Self Healing
You know how to heal yourself.
In ancient times before modern medicine, there were higher mortality rates from the widespread contraction and rapid spread of different diseases. But there were also people who caught illnesses and lived. These are people who, by either education, intuition, or biological demand, understood that they had the capacity to self heal, and quickly tapped into that flow, these people, for the most part are the ones who passed on their genetics.
So, you know how to heal yourself. It’s coded deep into your ancient intelligence. It needs only to be acknowledged, and turned on to start working. And the biggest problem with modern science today is that it doesn’t acknowledge this very simple human natural skill.
If you don’t allow yourself to believe that you can heal yourself, your self- healing mechanism won’t turn on, or will only work in a limited way. If your mind is against you, if your mind cannot conceive of this ordinary and native capacity, you won’t heal deeply, or at all. This is a simplistic way of describing something that is much more complex, but it’s useful to understand that you can train your mind and body impulses towards deep healing.
These natural techniques we’ll discuss connects you to your self -healing mechanism. It helps to turn it on and increase the wattage. There are so many techniques to jumpstart this intrinsic capacity, and some are practically effortless. And this is exactly what is important in giving you these self healing practices: to know that you have options for self-care and self healing.
Whether current medicine is important to you, or you are more of a naturopathic sort, these practices can be incorporated into your regimen for maximum healing and long, lasting vitality. It’s valuable, no matter what your stance is, to know the powerfully effective ways to take care of yourself, and support your healing on all fronts, and on your own terms.
In this chapter we’re going to do that and re-address any of the lesson content from the previous few weeks learning about Ayurveda. We understand our Dosha, we understand our dominant nature and the elemental resources of our existence. So now we’re going to dive a little bit deeper into food remedy, breath techniques, herbal concoctions, and simple techniques to incorporate Ayurveda, and enhance more modern Kundalini yoga practices for the next few chapters.
