Articles | Love Your Self with Therapeutic Self-Healing Touch
By Barbara J. Semple
Knowing how to help your Self is the ultimate knowing of your Self, loving of your Self. It's about the feeling. Knowing isn't a mental thing, it is a whole body-mind-spirit sense. To get to that place of knowing within your Self can take some time, reinforcing the feelings, the understanding, and the fulfillment. "Where do you begin this knowing of how to help yourself?" you might ask.
Look, listen, see, hear and feel for your body's harmony. Sighing and exhaling are simple ways the body releases. Consider looking in the mirror before you begin your daily self-healing touch routine. Then after you've completed your "healing energy maintenance" for the day, look in the mirror again. Do your eyes have more sparkle? Is your skin more toned, less puffy or wrinkled? Look for that - sparkle, tone, wrinkle- and puffy-free - harmony.
Some people may not feel anything or notice anything at the moment they are doing their self-help routine. They'll simply discover later that the symptom or "body message" just isn't there anymore. When you focus on looking for your body-mind-spirit harmony and you do hear, see and feel a harmonious sensation (the body responding), you are building a relationship and a communication with your body the same way you might continue to refine and improve your communication and language skills with your pet, or life partner - a loved one. The understanding and knowing of the body's response may take some time, just like any love relationship. Continue to apply therapeutic self-healing touch (love?) anyway. Each person's energy harmony is unique to the individual. Consider for an extra moment that knowing how to help your Self is the ultimate knowing of your Self. What a truly precious gift!
Regular therapeutic self-healing touch satisfies a basic human need. The founder of the Non-Violent Communication Movement (NVC), Marshall B. Rosenberg, says: "We are all created from the same energy. We all have the same needs." He says that who we are in any moment can be observed at the common denominator level in each of us. What is alive in us in any moment is what 'I'm feeling and needing' in that moment. We all want and need to feel loved and we need to receive feedback from another that we have been heard, we are special, precious and lovable. Your magnificently intelligent body, which cannot be separated from the mind and spirit parts of you until "death do you part," has those same needs to be heard, appreciated and loved.
With daily, dedicated time (before you go to sleep at night or before you get out of bed in the morning, for example) for your own Healing Touch Quick Steps - Powerful Things You Can Do Instantly to Bring Your Body into Harmony®, you give to your Self what millions want someone else to give them - love and respect. Being with your Self, paying attention, devoted to your wholeness, feeling the pulsing of your life force flowing through your body, exhaling, sighing, inhaling, feeling unburdened, enlivened, uplifted, strengthened, peaceful - this practice can only lead to self-love, self-knowing, self-appreciation - the very things we all want and need. And, YOU become the catalyst for this deep peace and joy in your own life.
Consider learning to love your Self through therapeutic self-healing touch. Start with 5 minutes a day and work your way up to an hour a day - just for your Self. Experience for your Self the feeling of being well-loved. What will the Law of Attraction bring into your life from that place of love and respect for your Self? Certainly something harmonious! Take care. Take great self-care.
Blessings,
