What Does Healing Mean?

Healing means wholeness, thus in order to heal on all levels, we must consider all aspects which make great health possible. Our bodies have a secret language they communicate to us with. If we learn to listen to our bodies' natural wisdom, then our wellbeing will improve, our lives will prosper and we will experience happiness, fulfilment, and joy.

The first step to healing is knowing that you want to be well. The next step is taking action. I ask people in many of my lectures if they feel that they can improve 2% a week. Everyone says that this is doable. Then I ask how much improvement is that in a year? ‘More than 100% ‘, is most people's enthusiastic response. This means that if you focus on slow and steady and make small improvements, by the end of the year you will be a much healthier person.

Dr. Bernie Siegel the author of Love Medicine and Miracles says, “You can get up and move, wait for a disaster to occur to you or seek wisdom.” On a daily basis, I share with my clients and workshop participants that they can either learn things the easy way or the hard way. The easy way is to listen to their body and follow its wisdom. The hard way is to do nothing and then get sick. Either way, it’s a choice.

Below is a short exercise to help you tune in, communicate with your body and heal. It is taken from my book The Secret Language of Your Body: The Essential Guide to Health and Wellness.

Exercise for tuning into your body:

Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down
Count backward from thirty as you take deep breaths and allow your mind and body to relax
Focus on an area in your body that feels blocked or where you have pain
Breathe into the area for a few moments, and then place your hands on that area
Ask your body, ‘Is there any message you want to give me?’
Take a few deep breaths as you allow any messages to come to the surface
Write this message down
Say: ‘I call on my Divine Healing Intelligence to help release all pain, blockages and density from this area.’
Allow yourself to watch and feel, as dense energy leaves your body.
Say: ‘I call on my Divine Healing Intelligence to infuse this area with healing energy. I command that all the immune mechanisms of my body be activated and my body now return to a state of perfect balance and health.’
Breathe in continuously for a minute, allowing the energy to build
Imagine a gold light moving through your body and repairing it
When you feel lighter gently bring your awareness back to usual and open your eyes, knowing that you have activated your own Divine Healing Intelligence

You can use this exercise on a daily basis, either to focus on specific problems or to heal your whole body.

The Morning Mindfulness 2

When attempting to change or remove programs or behaviors that no longer serve us (or never did) there is one element that must be attained: awareness; and there are two elements that must be reinforced daily: persistence and consistency. Think about it, some of these programs have been operating within our life since the age of five or seven and are still being played out today. For example, I have a friend that grew up impoverished and food wasn't always available, but when it was, he would eat until he felt sick because the next meal was unforeseeable. This programming continued into his teenage and adult years causing a life-threatening onset of obesity. When the awareness arrived as to why he felt as if he must always overeat and that the circumstance(s) in life that brought about that programming were no longer relevant, he was able to make the proper adjustments to remove that program from their life.

Awakening to Your Unique Path: Understanding Life Purpose and Soul Mission

Do you ever feel a gentle nudge in your heart, as if your soul is whispering that there’s more to life than meets the eye? This sensation often arises when we begin to contemplate our life purpose and soul mission —two profound aspects of existence that shape who we are and why we’re here. In this blog, we’ll explore the difference between life purpose and soul mission, why they matter, and how to align with them to live a life of fulfillment, joy, and impact. Life Purpose vs. Soul Mission: What’s the Difference? While they are interconnected, your life purpose and soul mission serve different roles in your spiritual journey: Life Purpose Your life purpose is like the overarching theme of your journey. It’s the thread that runs through your experiences, relationships, and contributions to the world. For some, it may manifest as a calling to teach, heal, create, or inspire. Life purpose aligns closely with your unique talents and passions—the gifts you bring to the collective. Soul M...

The Journey is the Destination

Ruba and I started a journey roughly four months ago, bringing only what we could fit in our 2017 Civic. Reducing two lives into a Civic isn't the easiest task, but when adventure calls...you answer. What we're doing will be shared in future blogs, but before we go any further, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nick Nelson and I am a seeker of knowledge. I believe knowledge is what separates or compartmentalizes us within Time. For example, a child is a child and an adult is an adult due to knowledge. The more knowledge one retains, the greater their responsibility in this place. I am one that believes the greatest responsibility is one's self, therefore knowledge of the self is of great importance in this place. As this journey unfolds, so will I.

Meet Worries with Prayer: Transforming Fear into Faith

Worry is a quiet thief. It sneaks in, uninvited, wrapping itself around our thoughts, whispering doubts, and weighing us down with burdens that often aren’t even ours to carry. It tells us stories of what could go wrong, of what we lack, of how we might fail. But what if, instead of entertaining these worries, we met them with something more powerful—something transformative? What if we met our worries with prayer ? The Shift from Fear to Faith Worry and prayer are both conversations with the unseen. Worry is a dialogue with fear; prayer is a dialogue with faith. When we worry, we invest our energy into imagined worst-case scenarios. But when we pray, we redirect that energy into trust—trust in a higher wisdom, trust in divine timing, trust in the unfolding of life. Each time worry creeps in, we have a choice: to sink deeper into fear or to turn toward the light of prayer. And in that moment of choice, we reclaim our power. Prayer as an Anchor Prayer isn’t about asking for things ...

Exactly Where You Need to Be: Embracing the Journey of Becoming

There may be moments when you feel stuck—when your dreams seem far away, and frustration whispers doubts into your mind. You may not be where you want to be right now, but what if you are exactly where you need to be? Every experience, no matter how challenging or uncertain, is shaping you. Life isn’t just about reaching the destination; it’s about who you become on the way there. The lessons, the resilience, the patience, and the wisdom you gain are just as valuable—if not more so—than the goal itself. So instead of resisting where you are, embrace it. Ask yourself: What is this moment teaching me? What strength am I developing? What insights am I gaining? If you can shift your perspective from frustration to trust, from impatience to presence, you’ll begin to see that every step—even the ones that feel like setbacks—are guiding you toward something greater. Your growth is happening in ways you may not fully see yet. Be grateful for where you are, stay active in your pursuit, but als...

It can get worse. It can get better.

A good friend of mine reached out to me with the following: "My favorite massage teacher in the whole world used to say, "If it can get worse, it can get better." and I want to hear your story about that." This is where my understanding is at the moment: How we see a situation is based on our judgment of it. And, whether we know it or not, we’re always judging. Consequently, we give a situation a path to a certain outcome based on the energy we give it with our judgment. So, if we see a situation as bad, then we give it permission and momentum to develop in that direction. And if we see a situation as a doorway to better possibilities, then our thoughts direct creative energy to the situation; guiding it to evolve in the direction of our beliefs. Over the last few years a creed developed for me that still stands unchallenged by my experiences. A set of three “rules”. The first two don’t pertain to the topic at hand, but the third is: ...

We're Doing It!

Waking up to a new reality. Waking up in Austin, Texas. It wasn’t an overnight whim nor was it entered into lightly or simply. It took courage, introspection and Soul growth. It took many smaller steps towards an uncertain vision that held the possibility of adventuring into new experiences. Trading fear of the unknown and the comforts of the familiar in exchange for the possibility of finding something new out there and, more importantly, something new within ourselves. I could not have fathomed this odyssey long enough for it to become my reality nor could I have taken the first steps that lead to it without Nick. He holds the space for my outward thoughts and my inward meditations. His stillness calms me and his companionship keeps me brave. He keeps vigil over me that I do not regress into the previous versions of me. It takes new thoughts to shift paradigms. It takes new thoughts to make new choices. Thoughts and choices alone don’t bring about change - taking action brin...
