thing that healed all the issues. So, I created my own healing practice for healing that works for me. Through a combination of energy healing, dietary, environmental, and mindset changes, I stopped the progression of the illness many years ago, To assist other people, I want to share what I’ve learned so that you can create a practice that works for you.

Energy Healing Strategy

My healing strategy is based on the idea that our bodies know how to heal and it’s our job is to support it. There are many ways to support our healing, we should have a positive mindset; we should remove obstacles to healing like stress, limiting beliefs, and toxins; and increase energy both internally and externally.

I am sure that most of you are familiar with Dr. Bruce Lipton and his book The Biology of Belief. I discovered him early in my healing journey and this quote became the cornerstone of my healing strategy.

“It is also important to note to fully experience your vitality it takes more than just getting rid of life’s stressors. In a growth-protection continuum, eliminating the stressors only puts you at the neutral point in the range. To fully thrive, we must not only eliminate the stressors but also actively seek joyful, loving, fulfilling lives that stimulates growth processes.” 1

The 5 Steps to Self-Healing strategy can be done with traditional and alternative treatments.

Step 5 – Increase energy from External Sources

Step 1 – Achieve and Maintain a Positive Mindset

The first step of my self-healing is to achieve and maintain a positive mindset. This step is to know that it is possible to heal, never give up and keep exploring. Search for and connect with people who have or are healing. Read books, watch videos, join groups and follow people who have healed, who inspire, or motivate you. What did these people do? How did they do it?

After being given a diagnosis of ALS (aka Lou Gehrig’s disease), which for many is terminal, instead of worrying about what might happen, I continued living as if I wasn’t going to die…

Even while doctors were trying to figure out what was wrong, I was working with an incredibly supportive group of alternative and energy healing practitioners. Meanwhile, I kept trying treatment, supplements, and energy healing, I kept the ones that helped, discarded the ones that didn’t, and continued to try new ones. I NEVER GAVE UP.

Also, to the extent possible, limit the amount of time you spend with negative people. Unfortunately, we can’t avoid all the negative people and messages. But we can learn to limit the impact they have on us and our attitude. So, when someone says a discouraging fact or belief, replace it with an encouraging belief from someone who is healing. Do not engage with them. Choose to FOCUS on the positive messages, not on the naysayers and negative ones. I generally ignore people who have a limited view of what’s possible.

Focus and Visualization

It doesn’t matter what you want, health, abundance or love, choose it and powerfully focus on it. When you look at yourself as whole and perfect, things may change to reflect what you focus on. Spend more time every day seeing yourself doing the things that bring you joy and feel the joy and freedom, as if you are doing them.

“That is what was meant by when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Through your focus. Play with this. If you want to create more love, if you want to create more abundance, if you want to create more inspiration—it doesn’t matter what it is—choose it and focus on it, powerfully focus.”2

Knowing that healing is possible is critical to healing. That doesn’t mean that everyone who believes it’s possible will heal, but if they don’t it’s less likely that they will.
