Healing

Many pagans and witches especially go in for healing. Be it Reiki, Bowen therapy, Alexander Technique, Hypnotherapy, Indian Head Massage, Crystal Healing etc, we all feel the need to heal. One thing many people do not do is heal themselves. As a Reiki master, the first thing we are taught, and teach, is healing yourself. This is what level one is all about. However, I know from experience that lots of us do not bother healing ourselves after this initial period and yet it can be so very beneficial.

Some forms of healing are not practical to do on yourself, Shiatsu for example, but for those of us who have been taught a form of healing that we can do on ourselves, why do we not bother with ourselves?

We are all very good at preaching but practising what we preach can be a great deal harder. While we may have excuses for not healing ourselves, such as time, tiredness etc, we know they are just that, excuses. |If we are really not well then no, we cannot heal ourselves but when we first start to feel that cold coming on, or fatigue etc, it is worth sitting ourselves down for a few minutes and offering our body what it needs, a little bit of TLC.

Another thing we can do for ourselves is taking ten minutes a day to re-connect with self. Meditating, yoga, taking a walk outside or just relaxing in a bath for this short amount of time is vital for our physical and emotional wellbeing, as well as our spiritual growth.

Meditation can be especially beneficial - 10 minutes can equate to an hours sleep. Stretching can increase stamina, flexibility and circulation of blood and oxygen through our body. Just ten minutes walking will give you fresh air and make you feel more connected with the earth and ground you!
