[Daily OM]: Human beings carry within themselves
the seed of healing. Our choices affect us more than we realize, and it
is because of this that we tend to place responsibility for our
wellness in the hands of others. As beneficial as regular visits to a
healer can be, we have the power to heal ourselves at will. When we
dedicate a day to the pursuit of wellness, we can relax and renew
ourselves in a nourishing and comfortable environment. A sincere desire
to open ourselves to the highest realities of our physical and spiritual
selves is the key to self-healing so that healing energy can flow into
us unimpeded.
A self-healing day should address the vital needs of the self as a whole
while directing healing energy where it is needed most. Solitude is an
important part of the process as is the ability to take refuge in a
space that is both beautiful and peaceful. Start your healing day by
setting the intention that you are dedicating this time to healing
yourself. Flowers, candlelight, incense, and music can guide our focus
toward a more tranquil state. For a more intense session, try listening
to music through headphones since tuning out can help you tune in. It is
up to us to decide what we need to do to cultivate wellness in our
lives. For some, it may be time spent in reflection. Others will turn to
calming activities that help them remember their purpose, such as
journal writing, being in nature, or studying. Our healing may even take
a more direct form as we use color, sound, or crystals to balance and
ground ourselves.
Ultimately, your wholesome intentions transform what might otherwise be a
simple day of rest into a day of healing. Grant yourself permission to
relax and savor the stillness. If you attune yourself to the calm around
you, worldly distractions will be minimized and the unadulterated flow
of your consciousness will reestablish itself in the forefront of your
mind. The needs of the body, the heart, and the soul will then be
revealed to you, empowering you to tap into the essential healing energy
of the universe. The mechanism you use to channel this energy will be
dependent on your shifting requirements, so each day of healing you
enjoy will be unique. All will replenish you, however, allowing you to
recreate yourself in a perfect image of health.
