Why do we need to self heal? The mind is an incredibly powerful force. Whether your body needs alignment physically, mentally or emotionally, these basic principles help us to make the right choices and think in a healthier, more positive and productive way.

1. Listen to what your body is telling you
Your body is incredibly intuitive; sometimes it only takes the time and patience to listen to what it has to say.

2. Let your body heal itself
Your body is constantly healing, maintaining and restoring itself. From a broken heart to a scrape or bruise, let your body do what it does best and let it heal in its own time.

3. Trust yourself
Trust that you are doing the right thing. Listening to your body is not enough by itself if you do not truly believe in the decisions that you’ve made. Trust your judgements, trust your body, trust yourself.

4. Be one with the universe
Just like the turning of the waves against the pull of the moon, our bodies are in tune to the microcosm of the universe. We shift and bend as a smaller cog in a universal clock, designed to change and move with the good times and the bad.

5. It’s all natural
The process of healing is not always a quick process but know that your body is an efficient and intelligent energy system. It moves with grace and elasticity, fluid continuous movement that adheres to your inner energy.

6. A happy life is a healthy life
Your body is a stranger to stress. It is only when we introduce poor diet, lack of exercise or other unhealthy life choices that the body’s optimal efficiency is compromised. When we achieve vitality and joy the body produces a natural healthy amount of dopamine, often mistaken for an adrenaline rush. This natural “hum” improves and awakens the body for a happier, healthier way of life.

7. Give thanks
It’s important to thank yourself and appreciate the hard work you’ve put in to becoming the best version of you. Thank those around you who have supported, enabled and encouraged you through all those tough times.

Love, compassion and kindness are the stepping-stones to leading a fuller and brighter life. Place love into yourself and onto those around you who pass it onto you. Breathe the energy of life for a better you.
