Modern, practical steps to spiritual self-healing

In the wellness community, we hear a lot about self-healing when it comes to illness, addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, or even just plain human conditioning. It can feel a bit overwhelming to even get started when every one of us has so much inside to unpack. It can feel like entering a dark, scary cave without the right equipment. Melissa Crowhurst offers really easy to follow steps that are perfect for those who are just beginning to dip their toes into their own true selves that can act as a starter kit for exploring that cave.

First, you have to shine a light on your true self. Doing this means first facing your own beliefs about yourself. Most of us have false negative beliefs cemented in place by negative experiences or even inherited from the people who raised us. This isn’t to blame ourselves, we’re only human and this is just how we develop. By challenging your negative thoughts while looking at yourself in the mirror, you can start asking yourself the right questions. Why do I have these negative beliefs about myself, my body, my voice, my face? Loving our physical form is good, but most of us over-identify with this vessel and in the end, it causes us so much pain as we chase beauty standards rather than health and feeling comfortable.

Even though we want to work towards not over-identifying with our physical bodies, Melissa Crowhurst guides us along with the other steps to make sure we are healthy and supported on our journeys. Not only is it important to have awareness of our true selves beyond our physical form, but to make good choices to fuel our bodies. Everyone can benefit from a good diet, but for those on a spiritual healing journey, it’s super important to give your body what it needs as it works to break down and metabolize improperly digested emotional experiences. Think about all the people you know who are emotionally constipated. It’s pretty much literal.
