We formed a lot of our beliefs during childhood, watching and listening to our parents and grandparents. Either we started to copy their way of living or decided to live differently. The series of thoughts that aligned with each other over a period of time, formed our beliefs. If the balance of those thoughts are life affirming, we begin to feel and experience that our health and immunity is strong and consequentially our body heals much faster. Whatever you believe becomes your reality.
Mental healing begins with assessing our present state of thought.
If it is mostly negative, mental healing involves the substitution of these negative thoughts with more empowering and nurturing thoughts. We must utilize all the tools such as affirmations, meditation and self-talk to guide our mind to seeing only the positive. Emotional Healing Emotional healing begins with dealing with disturbing feelings that disrupt our natural state of calmness, joy and peace. Our emotions are like friends, giving us at first, gentle reminders that perhaps we are not on the right path. However if we do not recognize their message, these emotions may escalate and cease to be reminders and instead, become the essence of who we are.
