 1 - Notice Your Beliefs
Your beliefs set the stage for healing. Positive attitudes stimulate growth and negative attitudes impede it. It's important to rid yourself of counterproductive attitudes that you may not even realize you have. If you examine your beliefs and choose life-enhancing ones then you'll create optimal wellness. Your beliefs affect your mental, physical and emotional self so be completely true to yourself. This will free you from unconscious negative beliefs that can sabotage your healing.
2: Be In Your Body
Your body is a complex and sensitive intuitive receptor. You must make a commitment to be in it completely to heal. Most people in Western society are conditioned to live from the neck up, ignoring the rest of their body which is totally counter-intuitive. Shift that perspective by enjoying your intellect but be conscious of your physicality as well. Being aware of your body opens intuition and you'll become more cognizant of early warning signs your body sends. This gives you a head-start on preventing illness, choosing healthy relationships, and avoiding detrimental situations.
3: Sense the Body's Subtle Energy
We are composed of flesh and blood but also of subtle energy (chi, Ki, prana, etc.) a vital substance which penetrates the body and extends many feet beyond it. From an intuitive point of view, these vibrantly colored energy fields, whose centers are called chakras have a significant effect on our health. For that reason, it is important that we learn to sense this energy within us, recognize when it is off, and learn to correct the imbalance. Feeling energy can be very sensual, an extension of love. Learning to tap into your body's energy is healing.
4: Ask for Inner Guidance
We each possess an intuitive voice that contains answers about our healing. Because our intellect is often so loud, this voice usually gets drowned out so it's essential to learn to access the stillness within--through meditation, quiet contemplation, connecting with nature, prayer--in order to gain answers about our health. Spend a few minutes each day devoted to listening to this voice. It may appear as a gut feeling, a hunch, an image, a sound, a memory, an instant knowing--as if a light bulb suddenly switched on. Learn to trust the signals your inner wisdom sends.
5: Listen to Your Dreams
Intuition is the language of dreams. Every ninety minutes each night during the REM stage of sleep, we dream. Dreams provide answers about health, relationships, career choices, any new direction, etc. The secret is to remember them. I suggest keeping a dream journal by your bed and before you go to sleep, ask a dream question. For instance, "Is this relationship healthy for me or should I move on?" The next morning, write down any dreams immediately before getting out of bed. Try repeating the question, every night for the next week until your answer comes. As you develop the habit of remembering dreams, you'll be able to benefit from this form of healing.
