Self-Healing & Meditation
Self-Healing is a personal experience generated by learning how to harness both your mind and body and their innate ability to heal themselves. A self-healing exercise is for a specific purpose. It is personal because for it to be effective there needs to be be a reason, a need , and appropriate impulse in order to want to self-heal. It is learning how to communicate with and listen to the inherent healing faculties of your mind, emotions, will, and body. After listening to them then you need to know how to apply what you have felt, heard and sensed. Self-healing is at its best a blend of psychological, emotional and focused intention. It is an expression of who you truly are.
I use a fusion of traditional Tibetan self-healing methods along with cognitive and mindfulness approaches that can help you to self-heal. Some of my clients prefer to stick with either the more psychological approaches or just the Tibetan approaches. There are particular guidelines as to how any of these are used and depends upon your personal circumstances and there are some situations in which other methods may be more beneficial. Some people choose to use self-healing instead of a therapy-based approach. I can also work with you to help you create your own self- healing methods so that you can design and create exercises for the mind and body. Self-Healing can be used to create a powerful alliance and connection between body and mind in helping you to improve recovery from an illness, or to use as a device to help you deal with stress and improve your vitality.
Meditation dwells inherently within you. The techniques that are practised to experience this are not meditation but methods to the experience. Yet it with this that a person must start. I teach a variety of approaches. The use of sound, insight, mindfulness, breath, or visualisation, colour and listening, or meditation done by acts of kindness or activity in your daily living- or the use of mental energies are just a few of many techniques.
There are many ways to meditate as there are people; and some ways suit some people better than others, and a lot depends upon what is going on in your life and how you are emotionally at the time of your interest. If you are experiencing major or sudden emotional or psychological challenges I would not suggest you learn how to meditate until these are resolved and suggest that you consider other approaches that I use. If you are not sure you can discuss this with me in confidence.
There are many reasons as to why people want to meditate, to reduce stress, find peace, to know who they are, to be healthy, to be relaxed or calmer. Whatever the reason, meditation creates a strong foundation within yourself and enables you to accumulate greater personal emotional, psychological and mental balance. Meditation is not therapy, but is healing, it is not coaching but it can assist you to get closer to who you want to be. Learning to meditate is not always easy to do as it can be at first a big leap, demanding honesty and self-kindness as it can reveal things to each of us that are not always comfortable.
The act of meditation changes lives, yours and others. In the act of meditation there comes a self arising self-knowledge and the world presents opportunity and vision. So if you want to learn to be with your Self and go beyond it, to be content with the sacred and human--mediation is a place to start , for you will find that it is a journey that is always renewed.
