Body & Mind Connection

You may not be aware of it yet, but your body is an incredible, sophisticated machine. This very unique machine has so much wisdom and knowledge in it, that it can cope with almost any situation. Most things, the body does automatically, without us having to pay attention. But sometimes, we need to take a few steps, to help the body do what it is already doing.
It is very important to remember that the body and the mind are connected. So when we feel sick, weak or in pain, there’s always a deeper reason. It usually means that the soul or the  inner self is asking for something, and we didn’t listen. The body will only express it if we don’t listen to our true self.

Find The Source Of The Pain And Make It Go Away

As you probably already understand, in addition to physical treatment, we should always involve some inner work. We should take care to also cleanse our soul in the process of healing, not just the body. This way, we ensure that the illness goes away faster, and does not come back soon.

Intuitive writing is one of the most powerful techniques for stress relief and self-healing. This is because it allows us to transfer thoughts and feelings from the body onto a piece of paper. It allows us to see things on the outside, on the paper, instead of getting lost in confusion, pain or overthinking patterns. But this method of self-development is also amazing as a tool for self-healing. This is basically the first step you should take when you feel ill or anxious. Start by letting it all go out onto the paper. You can also analysing it if you want, to understand your soul better and send yourself some love.
The trick is not to stop and think about what you want to write, but to let the words flow. Even if they don’t make sense or don’t make a logical sentence.  Just don’t let the pen leave the paper. Let it all out without judgement. Your soul knows what it wants to say, allow it, let go. LISTEN.

Support The Body To Make Its Natural Healing Processes

• A small note on fever: When the body develops a fever, we should give it time and not necessarily try to lower it. The warmth in the body kills the viruses or the problem. Yes, we should be careful not to let the fever get too high. However, if it does, there are also natural ways to bring the temperature down a little, while keeping a beneficial warmth. This is important for the body to continue the AUTOMATIC process it is doing.
• Drink lots of water: And when I say lots, I mean A LOT. Take a 1.5 litre bottle and keep refilling it. Drink so much that you have to go to the toilet all the time. This way, you help your body wash out everything it needs to get rid of. It also helps the body maintain a “normal heat level”, a supportive body temperature that helps keep the fever under control.
• Real rest is crucial: It is so important to really give your body time to heal and return to a normal state. When you are sick, your body devotes much more energy than usual, to fighting the problem and getting back into balance. So sleep as much as possible. Give your body the time and attention it needs to regenerate.
  So even when you are awake, make sure you get enough real rest. No social media, nothing that stresses you out or makes you sad. Watch a movie for example, that makes you smile. Read a book that is comforting to you, or sit out in the fresh air. Your body’s systems are working so hard, don’t overload them.
• Finally, if you want to make sure that the illness really goes away, don’t go back to your normal life routine too quickly. Even if you are already feeling a little better – give yourself another 1-3 days of rest to fully recover. This will ensure that the sickness disappears and does not get stuck.

Give Your Body A Hand In The Process

• Hot bath: If you have a bath, fill it with warm water (not too hot) and pour love into it. Stay in the water for at least 10 minutes if you can. Practice breathing a little, relax your body and your mind. The warm water can relieve a lot of tension you are feeling. The vapours of the warm bath help to open the airways and skin pores, which helps the body to expel what does not need to stay.
  As water is a powerful element, you can also charge the water with healing energy, with love and good intentions. You can hold your hands over the water before you go in, or when you are already in the water, and say a few blessings.
  You can say this mantra: “I charge the water with healing energy. I allow myself to heal”,
  or simply say words with positive vibration, such as “love, healing, balance”.
  Important note: If you have a fever – wait until the fever has gone down or fill the bath with water at room temperature.
• Take as much vitamin C as possible: Vitamin C capsules are best because they ensure a high amount of the vitamin, but you can also eat oranges, tangerines, mango, pineapple, beetroot or papaya. All of which are very rich in vitamin C.
• Take natural antibacterial: Capsules with curcumin, papaya seeds or garlic – as well as fresh ones – are most effective in case of infections or fever. This is just like taking antibiotics, only without weakening the immune system. On the contrary – it strengthens it naturally and gives the body everything it needs to carry on.

Embrace Your Soul In The Process

Love and support can be key: If you can, make sure you have someone close by who can give you some love and support when you’re feeling down. Talk about it, ask for it. You deserve it!
However, if you really don’t have anyone close to you, you can always give yourself the love you need. This love will have the strongest effect on you. 🙂
Alternatively, you can always use this love spell exercise:

• Write down 3-5 people you really appreciate in your life and add the reason why. Try to feel it in your body, why and how much you love those people.
• Send them a message telling them so.
  The reactions will surprise you! You will be filled with love, and will get so much love back. This will dramatically improve your discomfort and make you feel amazing. In fact, this is a great way to boost your energy in general. But especially when you are really in pain and need to hear how great you are – TRY THIS AT HOME 🙂
  This is a win-win practice where all sides are happy. I’m sure you’ll agree after you try it.

Speed Up The Healing Process

Soft stretches: When we practice stretches, we stimulate blood circulation, which also helps the healing process in our body. It also relieves muscle pain that occurs during illness or busy days. With soft movements, we can release tension throughout the body. With that being said, It is important to do the right exercises for this time. The goal is to achieve ease, not to tense up or strain. For this purpose, I have prepared for you a session that is especially suitable for the time of illness. This soft yoga flow will show you what you can practice, when you feel sick. You can even practice with it while having a fever. Just make sure you listen to your body and rest whenever you need to. There is no rush or place you need to be. 🙂
It’s all about BEING with your body, helping you and your body to heal.
